Metatarsalgia is a condition in which the ball of the foot becomes painful and inflamed. The condition often occurs due to overuse and in athletes who participate in high-impact sports or activities that require extensive running and jumping, such as tennis, football, baseball, soccer, and track and field. Other causes for the condition include foot deformities, improper footwear or poorly fitting shoes, stress fractures, Morton’s neuroma, or excess weight.
Symptoms of metatarsalgia revolve around pain felt in the ball of the foot. Sharp, aching, or burning pain is typically described. Pain may also worsen while standing, running, or walking before improving while resting. Sometimes the feeling of having a pebble in one’s shoe is described.
Treatment for metatarsalgia typically includes icing and bandaging the area. Your podiatrist may recommend that you avoid placing pressure on the foot for the first day. After this, orthotics, metatarsal pads, and ultrasound treatments may be used.
If you are experiencing metatarsalgia or are experiencing symptoms similar to the condition, avoid further physical activity that may strain the area. Contact us today to learn more about proper treatment!
Dr. Szpiro and Dr. Manchanda are experts in the treatment of toenail fungus through the use of laser therapy. Dr. Szpiro has also lectured extensively on laser treatment at the APMA Annual Scientific Meeting.
Toenail fungus, medically known as onychomycosis, is a very common infection of the nail. Initially, toenail fungus may present as white spots on the nail or black spots beneath the nail. Ridges will typically start to form, and the nail will seem rougher to the touch. As the infection progresses, the nail may thicken and become brittle, discolored, or misshapen. The growing fungus separates the layers of keratin in the toenail, which leads to the characteristic distorted look.
Toenail fungus is notoriously difficult to cure with over-the-counter medicines. From foot soaks to ointments, the efficacy of such treatments is extremely varied. Our practice, however, offers the Cutera Laser Genesis, advanced laser technology available to clear toenail fungus and a variety of other skin conditions through the Cutera Laser Genesis procedure. Treatment itself involves the delivery of pulsed laser energy to the targeted area of the nail and/or skin, where it passes through and is absorbed to reach the fungus. Cutera Laser Genesis is safe, comfortable, and effective.
Laser toenail fungus treatments are now used all over the world and can be performed in-office. The number of treatments required to cure the fungal infection varies by patient. If you are interested in Cutera Laser Genesis, contact our office today!
