Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a foot condition that particularly causes a great deal of pain in the heel area. Some patients have described the pain as stabbing and is typically felt in the morning, when first getting out of bed. You may also experience pain with this condition if you stand or sit for long periods of time throughout the day. The development of plantar fasciitis is quite common among runners, those who are overweight, and those who do get enough support from their footwear.

Wound Care
Having an abscess on the toe can be a painful and annoying experience. A toe abscess may be caused by germs or oil in the toe, a hair follicle, or a skin puncture. An abscess is a sign of infection causing the sore to fill with pus and other fluids. Inflammation sets in, and the toe becomes red and painful to the touch. Ignoring a toe abscess can lead to more serious infections within the entire body. Before a podiatrist can treat an abscess, certain information is needed, including how long the abscess has been there and whether the toe was injured. If the abscess is advanced, the podiatrist will proceed to make a small cut to drain it, and then will flush the area with an antiseptic solution. A bandage will be applied to guard against further infection, and pain medication may be prescribed. One way to prevent another toe abscess is to maintain daily foot hygiene habits. For more information on wound care for a toe abscess, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist.Â
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Our podiatrists treat a variety of conditions including ankle pain, bunions, flat feet, hammertoe, warts, and nail fungus to name a few. Dr. Redko has a specific interest in both sports medicine and diabetic care. He also specializes in MLS laser therapy, regenerative medicine, wound care, and believes in minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Bomar has a strong interest in older adult and geriatric care. Our podiatrists will work with each patient to develop a unique plan that will address all his or her problems.
Ankle Surgery
Foot and ankle surgery may be performed depending on the severity of the injury. In any case, if you happen to develop a foot condition, itâ€™s always advised you seek the counsel of a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and advised treatment plan. If you notice an abnormal growth, a change in the appearance of your foot or ankle, discomfort while standing or walking, or general foot pain, it would be in your best interest to seek professional help, especially if surgery is the recommended treatment for your case.
Bunion Surgery
Bunions
No two bunions are exactly the same. Therefore, we customize each procedure to achieve the best anatomical correction and restoration of function, with the least amount of trauma and a quick return to activity. Most of our bunion patients are back in conventional shoes within three weeks. We feel strongly about returning patients to street shoes as early as possible as well as an early return to normal activities.
Ingrown Toenails
Podiatrists perform foot and ankle surgery to treat a number of different conditions. These may include bunions, heel pain, flat feet, arthritis of the foot or ankle, sports injuries, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, complications due to diabetes, and fractures, to name a few. Again, the need for surgery is dependent upon the type of injury you are experiencing, as well as its severity. This also means that the recovery process for surgery will vary as well. With that being said, most podiatrists will recommend you get plenty of rest, stay off your feet, ice the affected area to reduce swelling, and elevate the affected area.

Corns
Corns and calluses are hard layers of skin that usually form due to friction. Generally, they will be in areas of the foot that are bearing weight, or areas that frequently rub against the shoe. Soft corns are typically found between the toes.
Ulcer
While it may not seem apparent with small ulcers on the foot, for diabetics, any size ulcer can become infected. Diabetics often also suffer from neuropathy, or nerve loss. This means they might not even feel when they have an ulcer on their foot. If the wound becomes severely infected, amputation may be necessary. Therefore, it is of the upmost importance to properly care for any and all foot wounds.
Calluses
Many patients have experienced severe foot discomfort due to bunions, plantar warts, hammertoes, stress fractures, blisters, ingrown toenails, and corns and calluses, to name a few. Foot pain is often associated with the following symptoms: swelling, redness, warmth, tenderness, discoloration, stiffness, as well as burning, tingling, and numbing sensations. It may help to check the feet daily for any abnormalities or deformities that may be causing the foot pain. Treatment for foot pain will vary on a case by case basis, along with the recovery process.
Fungus
Fungal toenails form due to an infection that gets in between either the cracks in the nail or possible cuts on the surrounding skin. When this occurs, itâ€™s likely to discolor and thicken the nail; this makes it hard to care for or trim. The nail itself may also become brittle and could potentially crumble. The fungus under the nail may build over time, separating the nail from the bed and ultimately causing it to fall off if not treated properly.

Achilles Tendonitis
A condition that often results in serious heel pain is known as Achilles tendonitis. This condition may form when the Achilles tendon is damaged as a result of overuse. This particular injury can be very serious, as the Achilles tendonâ€™s main function is to connect the lower half of the calf muscles to the heel bone. If this tendon becomes damaged, it may result in difficulty walking and completing everyday tasks, as well as cause extreme discomfort and pain.
Ankle Sprain
People with flat feet may feel foot pain due to a straining of their muscles and connecting ligaments. Itâ€™s also common for people with flat feet to roll their feet as they walk, which may in turn cause discomfort for the ankle. Swelling of the calf, lower legs, knees, and lower back may form as a result of flat feet, along with the feeling of stiffness in the feet as well. Some of the most common reasons for the development of flat feet include genetic factors, a foot or ankle injury, arthritis, and damage to the nervous system. Specific exercises and foot stretches may help alleviate the discomfort that flat feet can often cause.
Bunions Problems
Bunions are misaligned big toe joints which can become swollen and tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward, and the second joint to angle toward the other toes. Bunions tend to be hereditary, but can be aggravated by shoes that are too narrow in the forefoot and toe. Surgery by a podiatric physician is frequently recommended to correct the problem.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes is a serious medical condition that can affect the nerves in the feet. Many diabetic patients develop neuropathy, which is the inability to feel cuts and scrapes that have developed on the feet. This can lead to getting infections and foot ulcers, both of which need immediate medical attention. Proper diabetic foot care begins with washing and drying the feet daily, followed by inspecting the soles of the feet for any abrasions. Many people choose to use a mirror to do this, or to ask a family member or caregiver to help them accomplish this. Additionally, it is beneficial for the toenails to be trimmed weekly. It is wise to stop smoking, if applicable, which may help to increase blood flow to the feet. Many diabetic patients know the importance of wearing shoes at all times, which can help to prevent stepping on objects that can damage the skin. If you have diabetes, it is strongly suggested that you are under the care of a podiatrist who can help you to manage this condition.
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
Hammertoes
Hammertoes get their name due to the abnormal appearance of the toe, in which it bends down like a hammer. A hammertoeâ€™s shape is formed by a deformed bending in the toeâ€™s middle joint. There are many factors that play into how hammertoes form. Trauma to the toe, such as stubbing, jamming, or breaking it, can make the toe more susceptible to developing into a hammertoe. Age and gender also influence the likelihood of getting a hammertoe. Women have also been known to be more likely to develop a hammertoe compared to men. Youâ€™re also more likely to develop this condition as you age. Certain diseases, such as arthritis and diabetes, have been known to influence the likelihood of forming a hammertoe.
Heel Spurs
A heel spur is a bony protrusion that occurs on the heel. It is often confused with plantar fasciitis, which is inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament. When a heel spur is painful it can make it quite difficult to walk.

Foot Neuroma
Morton's neuroma is a painful foot condition that commonly affects the areas between the second and third or third and fourth toe, although other areas of the foot are also susceptible. Mortonâ€™s neuroma is caused by an inflamed nerve in the foot that is being squeezed and aggravated by surrounding bones.
Plantar Fasciitis
When small tears occur on the fascia, it may become inflamed, especially if too much pressure is put on the tissue. Itâ€™s extremely important that you seek professional help as soon as you feel any type of foot pain. If plantar fasciitis is left untreated, thereâ€™s a high chance you may develop chronic heel plan. You may also develop other issues connected with your foot, knee, hip, or back, all due to the body walking differently to relieve pain felt from plantar fasciitis.
Podiatric Deformities
Mortonâ€™s neuroma, known as intermetatarsal neuroma, is an inflamed nerve in the ball of the foot, typically behind the third and fourth toes. It can occur from wearing tight shoes or from having foot deformities. Mortonâ€™s neuroma presents itself as pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, or burning of the front of the foot. Those who have had this condition liken it to the feeling of walking on a pebble or rolled-up sock. This nerve is sensitive to excessive weight on the foot and scar tissue can form around the nerve and sometimes enlarge it. Those who wear high heels or tight-fitting shoes are susceptible to this condition. Treatments vary by the severity of Morton's neuroma. Resting the foot, cushioning the ball of the foot with padding, and wearing orthotics to take pressure off of the nerve can help. If more conservative treatment does not relieve discomfort, surgery can be performed to remove the inflamed nerve segment. If you are suffering from pain in your midfoot, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and a treatment plan that is customized to your situation.
