Ultrasound
To treat tendonitis, podiatrists may recommend rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the injured tendon. A short course of aspirin or any other anti-inflammatory drugs may be suggested as per the condition of the foot to help with inflammation and pain. Physiotherapy is recommended to strengthen the tendon and nearby muscle group when necessary. Daily stretching exercises help increase the movement of the joints. Ultrasound and whirlpool treatments are also useful to relax the muscles and promote healing.

Bunion Surgery
You might need bunion surgery if you have severe foot pain. Surgery may also be needed when big toe swelling and inflammation are not relieved with non-invasive methods.
Bunions
There are both surgical and non-surgical ways to treat the multiple types of bunions. Bunions are bone deformities, so they don’t get cured by themselves. Our podiatrists can help address all symptoms of bunion pain. First, we can provide relief from pain caused by irritation, motion, and shoes. Second, stop the further growth and enlargement of the bunion. Before proceeding to surgery, nonsurgical methods can be considered such as-
Ingrown Toenails
Another cause of ingrown toenails is an inherited imbalance between the size and growth of the nail and enlargement of the nail skin edge. The condition can also be due to improper trimming of the toenails, aggressive pedicures and nail picking. Ingrown toenail symptoms include redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes yellow pus drainage. Our podiatrists at University Foot Associates can help treat ingrown toenails in any condition. We recommend this condition be treated early before other issues develop.

Corns
With diabetes, your body is not able to manufacture or produce insulin properly. As you intake sugar and starches your body will find it difficult to cope up with the impact on the body and you may also have problems with your kidney, heart, eyes, and nerves. Podiatrists can help you to understand how diabetes can affect your feet to limit its impact. People with diabetes often have dry feet and troublesome corns. Aggressive rubbing can make them worse.
Cyst
Ulcer
There are certain lotions and foot products that have a dry effect which is not good for people who are having diabetes. The podiatrist will recommend the right product that fits you. If you have diabetes and you are careless about your feet then you are putting yourself at very high risk. Diabetic patients have to be extra careful with their footwears so as they do not develop any foot sores. Toenail care is highly important for diabetic patients as small cuts can escalate to a larger issue. Foot infection and diabetic foot ulcer treatment are also serious cases. As a mandatory rule for diabetic foot treatment, it is considered best to visit a podiatrist for the right education, diagnosis, and treat issues before they develop into bigger problems.
Calluses
Hammertoe is a condition that affects any one of the middle three toes. In this condition, the affected toe bends upwards from its joint, looking like a hammer. Hammertoes usually occur due to muscle imbalances. If the muscle gets too weak, the tendons in the toe have to bear the additional pressure. This can result in deformed joints. Sometimes, those with hammertoe can also develop corns or calluses.
Fungus
A: Left untreated, nail fungus can cause thickened, discolored nails and smelly feet. In some cases serious complications like infections that spread beyond your feet. This is more common for people with suppressed immune system and diabetes.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that is used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. It is most used to treat chronic tendon and ligament injuries, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and tennis elbow.

Achilles Tendonitis
A: ESWT, or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, is a type of shockwave therapy that uses high-energy sound waves to treat a variety of medical conditions. Unlike other forms of shockwave therapy, ESWT is non-invasive and does not require any incisions or needles. Instead, the sound waves pass through the skin and target the affected area, providing relief from pain and inflammation. ESWT is typically used to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, neuromas, scar tissue, and many other conditions.
Ankle Sprain
Bunions Problems
A: Once a bunion or bump at the big toe joint start, you are unable to get rid of it without surgical intervention. Wearing wide shoes, protecting the bunion with gel pads, and orthotics can relieve discomfort associated with bunions.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes can be dangerous for the feet, so diabetic foot care is important. A small cut or injury can cause serious damage to the nerves, and even take away the feeling in your feet. Diabetes can also minimize the flow of blood to the feet which makes it tougher to heal and resist infection. This causes numbness and due to this, you can not feel if any foreign material comes into your shoes. This could promote infection or a nonhealing wound that can put you at risk. Your feet can give you early warning signs of diabetes before you even know you have it. We have listed some for you below-
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
Toenail fungus is often ignored because the infection is present for years without any pain. You should consider visiting a podiatrist if you notice any such symptoms as discoloration, deformation, thickening of toenails. The earlier you seek the treatment, the greater the chances of getting rid of the fungal toenail. Treatments for toenail fungus depend upon the seriousness of the infection. A lab test is performed to identify the cause and then the suitable treatment is provided. It generally includes oral medication and removal of debris beneath the nail.
Hammertoes
Hammertoes are generally caused by prolonged usage of pointy, tight or heel shoes, diabetes-related complications or muscle imbalances due to spinal cord injuries.
Heel Spurs
A common cause of heel pain is heel spurs, a buildup of calcium at the bottom of your heel bone. You can get them from wearing improper shoes or putting too much pressure on your feet. Heel pain can typically be resolved through medical attention.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Foot Infections
Basic foot injuries that are left untreated can later cause more painful disorders and infections. Symptoms of foot infections include- swelling, redness, or a puncture. A more serious bone infection is possible as well. If you display these signs or symptoms, schedule a podiatrist appointment as soon as possible to receive proper wound care.
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail is a common and unpleasant condition. Athletes commonly suffer from this condition. It is often caused by improper shoes. An ingrown toenail is caused when pressure pushes the nail into the skin of the toe, also known as Onychocryptosis. When the edge of the nail breaks through the skin it causes inflammation, pain and discomfort. This wound can become infected and become a recurring problem.
Foot Injuries
Plantar Fasciitis
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is offered at our podiaty office using a machine that generates high energy shockwaves to stimulate deep tissue. It precisely targets areas of pain with varying levels of energy waves to stimulate blood flow and healing in the region. This non-invasive alternative to surgery is proven to be safe, effective, and beneficial for persistent foot issues like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, neuroma, chronic pain and more.
