Questions & Answers

FAQ

1What if I have an ingrown nail?

Mild ingrown nails can be treated with mild soaks or cotton along the edge, but if they are red and painful will need professional attention. In many cases these need a topical anesthetic to treat and can be as simple as removing the edge or can also require permanent removal of the edge border of sometimes the entire nail if it has severe chronic deformity.

2What are orthotic devices or orthosis?

Orthotic devices are items that are used to enhance function and comfort of parts of the body that are causing problems due to misalignment. In the case of in shoe orthosis, orthotic devices are used to create balance in out of line structures to enhance performance and relieve stress or pain. As a conservative option, orthotics can be used for a variety of ailments often times avoiding surgical intervention.

3What are bunions?

Bunions are misaligned big toe joints that become swollen and tender. They are aggravated by tight shoes and on occasion are an arthritic deformity where the prominence is on top of the joint rather than on the side that hits the shoe. The great toe starts to angulate toward the other toes and can underlap, overlap or rub on the second toe. They tend to have a strong hereditary component, can run in families and can be aggravated by ill fitting shoes injuries or heavy activity. Conservative and surgical options can be considered.

4How should I cut my nails?

Cut nails straight across and lightly file the ends if needed for roughness or to avoid sock or stocking catches. Avoid cutting them too short as this often leads to ingrown nails and avoid digging at the corners. There should be a short free edge of the nail on the end.

5What are hammertoes?

Hammertoes are the development of a claw like or bent appearance in the toes that causes the knuckle to stick up and rub against the shoe or the adjacent toes. Poor shoe fit can aggravate it but tendon imbalances from a variety of causes such as heredity or adaptive change can cause them. Injuries also can bring them on. Shoe, sock and hosiery pressure can all aggravate these. Simply adjusting the shoe, stocking fit or shoe padding or supports can sometimes alleviate the problem.
