Podiatry

Podiatry New Windsor

Our podiatry department specializes in diagnosing and treating all disorders and conditions of the feet. Feet problems can affect people of all ages, but are most common in older people, diabetics and athletes. Podiatrists provide medical and surgical treatment of foot conditions that are caused by injury, disease or genetics. Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints and 100s of ligaments, muscles and tendons that are all under frequent pressure from daily activities. This puts the foot at high risk for injury and other damage. 75 percent of Americans will experience foot problems at some point in their lives.

Because the foot is such an important part of our daily lives, it often requires specialized care from a podiatrist. Foot problems can affect the bones, joints, muscles or skin of the area, all of which are highly susceptible to damage.

Common foot conditions that we treat include:
  • Athlete's foot
  • Blisters
  • Bunions
  • Corns and calluses
  • Foot odor
  • Hammertoe
  • Heel pain
  • Heel spurs
  • Infections
  • Ingrown nails
  • Neuromas
  • Sports injuries
  • Warts

Podiatry also covers treatment of foot and ankle trauma, sports medicine, overuse injuries, infection and diabetic foot care.

Reducing the risk of foot disorders can be done by simply following basic foot care. It is important to keep feet clean and dry, keep toenails trimmed and wear shoes that fit properly. Walking barefoot should be avoided as it makes your feet more prone to injury and infection. Eating a balanced diet with adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D will help keep the bones in the feet healthy.

If you experience regular foot pain or discomfort, it is important to see a specialist. Untreated foot disorders can worsen over time, or may be the first sign of a systemic disease. People at high risk for foot problems, such as those with diabetes, should see a podiatrist on a yearly basis.
