Wear the right kind of footwear

November 10, 2009 by footpainrelief2008

People spend hours of time and loads of money on beauty products for the face. Very few take the trouble to spend even a quarter of that time on their feet. The feet carry the weight of our body and are one of the most important but abused part of our body. Ill-fitting shoes are worn for style rather than comfort. This is usually the cause of foot pain. Bunions and foot corns are formed due to ill fitting shoes. When there is a swelling of the bone and tissue around the big toe it is called a bunion. It occurs due to extreme pressure on the toe caused by tight shoes.

A build up of dead skin cells causes corns and calluses. This forms to protect the feet against the pressure caused by ill fitting footwear. People who are diabetic should take particular care of their feet as they could get infections which will not subside and may lead to other problems. If you suffer from any kind of foot ailment you should consult a podiatrist immediately and get your foot treated.

Smelly, sweaty feet often put us in an embarrassing situation, which can get very discouraging. Scientists claim that our feet produce as much as 60 ml of sweat each day. If that is the case with normal feet, consider the condition of our feet when it’s subject to continuous stress and pressure from using improper foot wear and undertaking strenuous work schedules. To add to this, most of us never bother to wash our feet or take proper care.

Remedial measures

Though foot odor is not considered as a serious foot condition, it is important that we take proper remedial measures to cure it. There are several remedies for foot care which we could try at home to prevent foot odor and sweaty feet. There are several individuals who believe that bathing is enough to wash their feet. In fact we use our feet more than other body parts. Another major factor is the use of tight and improper fitting shoes. Avoiding such foot wear prevents such foot problems and the use of common foot care products like sprays, insoles, washes, etc could help us fight against foot odor and sweaty feet.

The different faces of arthritis

October 29, 2009 by footpainrelief2008

Arthritis is one of the most common health conditions today and it is second only to heart disease in causing inability to work. Today, one in every three Americans suffers from arthritis and a considerable percentage of this is children. Arthritis is not a single condition but it refers to more than a hundred different conditions that affect the joints. Acute joint pain is caused as a result and this makes it highly impossible to work alone. Today, arthritis limits more than seven million Americans from doing their everyday activities such as walking, bathing, dressing, etc. and the sad fact is that more than half of these patients believe that nothing can be done to relieve them of their joint pain.

Fight the disease

Arthritis is a chronic health condition that manifests itself mostly in the form of degeneration of the joint tissue and joint pain. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common types of arthritis that is found in most people. It is the condition where the two bones forming a joint, begin to rub against each other due to the complete degeneration of the cartilage, protecting these bones. Rheumatoid arthritis is a form of arthritis that affects mostly women. It is a condition which could cause disability and also affect the activity of the body’s immune system.  Similarly, juvenile arthritis affects children. It isn’t a different condition but a common term for all forms of the disease that affect children.

Unlike the times of the past, arthritis was considered to be incurable and the person who suffered from this health condition had to bear the pain and deal with it. However in recent times, there are several effective methods of treatment that could assist people to fight against this dangerous and persistent health condition. There are an enormous number of products like splints, metatarsal pads, toe correctors, arch supports, heel supports, gels, sprays, etc. All of these products are available at Dr. Mike’s foot store and along with Dr. Mike Cornelison; all the doctors at the Cupertino podiatry are well experienced in treating the various conditions of arthritis.

Achilles Tendonitis

October 26, 2009 by footpainrelief2008

Our lifestyle today has become really hectic, where we are continuously on the move. To keep ourselves fit and successful, healthy feet is a very important factor. But most of us do not care for our feet. Recent studies reveal that a considerable percentage of working individuals in the US miss at least a day’s work due to heel pain or other foot problems. One of the most common foot problems that affect a lot of individuals is Achilles Tendonitis, which refers to the inflammation and degeneration of the Achilles tendon, causing pain and discomfort while walking.

Over use and workouts

All of us are truly aware that our feet are made up of a complex network of bones, muscles and tendons. The Achilles tendon serves to connect the calf muscle to the heel and thus helps us in walking. Sometimes, when our feet and legs are subjected to excessive pressure and strain due to strenuous activity or the use of improper foot wear, it causes swelling and pain in the Achilles tendon which leads to Achilles tendonitis. This may be caused even due to extended workout sessions or continuous hard work that has a lot to do with the feet. Achilles tendonitis is one of the foot problems that require a lot of podiatric care. If neglected, it could lead to the rupture and tear of the Achilles tendon, which is a very serious condition and would require surgery for proper recovery.

Heel pain, swelling, redness, inflammation and warmth in the tendons are ideal symptoms for Achilles Tendonitis. Pain medication, anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy are essential to bring about an efficient cure while other foot care products like splints, braces, etc. play a major role in curing and also preventing foot problems such as these from recurring often. Dr. Mike Cornelison, one of the leading podiatrists in Cupertino can provide the best podiatric care not only for Achilles tendonitis but all other foot problems too. Visit his clinic at Cupertino podiatry located at 10353 Torre Avenue, Suite C, Cupertino, California 95014. You can also call for an appointment at (408) 446-5811. Healthy feet are essential factors that could help us achieve success in the long run. So make sure your feet stay fit and healthy which would help you enjoy your life to the fullest.

Toenail problems

October 21, 2009 by footpainrelief2008

In everyday life, our feet are subjected to a lot of pressure from external sources. Our toenails act as an external protective covering that protects the toes and prevents them from getting injured. But at times, even our toenails are damaged because of our actions such as improper foot care and the use of improper foot wear. Toenail problems affect people of all ages but it is more common among older people. There are several conditions that can affect our toenails. Properly groomed toe nails are an essential factor for healthy feet.

Causes and preventive measures

Some of the most common conditions that affect our toenails are ingrown toenails, toenail infections, Psoriasis and also other physical conditions such as big or brittle nails. All these conditions manifest themselves in the form of distinct color changes and swelling in the area around the nails. Some of the fungal infections that affect the toenails also cause the discharge of a staunch odor. One of the most common toenail infections is paronychia which is a bacterial infection. It affects the toenail causing swelling and redness in the skin along with discoloration of the toenail. The use of antibiotics, antifungal creams and lotions could help to cure our toenail problems and prevent them from recurring. Dr. Mike’s foot store has some of the best products available. In addition, the foot store also provides patients with separators, toe caps, etc. to help the condition heal fast and also prevent the infection from spreading. Ingrown toenails occur mainly due to improper foot care and improper trimming of the toenails. In this condition, the toenail grows into the skin causing it to swell with severe pain.

Toenail problems, like any other foot condition requires proper medical attention in order to prevent complications. Dr. Cornelison is one of the most experienced foot doctors in the Santa Clara bay area. Call him at (408) 446-5811 if you would like an appointment. Proper foot care and professional trimming by a good foot doctor would help to cure all possible toe nail problems. Following these preventive measures in an organized manner could help us have healthy feet and well groomed toenails.

Complications of diabetic foot problems

October 20, 2009 by footpainrelief2008

Diabetes is one of the most dangerous and widespread diseases in the world. In the United States, 18.3 million people are affected by it which accounts for 6.3 percent of the population. It affects people of all ages and one of its most common manifestations is in the form of foot problems. It has been found that diabetic foot problems are the most common cause for foot amputation and they also complicate existing foot problems which will have a serious impact on our daily life. Foot ulcers, foot infections, neuropathy, calluses, etc are some of the common diabetic foot problems.

Ulcers, infections and neuropathy

According to recent reports, a minimum of 15 percent of all people with diabetes develop foot ulcers at some point of time and six out of every thousand diabetic patients develop foot problems that eventually leads to amputation of the foot. But the more important fact that most of us fail to realize is that close to three fourths of all foot amputations caused by neuropathy and poor circulation could be prevented with careful foot care. The reason why diabetic patients suffer from foot ulcers and other foot infections is because most of the micro organisms causing foot infections find the excessive blood glucose as a favorable breeding ground. Proper foot care and regular washing of the feet would help prevent this condition. Neuropathy on the other hand, is a common condition in all diabetic patients as they suffer from nerve damage and degeneration of the nervous tissue. Though it does not hurt, it mitigates the ability to feel pain and also prevents wounds from healing properly. Hence people who suffer from both foot ulcers as well as neuropathy find it very difficult to recover quickly.

Dr. Cornelison is one of the few foot doctors in Cupertino, California who is highly experienced in treating such conditions caused due to diabetic foot problems. You can fix an appointment with him by calling (408) 446-5811.

The solution for dry and cracked feet

October 14, 2009 by footpainrelief2008

Our feet play a very important role in our life like any other body part and so we need to take proper care of them. Most of the foot conditions that affect us today are caused mainly due to the lack of proper foot care and the use of improper foot wear. One of the common foot conditions that we neglect most often is dry feet or cracked feet. Having dry and cracked feet makes us look dirty and tarnishes the image of the person, especially women, no matter how pretty or how much care the person has taken for their looks. They are not to be neglected as they could lead to several complications leaving our feet in a battered state.

Moisturizers, lotions and creams

Dry and cracked feet occur mainly due to the nature of our skin. In most people, the skin is excessively dry causing cracked feet especially at the heels. The problem of dry skin can be controlled by the use of suitable and efficient moisturizers to moisten the skin from time to time. But in some cases, if the condition is not treated at the right time, the skin would become rough and thick, making it difficult for moisturizers to cause any effect. These foot conditions may not cause any disastrous consequences, but neglecting it would not be wise because, the skin being cracked could lead to other infections such as bacterial and fungal infections. Hence, seeking the right medical attention would not only help to prevent large, open cracks, but would also help to accentuate your looks.

Dr. Mike Cornelison and his highly experienced group of doctors at the Cupertino podiatry could help you find efficient solutions to all your foot problems. They also have the best foot care products available at Dr. Mike’s foot store. So if you live in the San Jose area, you could get the best possible treatment for all your foot conditions at the Cupertino podiatry.

The main cause for heel pain

October 12, 2009 by footpainrelief2008

Heel pain is one of the most common foot problems that affect many people around the world today. There are several causes for heel pain, the most common of which is plantar fasciitis. Our feet are made of several bones, muscles and tendons. The plantar fascia is a band of tissue that connects the toes with the heel and provides the feet with the flexible arch structure that is very important for running, walking and every other activity in which our feet play a part. Sometimes, our feet are subjected to excessive stress and pressure which affects the plantar fascia, causing it to swell with the result of severe pain.

Heal the cause of the condition

The plantar fascia has the characteristic of elasticity which facilitates walking, running, jumping, etc. As a person gets older, the elastic nature of the plantar fascia reduces causing heel pain. Since most of the common health problems express themselves in the form of foot problems, there can be several other causes for plantar fasciitis. Health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, flat feet, etc are some of the common causes for plantar fasciitis and heel pain. In recent times, many podiatrists have reported the increasing number of patients suffering from heel pain and in most cases, the use of improper foot wear is the main cause. Assistance from experienced podiatrists could help you find a proper and efficient solution.

Plantar fasciitis does not have any remedial measure for itself like most foot problems. The only way to find an efficient cure is to find and incorporate corrective measures for the source that has caused the condition. If too much work load on your feet is one of the causes, you would have to reduce it. But if you are a person who runs or walks a lot, it does not mean that you have to stop running or walking altogether. Instead, the use of orthotics and other foot care products could help you. Podiatrists like Dr. Mike Cornelison and other experienced podiatrists at the Cupertino podiatry could help you find the best solution to plantar fasciitis. Dr. Cornelison also has a wide range of foot care products to suit your preferences and needs at his foot store in the San Francisco bay area, which could help you enjoy your life as always.

Explore the Nuances of the Culture of Skilled Care

October 8, 2009 by footpainrelief2008

Is your ankle swollen and warm? Do you have pain in your heel? Common among younger, middle-aged and elderly people, Achilles tendonitis or tendonitis of the heel is an irritation, swelling and inflammation of the Achilles tendon. With various causes attributed to overuse, Achilles tendonitis occurs when there is stress on the Achilles tendon that connects the soleus and the gastrocnemius muscles in the calf to the heel. With years of detailed study and experience, the podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry near San Jose, California render expert and skilled care to put their patients back on their feet so they can lead normal lifestyles.

With thorough examination and precise diagnosis, the doctors at the Cupertino clinic offer skilled know-how and advice with detailed and accurate care. Some of the symptoms of Achilles tendonitis are pain in the heel while running or walking. Acute tendonitis is diagnosed when the tendon may be warm, swollen, painful and tender to touch especially on palpation. The pain continues over a period of time and increases when exercising and eases with rest. If the symptoms are ignored, chronic Achilles tendonitis results and that is difficult to treat especially in older athletes. Symptoms of chronic tendonitis are manifested in pain that continues through weeks and sometimes months. Stiffness and pain occurs in the Achilles tendon in the mornings after rest, pain when exercising and when walking up the stairs or climbing a hill. There may be thickening or swelling and nodules or lumps over the Achilles tendon with tenderness on palpation. In some cases, the skin on the tendon will be red in color and a creaking feeling results upon being pressed while moving the ankle. The experts at the Cupertino podiatry clinic render detailed care with complete examination and the necessary tests according to their accurate diagnosis.

Contributing to a Healthy and Normal Lifestyle

The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry not only perform a physical examination but also go into an in-depth survey where severe cases need imaging studies, X-rays and an MRI that outlines inflammation in the tendon. The doctors at the clinic in Cupertino offer effective treatment with ice, rest, physical therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like ibruprofen and aspirin. The podiatrists at the Cupertino clinic also offer advice that involves rest and limitation of strenuous activities. The podiatrists may even suggest a brace, cast, heel pad or boot that does not allow the heel to be exerted where the swelling subsides. In some of the severe cases where topical treatment does not work, the podiatrists will recommend surgery especially when there is an Achilles rupture to remove any abnormal areas or inflamed tissue of the tendon. With Achilles tendonitis occurring due to overuse, there are other factors that also contribute to a more serious condition. Achilles tendonitis occurs and increases in severity when there is increased activity with less time between to rest, if the usual footwear or the training surface is changed, weak calf muscles, tight calf muscles causing decreased range of motion of the ankle joint, running up hills, overpronation of the feet, high heels and running shoes with no shock absorbers.

The podiatrists at the clinic in Cupertino offer efficient treatment options that focus on prevention. Their advice involves stretching the tendon before any exercise that helps to maintain flexibility. They also recommend shoe inserts such as arch supports, heel cups and custom orthotics to prevent Achilles tendonitis and rectify abnormalities. With the right diagnosis, the podiatrists at the Cupertino clinic suggest rest, immobilization of the injured area, Heel Wedge, anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy and applying ice to the injured area. Severe cases are also treated with cortisone injections. The experienced podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry offer customized care to ensure a safe and healthy lifestyle by advising their patients to contact their health care provider if symptoms recur so that timely help can be rendered with precise diagnosis to offer immediate relief.
