Services
Bunions | Hammertoes
Report
A bunion is an enlargement of boney growth or swollen tissue typically located at the base joint of the big toe. The condition is caused by the shifting of the bones in the big toe inward, toward the other toes of the foot. The area around the base of the big toe may become inflamed, red, and painful.
Diabetic Foot Care
Report
Diabetes affects millions of people every year. Blood vessels located all over the body are damaged due to diabetes-even the blood vessels of the feet. Neuropathy, or nerve damage, can result from slower blood flow in the legs and feet. In diabetic patients neuropathy is very important to monitor, as diabetics are at risk for developing ulcers.
Foot & Ankle Injuries
Report
Many of our patients present with foot or ankle injuries. These injuries could be the result of simply tripping on the stairs, stepping on a foreign object while barefoot or from playing their favorite sports activity. At Blanken Podiatry Group we treat a wide variety of foot and ankle injuries which can be very painful and disabling.
Ingrown Toenails
Report
An ingrown toenail is caused when a toenail grows sideways into the bed of the nail, causing pain and swelling. The nail can sometimes exacerbate and become infected, creating serious drainage. There are many risk factors that can predispose a person to this common condition. Cutting your nails too short, participating in sports, diabetes, being overweight, or having a fungal infection of the toe can all cause an ingrown toenail.
Toenail Fungus
Report
Toenail fungus is a frustrating and embarrassing condition that is common for many people. It typically starts as a tiny white or yellow growth below the tip of the toenail and spreads deeper as the infection worsens, causing the nail to discolor, thicken, or even deteriorate at the edge. Fungal nails can be identified by thickened or ragged nails that are distorted in shape.
