  “The plantar fascia is a broad, flat ligament that travels from the base of the heel bone to the ball of the foot,” says podiatrist Dr. James R. Hanna of the New York State Podiatric Medical Association in New York. “Its purpose is to help support the longitudinal arch of the foot. Overstretching of the plantar fascia can cause injury and inflammation, resulting in plantar fasciitis.”
• Medical Weight Loss
  When the body is active and in motion, muscles need glucose for fuel. Glucose is pulled from the circulating blood into the muscles. This can help to decrease the serum glucose level with an effect that can last for hours if not days. Regular exercise can therefore be part of an effective strategy for long-term glycemic control. Regular, moderate exercise can also be useful to promote weight loss and improve cardiovascular health. For the individual living with type 2 diabetes this can help to decrease peripheral insulin resistance, leading to better glycemic control.

• Bunions
  Bunions are due primarily to genetic factors, but can become painful over time due to trauma, ill-fitting shoes and poor foot structure. What happens, is that the bone connected to the big toe starts to drift outward pushing the big toe sideways into the other toes which can also lead to painful hammertoes, corns and calluses.

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Many diabetic patients experience problems with their feet due to poor circulation and loss of sensation. It is important to choose footwear in order to protect the feet from complications. Caring for your feet when you have diabetes is very important for avoiding serious complications. If you are a diabetic, a pair of comfortable supportive shoes designed to prevent calluses, corns, blisters, foot ulcers and other kinds of sores that occur.
• Calluses
  People with hammertoe may have corns or calluses on the top of the middle joint of the toe or on the tip of the toe. They may also feel pain in their toes or feet and have difficulty finding comfortable shoes. Causes of hammertoe include improperly fitting shoes and muscle imbalance.
• Fungus
  Fungal toenails are caused by an organism that grows in and under the nail. The fungus likes to grow in warm, moist places like your shoes. Many patients pick up fungal toenail infections in the gym locker room, from a nail salon, wet shoes or from trauma. Fungus can stay in the nails for many years and can be passed from one person to another. Treatment for fungal toenails includes topical and oral medications, which used together are very effective. If you're tired of looking at those unsightly toenails, please book an appointment with James R. Hanna, DPM
