Gait analysis is a structured look at how your body moves when you walk or run. By watching your stride and, when needed, using tools that record foot pressure, joint motion, and timing, a clinician can spot patterns that cause pain, instability, or recurring injury. In simple terms, it turns your steps into measurable data—so […]

Diabetic therapeutic shoes are medical-grade footwear designed to protect sensitive feet and reduce the risk of sores, ulcers, and amputations in people living with diabetes. They use extra depth and width, smooth interiors, and cushioned, removable inserts to spread pressure and prevent friction and rubbing. Unlike regular shoes, they’re made to accommodate deformities, swelling, and […]

The plantar fascia is a tough, fibrous sheet of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. Anchored at the inner heel bone (medial calcaneal tubercle) and fanning forward toward the toes, it supports your arch, stores and releases energy with each step, and helps turn the foot into a stable lever during […]

A burning, tingling, or “hot” sensation in your feet can be hard to ignore—especially when it strikes at night or after a long day on your feet. For some, it’s a mild nuisance; for others, it disrupts sleep, exercise, and everyday activities. While fatigue or a skin irritation may explain occasional symptoms, persistent burning feet […]

If you’ve ever juggled appointments, test results, and specialist referrals, you know how confusing care can feel. A care coordinator is the person who connects the dots. They organize services across providers, keep communication flowing, help patients understand options, and make sure the right care happens at the right time. You’ll find care coordinators in […]

Limb salvage is a care plan designed to save a threatened arm, leg, foot, or ankle from amputation. In simple terms, it means removing what’s dangerous (like infected tissue or a tumor), restoring blood flow if it’s poor, and rebuilding the limb so it can function—often with a mix of debridement, vascular procedures, bone and […]

Patient-centered care is a way of delivering health care that starts with you—not the diagnosis. It means clinicians treat you as a partner, respect your goals and values, and tailor plans to your life, resources, and preferences. Information is shared clearly, decisions are made together, care is coordinated across providers and settings, and safety and […]

That stabbing jolt with your first steps out of bed. The ache that creeps in after a long shift on your feet. The tight, tugging sensation at your heel after a run. Heel pain—often from plantar fasciitis, a tight Achilles tendon, or overworked foot muscles—can turn simple outings into a cautious shuffle and make workouts […]

Those first painful steps out of bed, the jab under your heel after sitting, the way hard floors seem to “wake up” the ache—heel pain (often plantar fasciitis) can derail workouts, workdays, and everything in between. The wrong shoes can keep the fascia irritated and your heel tender. The right pair, on the other hand, […]

Foot pain can hijack your day fast — the first steps out of bed feel like a jab in the heel, your arches ache after a shift, or tight calves tug on your ankles during a run. Whether it’s plantar fasciitis, general heel soreness, or fatigue through the arch, the right movements can ease pain, […]
