What is Metatarsalgia and how is it treated?
by Scott Anderson • September 16, 2021Pain in the ball of the foot, which is the spot between the toes and the arch, can be a symptom of metatarsalgia. Its name stems from the five metatarsal bones in the midsection of the feet that connect to the toes. These bones are designed to equally share the weight of walking and daily activities. When their delicate balance is disrupted, metatarsalgia occurs.

Nursing Clogs
by Anna Heston • June 17, 2021Nurses are often associated with utilitarian shoes that put function before fashion.

Gait Assessment
by Anna Heston • June 03, 2021Your gait is the manner in which your body moves when you walk, including the way your feet strike the ground.

A gait assessment is simply a professional observing your gait and drawing conclusions about the manner in which you walk.
Treating Ingrown Toenails
by Anna Heston • May 27, 2021Toenails seem simple enough to take care of but sometimes things can go wrong, and the result can be very painful.

Hallux Rigidus Treatment
by Anna Heston • May 06, 2021Hallux rigidus is essentially a painful, stiff big toe. This source of the problem is located in the joint at the base of the toe, where the toe meets the foot. Hallux rigidus is a progressive condition, meaning that it gets worse over time. At first the toe might feel painful and difficult to move but over time, it may not move at all.
Peroneal Tendonitis Treatment
by Anna Heston • April 29, 2021Although anyone can experience peroneal tendonitis, it is more prevalent among runners. Because these tendons help to stabilize the ankle when it is bearing weight, as well as help to stabilize the arch of the foot, they are well situated for overuse injuries.
Plantar Fasciitis and Stretching
by Anna Heston • March 25, 2021While many people who suffer from plantar fasciitis turn to corticosteroid injections and over-the-counter pain medications for relief, there is a growing body of evidence that strengthening and stretching exercises, along with supportive shoe inserts, are effective in reducing the symptoms of plantar fasciitis.

Corn Treatment
by Anna Heston • March 11, 2021Simply put, corns are the result of repeated friction and pressure on the skin on the hands or feet. Like calluses, they can feel hard or rough, but corns are different in that they are typically painful and have a hard center.
Neuropathy Treatment
by Anna Heston • March 04, 2021The peripheral nerves send messages from your brain and spinal cord back to your hands and feet. However, when these nerves are damaged, the messages become muddled. A person with neuropathy might feel heat, numbness, or pain when there seems to be nothing there to cause these feelings.
