Research in Progress: Explore new treatments for diabetic ulcers. Call (281) 391-1212 for more details.
Sending your child back to the soccer field or track should be exciting, but ignoring early warning signs of foot pain can quickly sideline their entire season. On the flip side, catching minor aches before they turn into severe structural problems saves your young athlete from painful recoveries and costly interventions down the road.
If you are signed up for a local autumn 5K, a half-marathon, or a full fall marathon, your high-mileage training block is officially underway. This rapid transition from casual summer jogs to strict, high-volume mileage is exactly when overuse injuries strike.
Summer in Texas means more time outdoors: grilling in the backyard, playing with the kids, gardening, or relaxing by the pool. While going barefoot may feel like part of the season, it can also expose your feet to injuries you might not expect.
Living with a bunion means dealing with daily discomfort and struggling to find shoes that fit. While this structural deformity will not simply vanish on its own, you’ve got life to live, and the symptoms must be managed.
For a healthy individual, a small blister from a walking shoe or a tiny scrape from walking barefoot is a brief annoyance. Yet for someone with diabetes, that same blister can escalate into a non-healing ulcer or a severe infection. However, an active, mobile life is possible. Living with diabetes does not mean you have to live in fear of severe complications.
As podiatrists, we see patients every day who have accidentally made their tendonitis worse by following old locker-room myths. Treating a damaged tendon the same way you treat a bruised muscle is a recipe for a rupture…and that requires surgery.
In general, it is both fascinating and wonderful to watch children grow. You celebrate their first steps. You buy their first pair of soccer cleats. But when your child starts tripping constantly, walking “funny,” or complaining that their legs are tired, anxiety replaces excitement. You might ask: “Is this just a phase, or is something wrong?”
For some people, walking up the stairs sounds like a percussion section. But is a noisy ankle a bad ankle? The medical term for joint noise is Crepitus. The good news is that noise without pain is usually harmless. But noise with pain (or a feeling of catching) requires attention. Fulshear Foot & Ankle explains in detail below.
Fulshear Foot & Ankle always puts prevention front and center, and we’ve seen far too many of these injuries get worse when they could have been prevented. With that in mind, read on for a Podiatrist’s Cheat Sheet that will help you choose the right approach. Tack it on the fridge and stop guessing for good!
