General Practitioners

• Arthritis
  Rheumatoid arthritis is a major crippling disorder and the most serious form of arthritis. It is a complex, chronic inflammatory group of diseases, often affecting more than a dozen smaller joints during its course. In the foot, it frequently affects both ankles and toes.
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Plantar fasciitis (or heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Our practice can evaluate arch pain, and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called orthoses to help alleviate the pain.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Specialists at Progressive Podiatry understand the importance of seeking heel spur treatments. Left untreated, symptoms are more likely to worsen. Ultrasound is a very effective and painless tool for heel spurs. The ultrasound waves hit a targeted area and are bounced back to a recording device, which produces an image based on a set of transmitted waves.
• Iontophoresis
  A form of electrolysis, called iontophoresis, has been shown to reduce excessive sweating of the feet. However, it is more difficult to administer. In the worst cases of hyperhidrosis, a surgeon can cut the nerve that controls sweating. Recent advances in technology have made this surgery much safer, but may increase sweating in other areas of the body.

Surgeons

• Bunion Surgery
  Bunions are often painful deformities of the foot that require surgery to correct and alleviate pain. Specialists at Progressive Podiatry can help determine if bunion surgery is the most appropriate treatment option. Generally, bunion surgery includes an incision in the top or side of the big toe joint and removal or realignment of soft tissue bone. This is done to relieve pain and restore normal alignment to the joint.
• Joint Replacement
• Bunions
  Bunions are one of the most common foot issues. Bunions are misaligned big toe joints that can become swollen and tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward, and the second joint to angle toward the other toes.
• Ingrown Toenails
  Ingrown toenails can be prevented by trimming toenails straight across. Be careful not to cut toenails in corners or on the sides; this can lead to new ingrown toenails. Podiatrists with Progressive Podiatry also recommend selecting proper shoe style and size in order to prevent ingrown toenails.
• Reconstructive Surgery

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Hard corns are usually located on the top of the toe or on the side of the small toe. Soft corns resemble open sores and develop between the toes as they rub together.
• Calluses
  Calluses have painful nerves and bursal sacs beneath them, causing symptoms ranging from sharp, shooting pain to dull, aching soreness.
• Fungus
  Athlete's Foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a skin disease caused by a fungus that usually occurs between the toes. The fungus attacks the feet because shoes create a warm, dark, and humid environment that encourages fungus growth. Warm, damp areas around swimming pools, showers, and locker rooms are also breeding grounds for fungi.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
• Physical Therapy
  Physical therapy, including tilt-board exercises that focus on strengthening the muscles, restoring range of motion, and increasing your perception of joint position.
• Flatfoot Correction
• Heel Pain
• Ankle Sprain
  Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, which may result in excessive stretching or tearing of one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The severity of the sprain can impact the degree of damage as well as the type and duration of treatment. If not properly treated, ankle sprains may develop into long-term problems.
• Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Podiatrists

• General Podiatry
  Foot pain, ankle pain or lower leg pain, especially in children, may be a result of flat feet and should be evaluated by a doctor at Progressive Podiatry.
• Achilles Tendonitis
  The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the human body and can withstand forces of 1,000 pounds or more, but it is also the most frequently ruptured tendon. Both professional and weekend athletes can suffer from Achilles tendonitis, a common overuse injury.
• Ankle Instability
• Ankle Sprain
  Chronic lateral ankle pain is recurring or chronic pain on the outside part of the ankle that often develops after an injury such as a sprained ankle.
• Bunions Problems
  Bunions are misaligned big toe joints that can become swollen and tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward, and the second joint to angle toward the other toes.
• Calluses
• Diabetic Foot Care
• Flat Feet
• Hammertoes
  Claw toe is normally caused by nerve damage from diseases like diabetes or alcoholism, which can weaken the muscles in your foot, according to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society.
• Heel Spurs
  Bone spurs are a very common foot problem. Spurs in the feet most often occur in the heel and near the toes. Heel spurs are growths of bone on the underside, forepart of the heel bone. Heel spurs occur when the plantar tendon pulls at its attachment to the heel bone. This area of the heel can later calcify to form a spur.
• Heel Pain
• Ingrown Toenails
  Ingrown toenails occur with the corners or sides of the nail dig painfully into the skin. Women are much more likely to have ingrown toenails than men. However, ingrown toenails are caused by several reasons. Progessive Podiatry has identified the following common causes for ingrown toenails...
• Foot Neuroma
• Pediatric Foot Care
  We offer joint replacement surgery as well as state of the art reconstructive surgery for all adult and pediatric foot and ankle problems.
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation.
