Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. Thank you to our hardworking staff and all our patients whose hard work makes our community better every day.

We have seen an increase in people coming in to the office with foot pain because they have been working from home and going barefoot. It’s important to keep your feet protected for all your indoor adventures, or lack thereof, so that something simple like bumping your toes or stepping on something doesn’t turn into a serious foot problem. Ask us how to choose safe and comfortable slippers.

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday. From all of us... Dr. Pinsker, Becky, Madison, Kassie, & Emilee

What causes ingrown toenails? Ingrown toenails occur when the corners or sides of the toenail dig into the skin, often causing infection. They may also be caused by shoe pressure (from shoes that are too tight or short), injury, fungus infection, heredity, or poor foot structure. A common ailment, ingrown toenails can be painful. Ingrown toenails start out hard, swollen, and tender. Left untreated, they may become sore, red, and infected and the skin may start to grow over the ingrown toenail. Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed if an infection is present. In severe cases, if an acute infection occurs, surgical removal of part of the ingrown toenail may be needed

A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN LOOKING FOR A WAY TO PAMPER YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER? TRY GIVING A FOOT MASSAGE! Foot rubs not only feel good, but they’re also a great way to release tension, boost circulation, and refresh skin after a long day on your feet. Take a few minutes to massage feet at the end of the day. Use an emollient-enriched lotion and take care of moisturizing at the same time! Be careful not to leave any excess lotion in between... toes, as it can promote the development of athlete’s foot or a fungal infection. See more
