General Practitioners

• Arthritis
• Plantar Fasciitis
  People with plantar fasciitis often describe the pain as worse when they get up in the morning or after they've beeen sitting for long periods of time. After a few minutes of walking the pain decreases, because walking stretches the fascia. For some people the pain subsides but returns after spending long periods of time on their feet.
• Emergency Care
  The structure of your foot is complex, consisting of bones, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Of the 26 bones in your foot, 19 are toe bones (phalanges) and metatarsal bones (the long bones in the midfoot). Fractures of the toe and metatarsal bones are common and require evaluation by a specialist. A foot and ankle surgeon should be seen for proper diagnosis and treatment, even if initial treatment has been received in an emergency room.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
• MRI
  If a bone spur is suspected, x-rays may be needed. Fluid removal (needle aspiration) may be done to help determine the degree of swelling and to decrease pain. To confirm a ganglion, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be done, which reveals images of soft tissue and bone.
• X-Rays
• Chemotherapy
  The most common cause of ingrown toenail is improper cutting, trimming, or tearing of the toenail. Injury, genetic irregularity, severe curvature of the nail plate, sports, improperly fit shoes, improper pedicures, and occasionally chemotherapy can lead to deformity of the nail plate and result in an ingrown toenail.

Surgeons

• Ingrown Toenails
  Since the most common cause of ingrown toenails is the improper cutting of the nail, it leads the patient to attempt self treatment, this becoming what is known as a "bathroom surgeon". This is especially true in the case of adolescents and young adults.

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Toes actually provide an important function during walking and as a result of that can develop problems of their own. The development of: bursa, corns, abscesses, ingrown toe nails, tendonitis, subluxations and angular deformity (Hammer Toe Syndrome) all can be produced by abnormal function of the toes.

• Flat Feet
• Hammertoes
  Some people confuse crossover toe with a hammertoe, probably because both conditions involve a toe that does not lie in the normal position. However, crossover toe is entirely different from a hammertoe - and much more complex.
• Heel Spurs
  Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis -- a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or, rarely, a cyst. Because there are several potential causes, it is important to have a heel pain properly diagnosed. A foot and ankle surgeon is best trained to distinguish between all the possibilities and determine the underlying source of your heel pain.

• Ingrown Toenails
  Toenails are simply an extension of our skin. The nail, or nail plate, is made up of the same type of cells that makes up our skin, which is the largest organ of the human body. Like every other organ in the body, there can be problems. By far, the most common problem with human toenails are when they become embedded in the surrounding skin, or nail fold. This is known as an ingrown toenail.
• Metatarsalgia
  A proper history and physical examination by your Podiatric physician is necessary to be sure that the diagnosis is accurate. Other conditions such as arthritis, synovitis, tendinitis, metatarsalgia, or other types of tumors may mimic the symptoms of Morton's Neuroma.
• Foot Neuroma
  Over 100 years ago, a British physician named a benign tumor of the foot after himself and called it "Morton's Neuroma". Modern medicine has shown that this tumor, which most often occurs between the bases of the 3rd and 4th toes, should be more accurately termed "perineural fibrosis" because it is a build up of scar tissue (fibrosis) around, not within, the small nerves between the metatarsal heads. This scar tissue becomes enlarged and causes compression on the nerve, which results in decreased blood and oxygen to the affected nerve segment, resulting in pain. This neoplasm or tumor can occur between any of the metatarsal heads of the foot.
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes. In this condition, the fascia first becomes irritated and then inflamed-resulting in heel pain.
