• Warts
• Arthritis
  There are two types of arthritis: Osteoarthritis (also called "wear and tear" arthritis,) is the most common, typically brought on by the aging of joints. Cartilage breaks down over time, creating painful sensations and difficulty moving and articulating the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most serious form and can be majorly crippling. In the foot and ankle, it is a chronic inflammatory problem affecting the feet and ankles.

• Wound Care
  Rosa G. I been bringing my mom to see Dr. Shupe for couple of years now. He's a wonderful, polite, caring and makes you feel very comfortable and explains everything to you. I like the fact he doesnt go straight for amputation if it can be saved he will save it. In 2016 my mom had a very purplish to almost black looking toe. The general doctor in the hospital was scaring us saying my mom will probably need to have her toe amputated because she osteomyelitis but he was waiting for the podiatrist and then here comes dr shupe to save my moms toe. He assured us that she didnt need amputation that he can save it and he did with some strong antibiotics through a picc line that needed to be put on my moms arm. I would also take her to wound care to see him weekly so he can check on the progress of her toe after a month an a half her toe was looking better. My mom is a diabetic with curved toes which creates alot of issues.He also corrected 4 of her toes to make them more straight and He did a beautiful job. He's the best! I take her to this day to see him. Hes a blessing for people with diabetics with problematic toes.

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Corns tend to be smaller than calluses and are the hard center is surrounded by irritated skin. While corns can be found on the bottom of the foot and ankle where pressure is usually applied, it is more common that you find corns on the tops and sides of your toes and even between your toes. When pressure is applied, corns can cause significant pain and discomfort.

• Calluses
  Calluses, on the other hand, don’t usually cause pain. They usually develop on the soles of your feet, especially under the heels or balls, on your palms, or on your knees. Calluses vary in size and shape and are often larger than corns.
• Fungus
• Lesions
  While most plantar warts are not a major health concern, it is advised you see a doctor to have the warts examined and removed. Some symptoms include small, rough lesions on the base of the foot and ankle, calluses in one spot, and tenderness when walking or standing for long periods of time.

• Achilles Tendonitis
  Martial Arts and Kickboxing: Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, sesamoiditis, and ankle sprains. Proper stretching is vital to injury prevention, specifically, a minimum of 15 minutes before beginning exercise.
• Ankle Instability
  Chronic ankle instability and pain is usually caused by repeated ankle sprains and is described as the gradual giving way of the outside of the ankle. Some symptoms of ankle instability and pain include constant inflammation or swelling, tenderness, and instability in the ankle. After a sprained ankle, the ligaments become stretched and torn. Proper rehabilitation is required to strengthen the muscles around the ankle and rehabilitate the tissues within the ankle that affect your balance. In addition, physical therapy, medications, and bracing can help treat chronic ankle instability. Failure to do so may result in repeated ankle sprains, or possibly surgery.
• Ankle Sprain
  Team Sports: Baseball, basketball, soccer, football, field hockey, and lacrosse often lead to foot and ankle injuries. Artificial surfaces, improper footwear, and inadequate stretching are recipes for disaster.
• Arthritic Foot Care
  Arthritis is an inflammation of the cartilage and lining of the joints. Although it can present itself at any age, arthritis is primarily found in those over 50.
• Bunions Problems
  For the most part, bunions require no medical treatment. However, if you are experiencing one or more of the following, a podiatrist can help alleviate your symptoms.
• Calluses
• Diabetic Foot Care
• Flat Feet
• Fungus Toenails
  Fungal infections in the toe or fingernails can appear as thickened, discolored, or disfigured. While it may seem like the condition is just an aesthetic concern, fungal infections can lead to worsened symptoms and pain. Diabetes, a weakened immune system, and the normal aging process are all causes associated with fungal infections. It is more likely for senior citizens and adults to develop a fungal infection as opposed to children.
• Hammertoes
  Hammertoe is a deformity where one or both joints of the second, third, fourth or fifth toes begin to bend outside of their normal alignment. Pressure can begin to weigh heavy on the toes as you wear shoes which is where pain and other symptoms develop.
• Heel Spurs
  Heel spurs occur in at least 50% of people who have plantar fasciitis. Past treatments for heel spurs, a bony growth that begins on the front of your heel bone and points toward the arch of your foot and ankle, included surgery to remove the growth. Nowadays, surgery is rarely a treatment option and more plans for physical therapy, ice, and pain medications are used to treat heel spurs.
• Heel Pain
• Foot Pain
• Ingrown Toenails
  We have all made the painful mistake of trimming our nails too short at some point in our lives. Sometimes, this can really affect our foot and ankle health by causing ingrown toenails.
• Foot Orthotics
• Plantar Fasciitis
  The soft tissue pain many of us feel in the foot and ankle can be caused by a number of factors, including trauma (such as damage to a tendon from a hit, twist, or pull to the joint) or repetitive motion (such as damage to a tendon from overuse in work, exercise, or activity). It can also be called tendonitis or plantar fasciitis. Eventually, the damaged tissue will limit our ability to move the joint and perform the activities that we need or like to do. If left untreated, joint pain will likely become worse over time. In some instances, this may also lead to the formation of calcification within the tendon, which can further increase pain.
