Ankle Sprain
A sprained ankle occurs when you twist your ankle in an abnormal way causing the ligaments holding your ankle bones together to stretch or tear. Most sprained ankles involve injuries to the ligaments on the outer side of the ankle. Treatment for a sprained ankle depends on the severity of the injury. Although you may just need proper rest and pain medications to heal, it is important to have the sprain looked at by a professional to determine the severity and proper treatment.
Arthritic Foot Care
Arthritis, or joint pain or joint disease, is the leading cause of disability in America. More than 50 million adults and 300,000 children are suffering from some type of arthritis. Common symptoms include swelling, pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. Severe arthritis can result in chronic pain, inability to perform normal day-to-day activities, and has the potential to cause permanent joint damage.
Bunions Problems
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. They can develop from an inherited structural defect, excess stress on your foot, or can result from an existing medical condition.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Dr. Dunham practices all phases of Podiatric Medicine & Surgery to include: medical & surgical care of foot & ankle deformities, diabetic foot care – including limb salvage techniques, reconstructive foot surgery, management of the flat & arthritic foot, geriatric & pediatric foot care, trauma, and sports medicine. Additionally, Dr. Dunham performs in-office foot surgery, as well as Diagnostic Ultrasound, Arterial Doppler Studies (to evaluate circulation), and Laser Treatment (for pain and unsightly toenails).
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
Fungal infections in the toe or fingernails can appear as thickened, discolored, or disfigured. While it may seem like the condition is just an aesthetic concern, fungal infections can lead to worsened symptoms and pain. Diabetes, a weakened immune system, and the normal aging process are all causes associated with fungal infections. It is more likely for senior citizens and adults to develop a fungal infection as opposed to children.
Geriatric Foot Care
During the natural aging process, stress on your feet becomes prolonged and can cause pain and discomfort that need to be treated and managed. Some symptoms of elderly foot issues include dry and brittle skin and nails, tingling sensations, and feelings of numbness. It is important to seek medical assistance if you notice any of these symptoms so Dr. Denardo can assess a treatment plan to help alleviate and manage the normal changes in your feet.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a deformity where one or both joints of the second, third, fourth or fifth toes begin to bend outside of their normal alignment. Pressure can begin to weigh heavy on the toes as you wear shoes which is where pain and other symptoms develop.
Heel Spurs
Heel spurs occur in at least 50% of people who have plantar fasciitis. Past treatments for heel spurs, a bony growth that begins on the front of your heel bone and points toward the arch of your foot, included surgery to remove the growth. Nowadays, surgery is rarely a treatment option and more plans for physical therapy, ice, and pain medications are used to treat heel spurs.
Heel Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are a common condition where the corner of a toenail grows into the soft flesh surrounding the toe (usually the big toe). Ingrown toenails can be very uncomfortable, painful, and can easily lead to an infection in the toe. It is possible to take care of ingrown toenails on your own, but if the pain does not subside, Dr. Denardo can take steps to relieve the pain and help you avoid further complications caused by ingrown toenails.
Pediatric Foot Care
Many adult foot problems are rooted in childhood and could have been thwarted or prevented through proper foot care while growing up. Infant’s feet are very delicate and soft, and highly susceptible to deformities or injuries. The first year of a baby’s life is the most important in terms of foot growth and development. A child’s foot grows to half of its adult size in the first year. Any deformities or ailments should be treated immediately too avoid the future complications, such as leg or back pain, poor posture or gait, and feet and muscle distress. Children who suffer physically may also differ psychologically. A child who lives with foot pain or suffers with a deformity may avoid athletics and social functions as a result of feeling awkward. Wearing certain stylish shoes may be impossible due to the extent of the deformity. Many foot problems can be corrected if diagnosed and treated early.
