A wrong step and your ankle flares with pain, swelling, and doubt. Is it broken? Should you walk on it? How long will it take? Whether you rolled it off a curb or on the court, a clear plan now prevents lingering instability. The good news: most sprains heal with structured self-care. Start PRICE (protection,...Read More

Dry, cracked heels—heel fissures—occur when skin around the heel becomes thick, dry, and brittle enough to split. What starts as roughness can hurt, bleed, and even get infected. Often it’s dryness and pressure, but footwear, habits, and certain conditions can weaken the skin barrier. This guide breaks down why heels crack and what helps. We’ll...Read More

Want salon-smooth feet without a salon visit? Search results are packed with pedicure kits that promise to fix calluses, cracked heels, and ragged nails.

During a podiatrist-led assessment, we watch you walk (and sometimes run), measure pressures under your feet, and track joint motion to see how your feet, ankles, knees, and hips work together. The goal is simple: connect your symptoms—heel pain, shin splints, knee...Read More

In musculoskeletal care, that often means using your own cells, platelets, and growth factors (sometimes called “orthobiologics”) to reduce pain and support healing in injured or worn tissues.

Feeling unsteady, shuffling your steps, or tiring quickly on walks? Changes in gait often creep in after an ankle sprain, arthritis flare, surgery, neuropathy, or simply years of compensating in unsupportive shoes.
