General Practitioners

• Warts
• Arthritis
• Plantar Fasciitis
  From plantar fasciitis to ilio tibial band syndrome (IT band syndrome), custom orthotics can help resolve a variety of issues with the feet and body. A simple foot scan can help detect what imbalances you may have. Using the scan, custom orthotics are made to match your feet and help relieve any pain you may have.
• Medical Weight Loss
  EPAT has never been tested on pregnant patients, so EPAT is best avoided by expectant mothers. If you are a new parent, you should wait to be treated for at least 3 months after delivering your baby, as your foot pain may subside after weight loss and when your hormone levels return to normal.
• Diabetic Foot Care

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Ultrasound gel is applied on the skin of the area to be treated. The pressure waves are then delivered using a special applicator tip which is moved over the injured area.

• Wound Care
  Wound care is an important part in dealing with diabetes. If you have diabetes and a foot wound or would like more information about wound care for diabetics, consult with
• Pinched Nerve
• Ankle Surgery
  When it comes to receiving foot and ankle surgery, it’s typically a case by case situation. Some factors that play a role in whether or not you need surgery include the severity of your symptoms as well as your response to other conservative, noninvasive treatment methods.
• Bunions
  A bunion is a bony, painful swelling that is often formed on the first joint of the big toe. Bunions can be extremely painful due to the weight of all your body resting on it each time you take a step. Everyday activities, such as walking and wearing shoes, can cause you extreme discomfort if you have a bunion.
• Arthroscopy
• Ingrown Toenails
  Ingrown toenails can form when the side of a toenail begins to grow into the flesh surrounding the nail. As a result, the affected toe—most commonly the big toe—may become red, swollen, painful, and—in severe cases—infected.

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Corns and calluses are hard layers of skin that usually form due to friction. Generally, they will be in areas of the foot that are bearing weight, or areas that frequently rub against the shoe. Soft corns are typically found between the toes.
• Ulcer
  While it may not seem apparent with small ulcers on the foot, for diabetics, any size ulcer can become infected. Diabetics often also suffer from neuropathy, or nerve loss. This means they might not even feel when they have an ulcer on their foot. If the wound becomes severely infected, amputation may be necessary. Therefore, it is of the upmost importance to properly care for any and all foot wounds.
• Calluses
  To tell if you have plantar warts, you should check the soles of your feet for bumpy growths. Sometimes these growths may come with a tiny black dot in the center. You may also have plantar warts if you experience pain when walking or standing up. Because plantar warts are easily confused with other foot conditions like corns or calluses, it’s important you seek professional help for proper treatment.
• Fungus
  The area of the toes is generally warm and damp, unfortunately making it a great area for fungus to grow. If left untreated, the fungal infection can spread, which is why it’s so important to get professional help early on and look into your treatment options.

• Physical Therapy
  Possible conditions that may arise due to injury of the Achilles tendon include tears, ruptures, tendinitis, peritendinitis, tendinosis, tendinopathy, and bursitis. When trying to diagnose if one has issues with their Achilles tendon, a podiatrist will commonly check for any pain, swelling, or discoloration around the heel or lower leg area. Different treatments for issues concerning the Achilles tendon vary, but may include over-the-counter or prescribed pain relievers for intense discomfort, alternating ice and heat therapy, custom-made orthotics, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery. To help prevent injury to the Achilles tendon, it’s recommended to regularly perform stretches involving the muscles of the lower leg.

Podiatrists

• General Podiatry
  Accurate Foot and Diabetic Care and Springfield Podiatry have been in business for over 20 years, and we always focus on what is best for our patients and staff. We keep current on world affairs and rely heavily on research and advice from public health experts. Recently, the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19, has prompted worldwide concern and we have kept close watch on all available information.
• Achilles Tendonitis
  There are many different causes of heel pain, including strains or sprains, tarsal tunnel syndrome, stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, and heel bursitis. One of the most common causes of heel pain for children and teenagers specifically is Sever’s disease. Sever’s disease can develop due to overuse or repetitive microtrauma of the heel bone's growth plates. This condition is often seen among those who are active in sporting activities.
• Ankle Sprain
  Focused on compassionate and personalized care, we specialize in many conditions and procedures including laser therapy, general foot and ankle care, bunions, ankle sprains, toenail fungal treatments, foot surgery, and sports medicine. We also treat a wide range of ankle injuries and perform ligament reconstructions, Achilles tendon repairs, and ankle arthroscopy. Living with chronic foot and ankle pain can be debilitating, and our doctors are here to help with superior, individualized care.
• Bunions Problems
  Reasons that a person may develop a bunion can vary. Some patients may form bunions due to genetic factors, complications with arthritis, or a weak foot structure. General aging can also play a role in the formation of a bunion.

Treat your unique pain and/or be free of embarrassment from wearing open-toe shoes and sandals due to fungal nails.
• Hammertoes
  Hammertoes can be identified by an abnormal bend in the middle joint of the toe. This abnormal bending can lead to added pressure on the toe when wearing shoes. It can also cause pain or discomfort when walking or running. Because hammertoes typically worsen overtime and become increasingly more rigid, it’s recommended that you seek the help of a podiatrist for treatment options if you believe you’re experiencing the symptoms of this deformity.
• Heel Spurs
  Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatment (EPAT), also known as Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method cleared by the FDA and is typically used to treat the pain associated with heel spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis and other foot & ankle conditions.
• Heel Pain
• Foot Pain
• Foot Infections
  Athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis, can be an extremely contagious foot infection. It is commonly contracted in public changing areas and bathrooms, dormitory style living quarters, around locker rooms and public swimming pools, or anywhere your feet often come into contact with other people.
• Ingrown Toenails
  Traditionally, when an ingrown toenail is severe, a procedure known as a matrixectomy would be performed by your foot and ankle specialist. This is a procedure where the area of growth that is becoming ingrown is removed/cut out.
• Foot Neuroma
  Dr. Seigerman has a very nice blend of educating you about your problem (Morton's neuroma in my case), and developing a phased treatment plan beginning with the simplest and most effective approaches, then moving to more complicated and costly! I am still working with her on non-surgical methods to address my concerns. She is not pushy at all and helps to guide your decisions. An approach I really appreciate.
• Plantar Fasciitis
  I visited the West Chester office for plantar fasciitis and a jammed toe. In both instances I was met professionally and cared for in the same manner. They were able to treat my particular issues in one visit, and I have not had any lingering problems.
