Foot fractures are common, and residents of Nanuet, Jamaica, and Bronx, New York, rely on Jason Cohen, DPM, Sandeep Garcha, DPM, and the team at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, for top-quality treatment. If you’re worried that you might have fractured a bone, call the office today to set up a diagnostic exam, or use the online scheduling tool to find a time that works for you. “Fracture” is the word used for a broken bone. Considering how many bones make up the human foot and the incredible stress placed on your feet every day, it’s not surprising that around one in 10 fractures are in the feet. Stress fractures are fractures that develop over time due to repeated stress on your feet. They’re common in soldiers, athletes, and dancers. Some fractures’ symptoms are quite apparent, especially when they result from a traumatic injury. However, other fractures aren’t as easy to detect. If you notice any of these changes, call the office right away to schedule a diagnostic assessment. When left untreated, foot fractures can heal incorrectly, leading to even more foot pain and mobility problems down the road. Your podiatrist will order an X-ray or other imaging procedure to determine if you have a fracture. If one or more breaks are found, your podiatrist will talk to you about all the available treatments before deciding which is best for you. If the ends of the broken bone are still aligned, a cast or brace can hold your foot in place as your body repairs the break. This can also be a good approach when a bone is cracked or has a minor fracture. If the bones aren’t aligned, your podiatrist can sometimes manually move the pieces to restore their alignment. This can require a local anesthetic to ensure that you remain comfortable throughout the process. Don’t delay coming in for a diagnostic exam. The team at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, can quickly determine if you’ve suffered a fracture and provide treatment to restore your foot’s function. Scheduling can easily be completed online or over the phone.

Jason Cohen, DPM, and Sandeep Garcha, DPM, of Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, make sure that your heel pain isn’t due to another cause. They provide timely treatment to relieve your symptoms. The practice has six offices in New York City’s Bronx borough, one in Jamaica, Queens, and another in Nanuet, New York. Call the office nearest you today to schedule a consultation or book an appointment online. Plantar fasciitis affects the tough connective tissue (the plantar fascia, a ligament) that runs along the bottom of your foot. It’s a common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia starts at your heel bone, runs under and supports your arch, and extends to your toes. Putting too much stress on your plantar fascia irritates and inflames the ligament. Without treatment, plantar fasciitis can lead to a permanent weakening of the plantar fascia. Plantar fasciitis causes intense pain in the bottom of your heel. There might be some swelling and redness too. The pain tends to get worse after you’ve been off your feet for a while. That’s why many people find that it’s particularly bad when they get out of bed in the morning. Once you start moving around, the pain usually eases off but returns if you continue to walk. The pain can become so severe that it makes walking difficult. But resting the foot usually relieves your symptoms. Plantar fasciitis develops when there’s too much strain on your plantar fascia. This could be due to: Frequently walking on hard surfaces can also increase your risk of developing plantar fasciitis. When you first develop symptoms of plantar fasciitis, you should try to rest the foot and avoid anything that makes your pain worse. Applying ice packs can help by reducing inflammation. It’s also important to check your shoes, making sure that they provide good arch support and cushion your feet effectively. Your Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, provider can show you exercises and stretches that reduce inflammation and strengthen your foot and lower leg muscles. They also fit splints you wear at night to stretch your calf and arch while you sleep. Orthotics are often highly effective in relieving plantar fasciitis symptoms. These specially designed shoe inserts offer the best support to your arches to reduce the stress on your plantar fascia. Radiofrequency ablation and radial shockwave therapy can help if other treatments aren’t working.

Jason Cohen, DPM, and Sandeep Garcha, DPM, of Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, offer prompt assessment and treatment of ingrown toenails. The practice has six offices in New York City’s Bronx borough, one in Jamaica, Queens, and another in Nanuet, New York. Call the office nearest you today to schedule a consultation or book an appointment online. An ingrown toenail pushes painfully into the skin next to your nail as it grows. Ingrown toenails are common, although many people have them and don’t suffer more than minor discomfort for years. Eventually, the growth into your toe can become more troublesome, causing pain, swelling, and tenderness. Ingrown toenails are also more likely to get infected. If you have an infection in your toe, it can spread to the bones in your foot, causing a severe problem. Your big toes are the ones most likely to have ingrown toenails, although you can develop this problem on any of your nails. An ingrown toenail usually develops when you cut your toenails incorrectly and/or wear tight-fitting shoes. Cutting your toenails so that they’re below the level of your toe or shaping them at the sides as you might your fingernails are the most common causes. Short or shaped nails are more likely to grow off course and into your skin. Wearing tight shoes increases the pressure on your toes and encourages the toenail to grow into your skin. By avoiding tight shoes and cutting your nails correctly, you can prevent ingrown toenails. If you have an ingrown toenail, don’t be tempted to cut the ingrown part out yourself. Doing so is likely to make the problem worse by encouraging deeper penetration into the toe. Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, offers fast and effective treatment for ingrown toenails. To treat your ingrown toenail, your provider at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, might need to lift and separate the affected nail. They then guide the nail back in the right direction to prevent the new growth from going into your skin. If your ingrown toenail is more severe, your provider might need to remove the ingrown part of the nail. They can use special chemicals or cut the nail out under local anesthetic. If your ingrown toenail has an infection, you might need to take antibiotics or use an antibiotic cream. This is especially important if you have diabetes, which increases your risk of developing serious foot problems.

Jason Cohen, DPM, and Sandeep Garcha, DPM, of Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, determine what kind of fungus you have and provide effective treatments to kill the infection. The practice has six offices in New York City’s Bronx borough, one in Jamaica, Queens, and another in Nanuet. Call the office nearest you today to schedule a consultation or book an appointment online. Toenail fungus is an infection of your toenail. As the fungus spreads, your nail becomes increasingly yellow, thick, and crumbly. Toenail fungus can sometimes be painful and might make the nail separate if left untreated. Your feet are particularly at risk of developing a fungal infection because of the warmth, moistness, and darkness in your shoes and socks. This environment is ideal for toenail fungus and other infections, like athlete’s foot, to grow in. There are several different strains of toenail fungus, but the most common is onychomycosis. You’re most likely to get infected with toenail fungus in places like public swimming pools and locker rooms, where people frequently walk barefoot. Toenail fungus isn’t serious as long as you’re in good health. The main issue in otherwise healthy patients is that the fungus can make your toenails look unattractive. If this is the case, your provider at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, provides treatments that can improve the appearance of your toenails. People with diabetes or circulation disorders like chronic venous insufficiency face serious health risks if they contract a toenail fungus. Diseases like these that affect the circulation in your feet and ankles increase your chances of getting a bacterial infection if you have toenail fungus. To treat your toenail fungus effectively, your provider at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, needs to identify the strain of fungus. They do this by taking samples of your infected nail for lab analysis. Once your test results are back, your provider can prescribe the appropriate treatment. Choices available at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, for treating toenail fungus include: These treatments cure the infection, but it can take some time for a new, healthy nail to grow. To prevent new toenail fungus infections, avoid going barefoot in high-risk places like changing rooms and keep your feet clean and dry.

Jason Cohen, DPM, Sandeep Garcha, DPM, and their team at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, offer top-quality care for bunions and other foot deformities. They have offices in Nanuet, Jamaica, and Bronx, New York. Schedule an appointment today using the easy online booking tool or calling the office. Bunions are common foot deformities caused by the joint at the base of the big toe being pushed out of alignment. This forces the big toe to move inward, pushing against the smaller toes and sometimes forcing them out of alignment as well.  While many bunions don’t require treatment, some people find them painful and unsightly. Larger bunions can cause irritation on the inner edge of your foot as the skin and bones press against your shoes. It’s essential that you come in for a diagnostic exam if you experience ongoing toe or foot pain, loss of movement in the toe or foot, or trouble finding shoes that will fit over a bunion. The most common bunion symptom is a bony protrusion on the inner side of the foot at the base of the big toe. While a small bump in this area is common, more prominent bulges usually indicate a bunion. You can have a genetic predisposition to bunions. They can also develop because of foot stress or injury. Researchers disagree on whether wearing tight, narrow shoes causes bunions. But it does appear that your choice of footwear can contribute to the condition. The first step you can take to improve bunions is to choose comfortable shoes that provide plenty of room for your toes. Adding padding to shoes to reduce friction between the shoe and the bunion can also help. Self-care techniques like icing the area can relieve minor bunion discomfort. Topical creams can also relieve pain, as can lidocaine patches and cortisone injections. It’ll probably take some trial and error to find the right treatment for your specific needs The team at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, offers customized treatment for bunions and will explain the choices available to you. You’ll receive all the details needed to make an informed decision about your care.

But effective ways of treating conditions like plantar fasciitis and other common causes of heel pain are available. Jason Cohen, DPM, and Sandeep Garcha, DPM, of Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, can quickly diagnose your heel pain and offer the right treatment for your condition. The practice has six offices in New York City’s Bronx borough, one in Jamaica, Queens, and another in Nanuet, New York. Call the office nearest you today to schedule a consultation or book an appointment online. Plantar fasciitis is the most likely cause of heel pain. This condition arises when the tough band of tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes becomes inflamed. It causes intense pain in the bottom of your heel that often eases off when you start moving. The pain returns if you continue walking and can be so severe that it’s hard to function normally. Plantar fasciitis affects the bottom of your heel, while Achilles injuries cause pain in the back of your heel. Heel pain can be mild to become so severe that it’s hard to walk. Your risk of developing heel pain is higher if you’re overweight or obese, wear unsupportive footwear or high heels, or do a lot of running. To diagnose your heel pain, your provider at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, does a thorough exam. They also discuss your symptoms and medical history. In some cases, your symptoms clearly indicate the cause of your heel pain. To confirm the diagnosis, your provider might need to see X-rays, an MRI, or a CT scan of your foot. These diagnostic imaging tests also confirm the extent of any damage and show up additional problems like bone spurs. Resting the foot, using ice packs to reduce inflammation, and taking pain-relief medication can help reduce your heel pain. If these treatments don’t help or your heel pain is particularly severe, your provider at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, can offer other treatments. Orthotics (shaped insoles that you wear in your shoes) are beneficial, especially with conditions like plantar fasciitis. You might need to wear strapping or a brace on your ankle if you’ve damaged your Achilles tendon or stop using the foot altogether for a while. The latter will require that you use crutches. Physical therapy and massage can also help. In some cases, steroid injections can be helpful for conditions that aren’t responding to other treatments.

Jason Cohen, DPM, and Sandeep Garcha, DPM, of Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, offer expert diagnosis and prompt treatment of your neuroma. The treatment relieves pain and reverses nerve damage. The practice has six offices in New York City’s Bronx borough, one in Jamaica, Queens, and another in Nanuet. Call the office nearest you today to schedule a consultation or book an appointment online. A neuroma is thickened nerve tissue between your toes. The most common kind is Morton’s neuroma, which develops between your third and fourth toes. If you have a neuroma, you can experience symptoms like: It might feel as though there’s something stuck between your toes, but when you look, there’s nothing visible. The pain usually gets worse when you walk. Taking your shoes off to rub the painful area can help and is a common sign of a neuroma. Without treatment, neuromas can lead to permanent nerve damage. A neuroma develops in response to irritation or pressure on the nerve, making it swell and thicken. The underlying cause could be: Structural abnormalities in your feet can cause imbalances that put pressure on the toes and make you more likely to have a neuroma. Your provider at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, begins your treatment using conservative approaches to reduce pain and shrink the neuroma. These treatments include: Placing a carefully shaped, supportive pad under the ball of your foot can relieve pressure on the nerves in your toes. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) relieve neuroma pain and reduce nerve inflammation. Orthotics are specially shaped shoe inserts that support your foot. The right orthotics can correct the alignment of your foot so that there’s no excessive pressure on the toe nerves. If your symptoms don’t improve using padding, medications, and orthotics, your Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, provider can inject a powerful steroid (cortisone) into the neuroma. Steroid injections provide long-lasting relief from neuroma pain. Most patients with a neuroma find one or more of these treatments effective in treating neuroma symptoms. They can even reverse the damage done to the nerve by promoting natural healing. For neuromas that don’t respond, your provider can offer minimally invasive radiofrequency (RF) ablation to stop the toe nerves from sending pain messages to your brain.

The practice has offices in Nanuet, Jamaica, and Bronx, New York. Call today to set up an initial visit, or try the easy online scheduling tool. Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high levels of blood glucose (sugar). This disease takes an enormous toll on your body, including most of your organs and systems. Circulation problems are common among diabetics. Without proper blood flow, it’s difficult for tissues to get the nourishment they need to thrive. Diabetes also slows or cripples the healing process, making it hard for your body to fight off infection and repair damaged tissue. Most people routinely suffer minor cuts or sores on their feet, and their immune systems take care of these minor injuries with ease. However, people with diabetes often experience a rapid worsening of even minor foot injuries, even something as simple as torn cuticles or splinters in the soles of their feet. Diabetic foot care is a partnership with a foot health professional that helps ensure your feet stay as healthy as possible. Learning to care for your feet at home is a primary benefit of working with a podiatrist. Diabetics must thoroughly inspect their feet every day to ensure that no damage has been done to the skin on the soles of their feet or between their toes. Diabetes can damage your nerves and prevent you from feeling minor injuries, so it’s critical that you visually check for damage every day. You should also carefully clean your feet daily and use moisturizer to hydrate your skin. Wearing absorbent socks and regularly changing them can keep your feet dry, which also helps prevent sores and tissue damage. Your podiatrist checks your feet for signs of damage. If you develop a sore or another opening in the skin, professional care can treat the problem before a severe infection sets in. It’s important to understand that if you have diabetes, even minor injuries and sores can quickly develop into serious problems. With prompt and aggressive treatment, you can avoid an infection that could otherwise lead to the amputation of the affected foot. It’s a good idea to meet with a podiatrist immediately after being diagnosed with diabetes. You should also come in if you find a sore or cut on your foot. If you see any of these changes, you should visit the podiatrist immediately for diabetic foot care: Your podiatrist is an invaluable part of your diabetic care team. As your diabetes either worsens or improves, your podiatrist will change your foot care to meet your changing needs.

Most people have an arch in the middle of their feet, which is easily visible when standing. People with flat feet have no arch. There's little or no space between the bottom of their feet and the floor when they stand. All babies are born with flat feet. Their arches usually develop when they are around 6 months old. Some babies never develop arches and will have flat feet for the rest of their lives. In other cases, flat feet develop gradually as an adult. If you can see an arch in your foot when sitting, but the foot flattens when you stand, you have what’s called flexible flat feet, the most common kind. People with rigid flat feet never show an arch, whether they are sitting or standing. Plantar fasciitis causes intense pain in the bottom of your heel. There might be some swelling and redness too. The pain tends to get worse after you’ve been off your feet for a while. That’s why many people find that it’s particularly bad when they get out of bed in the morning. Once you start moving around, the pain usually eases off but returns if you continue to walk. The pain can become so severe that it makes walking difficult. But resting the foot usually relieves your symptoms. Not everyone with flat feet requires treatment, but it’s essential to know when to seek care. If you or a loved one experiences any of the following symptoms, a podiatrist can help: Your podiatrist can take a look at these symptoms and determine if your bone structure is to blame. Over-the-counter pain medication can relieve mild to moderate foot pain, but finding a long-term solution is essential. Icing and resting your feet can reduce inflammation and discomfort if you only experience occasional symptoms. Physical therapy can help by increasing the strength and flexibility of your feet. A customized physical therapy plan ensures that your condition improves without placing too much strain on your feet. Supportive devices like braces or custom orthotics (shoe inserts) can help by changing the distribution of your weight and pressure on your feet. Some people find that custom-made shoes ease discomfort. If you’re worried about foot pain or other symptoms of flat feet, or you want to have your child’s feet looked at by a professional podiatrist, call the office today to set up a visit. Online booking is also available and is both fast and easy.

However, they can cause problems for some people, and you could be passing on the infection. Jason Cohen, DPM, and Sandeep Garcha, DPM, of Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, offer expert treatments for troublesome warts on your feet. The practice has six offices in New York City’s Bronx borough, one in Jamaica, Queens, and another in Nanuet, New York. Warts you’re most likely to get on your feet are plantar warts or verrucas. These small warts look like calluses (hard patches of skin) with a black dot at their center. They most often develop on the soles of your feet. While most warts aren’t painful, they can be uncomfortable if they’re on a sensitive part of your foot or somewhere that bears weight when you walk. Warts can also affect the nerves in your feet, causing you to change the way you walk to avoid putting your weight on the warts. Changing how you walk can strain other parts of your body, including your ankles, knees, hips, and even your back, resulting in chronic pain. Plantar warts develop when you’re infected with certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Different strains of HPV are responsible for warts in other areas of the body. HPV is a common infection. You can have it without knowing because your immune system wipes the infection out before you see any warts. To avoid getting warts, you need to prevent HPV infection. Don’t touch your warts or anyone else’s, and always cover your feet if you’re in a public changing room or other areas where people often go barefoot. Wash and dry your feet and change your socks and shoes daily. Try to keep your feet dry as far as possible to make it harder for the HPV virus to get into your skin. Children are particularly likely to develop plantar warts. If you’re a parent, protect your child’s feet and check them regularly for signs of warts. Over-the-counter treatments are available for plantar warts, which might be helpful if the warts aren’t too large or deep. However, you can get more effective treatments at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP,. Choices for treating warts include: Most warts respond well to these noninvasive treatments. If your warts don’t clear up, your provider at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, can remove them under a local anesthetic, but this is rarely necessary.

If you suffer a trauma that doesn’t require hospital treatment, Jason Cohen, DPM, and Sandeep Garcha, DPM, of Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, can help. They provide urgent appointments to assess and treat your trauma and promote your recovery. The practice has six offices in New York City’s Bronx borough, one in Jamaica, Queens, and another in Nanuet. Several kinds of trauma can affect your feet and ankles: Some acute fractures can be clean breaks in the bones, called simple fractures. Others involve several breaks (comminuted fractures) or breaks where you can see the bone (compound fractures). Feet are also likely to suffer crush injuries where the bones and soft tissues suffer widespread damage. Dislocations are a common problem in ankles. They happen when the bones that make up the joint separate under stress, causing a painful misalignment. Sprains (injuries to ligaments) and strains (injuries to tendons) are also common ankle problems. While some sprains and strains only involve a mild stretching of the tissues, others result in severe tears or complete ruptures. You could also experience traumas like partial amputation, deep cuts, puncture wounds, burns, and scalds. If you injure your foot or ankle, follow basic first aid steps for the injury. For example, a sprain or strain needs rest, ice packs, and a support bandage. You should also lie down and raise your leg higher than your head whenever possible. Burns and scalds need to be kept wet, and if you’re bleeding, try to stop the blood flow. Depending on how severe your trauma is, you might need to go to a hospital emergency room or get an urgent appointment at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP. The treatment you need for your foot or ankle trauma depends on the nature of your injury and how bad it is. Wounds need careful cleaning to make sure there are no bacteria or foreign objects in them. This is especially true of puncture wounds, common in the feet from stepping on nails and other sharp objects. Bacteria trapped in a puncture wound can lead to tetanus, so you should also check if you need a booster shot to protect yourself. Wounds often need stitching as well. Your provider at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, can set a simple fracture or manually manipulate any slightly misaligned bones. They use diagnostic imaging to make sure the bones are perfectly positioned before applying a cast. A sprain or strain might need immobilizing in a brace or splint, and you should follow your provider’s advice on limiting your activities while the injury heals. Physical therapy can also be invaluable in recovering from foot and ankle trauma. Call Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, today or book an appointment online for expert advice and prompt treatment when you suffer a foot or ankle trauma.

Achilles tendonitis is common, but relief is available through the care of Jason Cohen, DPM, Sandeep Garcha, DPM, and their team at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP. They have offices in Nanuet, Jamaica, and Bronx, New York. If you’re ready to move one step closer to relief, call the office today or book a visit using the easy online scheduling tool. Tendonitis is the term used to describe inflammation of a tendon. Tendons are bands of tough connective tissues that bind muscles to bones. Your Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. This tendon allows you to walk, run, and jump and is critical for normal movement. Achilles tendonitis is an overuse injury that creates swelling in the tendon. When the swelling or tendon damage is in the middle portion of the Achilles tendon, it’s called non-insertional. When the damage is in the lower part of the tendon, it’s called insertional. Achilles tendonitis is caused by repeated stress on or intense strain of your Achilles tendon. These injuries often happen when you push your body past its limits during athletic training or play, or during fitness pursuits. Your Achilles tendon weakens with age. People in middle age and beyond are particularly susceptible to these injuries. Other things that increase your risk of developing Achilles tendonitis include: Being overweight or obese also places extra stress on your feet and ankles. Making lifestyle changes that help you reach and maintain a healthy weight can go a long way toward improving Achilles tendonitis and many other foot problems. Medications can be used to treat pain and discomfort. However, your podiatrist will first work at providing you with lasting relief without using drugs. Targeted exercises can promote healing and strengthen your Achilles tendon and the surrounding tissues. Orthotic devices worn in your shoes can also help relieve strain on the tendon. Don’t wait to seek treatment for any significant foot or ankle pain. Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, can discover the source of your discomfort and provide customized treatment. That process begins today with a quick phone call. You can also go to the online booking page to find a time that fits your schedule.

It isn’t a single condition but more than 100 diseases, many of which can develop in the feet and ankles. When you consider the role your feet and ankles play in your daily life, it comes as no surprise that arthritis is common. Each of your feet has more than 30 joints, which is why humans enjoy such a wide range of motion. Osteoarthritis is the most common arthritis in feet and ankles. Also called degenerative arthritis, osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage in a joint wears down over time. Rheumatoid arthritis is also common in the feet and ankles. RA, as it’s often called, is an autoimmune disease in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your joints. Joint pain is the most common arthritis symptom, but not everyone experiences the same kind or level of discomfort. Some people experience mild symptoms in the early stages of arthritis. Others find it difficult to move without significant pain. Over-the-counter and prescription medications can often relieve the pain of arthritis. However, finding lasting relief without using medicine is a top priority because long-term reliance on drugs comes with a risk of side effects. Lifestyle changes will go a long way toward reducing arthritis pain and improving your joint health. Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is important, as is changing your activities to avoid unnecessary strain on your feet and ankles. Physical therapy can help by strengthening the muscles that stabilize and support your feet and ankles. This highly customized approach is shaped around your specific needs and abilities. Some people benefit from using assistive devices to improve their mobility. Braces can provide additional foot and ankle support and reduce the pressure on inflamed joints. Orthotics are worn inside your shoes, changing the pressure and distribution of your weight on your feet and ankles. Don’t let arthritis in your feet or ankles change your daily routine or reduce your activity level. Treatment can help. You begin the healing process today by calling Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, or booking a visit using the online scheduling page.

Fungal infections show up in many parts of your body, including your feet. Tinea pedis, commonly called athlete’s foot, is a common fungal infection that spreads easily. Most cases of athlete’s foot aren’t serious and won’t lead to other health problems. But if you suffer from a condition that weakens your immune system or you’re diabetic, athlete’s foot should be treated by a podiatrist to avoid further health problems. The same organism that causes foot fungus can also cause toenail fungus, which requires a different treatment. The symptoms of a foot fungus are obvious, and knowing what to look for can help you decide when to seek treatment. If you see any of the following changes, call Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, right away to prevent the fungal infection from spreading or getting worse: Some people only experience a single case of foot fungus, while others struggle with repeated fungal infections. You can take steps to prevent foot fungus. This is especially helpful for people who experience repeated infections.

It can be both painful and unsightly. But help is available through the care provided by Jason Cohen, DPM, Sandeep Garcha, DPM, and their team at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP. They have offices in Nanuet, Jamaica, and Bronx, New York. If you have concerns about foot pain or changes in the shape of your feet, contact the office nearest today. Make an appointment over the phone or use the easy online booking tool. Each of your toes has three joints. Hammer toe, a common foot deformity, is an abnormal bend in the toe’s middle joint. This condition can develop in the second, third, and fourth toes. When an abnormal bend develops in the joint closest to the end of your toe, the condition is called a mallet toe. The first sign of hammer toe or mallet toe is a visible change in the shape of your toes, with the affected joints rising above their normal alignment. Many people with these deformities find it challenging to feel good about the appearance of their feet. While most hammer toe and mallet toe cases won’t lead to severe foot pain, you could experience pain when wearing some kinds of shoes. Footwear that is tight around the toes can increase friction both on top of and between toes.  People with hammer toe usually can’t straighten the affected toe and can eventually experience problems walking normally. Treatments can help, especially when you seek care in the early stages of these common toe deformities. Many things can cause changes in the joints of your toes. Some of the known causes include: You can reduce your risk of developing hammer toe and mallet toe by wearing shoes that support your feet, leaving plenty of room for normal toe movement. If you’re unsure which shoes are best, your podiatrist can advise you on styles that won’t stress or strain your feet. Changing footwear is a great way to prevent a hammertoe from developing or getting worse. Some people benefit from using custom orthotics (shoe inserts) or padding in their shoes. Exercise can stretch and strengthen the muscles in your toes. This not only corrects minor joint misalignment but also reduces discomfort. Contact the office nearest you right away if you notice that your toes have changed shape or you suffer lingering foot pain. You can schedule an exam online at any time or by phone during regular business hours.

Jason Cohen, DPM, and Sandeep Garcha, DPM, of Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, offer fast diagnosis and assessment of your tendinitis. This is followed by effective treatment to get you mobile as soon as possible. The practice has six offices in New York City’s Bronx borough, one in Jamaica, Queens, and another in Nanuet. Tendinitis, also known as tendonitis, is the inflammation of one or more tendons. These strong, stretchy connective tissues attach your muscles to your bones and are present in all your joints. Achilles tendonitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which joins your calf muscle to your heel bone. It’s a large tendon that you can feel and see at the back of your ankle. Your Achilles tendon allows you to lift your foot when you walk, run, or jump. While the Achilles tendon is very tough and able to withstand significant force, it’s also the one that’s most likely to develop tendinitis. Tendinitis in the lower leg causes mild aching or pain in the calf following physical activity. The pain tends to get worse over time. Other symptoms of tendinitis include: These symptoms are often worse when you get out of bed in the morning. Acute tendinitis usually results from an injury, for example, running fast and pushing yourself a little too hard. This stretches the tendon beyond its ability to spring back and can tear the fibers. Chronic tendinitis might develop if you do repetitive activities that put the tendon under stress, resulting in microtears and inflammation. You can get tendinitis if you train too hard or go too far beyond your current fitness level. Not warming up or properly stretching before you exercise can also lead to tendinitis. This is why it’s essential to gradually build up your fitness and warm up correctly to increase your tendon strength and flexibility. Untreated tendinitis can lead to a chronic condition called tendinosis, where the tendon starts to break down. Your provider at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry, LLP, is likely to begin your treatment for tendinitis with conservative measures. These treatments work to reduce stress on the injured tendon. As well as treating the injury, you need to stop doing all activities that make the problem worse, like high-impact exercise. If these treatments aren’t relieving your tendinitis symptoms, you might benefit from cortisone injections into the tendon. Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory that usually has long-lasting effects but isn’t suitable for frequent use. Radial shockwave therapy is another treatment for severe tendinitis.

Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Management ### What does Plantar Fasciitis feel like? ### What causes Plantar Fasciitis? ### Treatment & Prevention Plantar fasciitis is a foot condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, the band of tissue connecting the toes to the heels. It often starts as mild heel pain that is ignored until it becomes severe. The condition develops gradually and can be caused by standing on hard surfaces for prolonged periods, wearing ill-fitting shoes, and overusing the feet during running and jumping activities. Symptoms include heel pain that is worse in the morning and improves after walking a few steps. To prevent the condition, it is important to warm up properly before exercising, maintain a healthy weight, and wear properly fitting shoes. If you experience heel pain, it is recommended to consult a podiatrist for diagnosis and treatment. Plantar fasciitis is a prevalent foot issue that is frequently caused by a strain injury. If you are going through heel pain or symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis, we recommend reaching out to Dr. Cohen and Dr. Garcha at Cohen & Garcha Podiatry. Our physicians will provide the necessary treatment to alleviate your pain and help you maintain mobility. Plantar fasciitis can manifest differently in individuals, and can occur suddenly or gradually, but the pain is often described as follows: ● Aching or burning sensation that extends throughout the bottom of the foot. ● Stiffness and pain, especially when taking the first steps in the morning or after sitting or lying down. ● Pain that may become worse throughout the day, especially after standing or walking for long periods. If you are experiencing a stabbing pain above your heel or at the back of your ankle, it is likely that it is an injury or Achilles tendonitis. There are several risk factors that may increase the likelihood of developing plantar fasciitis. These include: The condition is most prevalent among adults between the ages of 40 and 60 and is also more common in people who are obese, as the added weight can put extra stress on the plantar fascia. There are several ways to manage and treat plantar fasciitis and its associated pain. To prevent the condition, it is important to take good care of your feet by wearing shoes that have good arch support and heel cushioning, and maintaining a healthy weight. If you are a runner, it can be helpful to alternate running with other sports that do not cause heel pain. Treatment options include physical therapy, which is a crucial component in the recovery process. It is recommended to consult with your podiatrist to determine the best course of treatment for you. If you have any questions, you can reach out to us at one of our offices located in the Bronx, Queens, or Rockland County for the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot care needs. At [**Cohen & Garcha Podiatry**](/), we understand the profound impact of foot, lower limb, and ankle health on your overall well-being.

Heel pain can stem from various causes, ranging from overuse to underlying medical conditions, and can manifest in different ways, from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing sensation. Understanding the root cause is crucial for effectively alleviating the discomfort and preventing its recurrence. Plantar fasciitis, the most common cause of heel pain, is characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. Overuse, particularly in activities that involve repetitive impact, can strain the plantar fascia, leading to microtears and subsequent inflammation. Other contributing factors include: **Footwear:** Improper footwear, such as shoes with high heels or insufficient arch support, can put excessive strain on the plantar fascia. **Structural abnormalities:** Conditions like flat feet or excessive pronation can alter foot mechanics and increase the risk of heel pain. **Age-related changes:** As we age, the plantar fascia naturally weakens and becomes more prone to inflammation. While heel pain can be debilitating, there are various strategies to alleviate it and regain your foot comfort. **Routine Stretching:** Regular stretching of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon can help lengthen and strengthen these tissues, reducing the strain on the plantar fascia. **Activity modification:** Minimize activities that aggravate heel pain, such as running or high-impact sports. Focus on low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling to maintain overall fitness while protecting your heels. **Footwear modification:** Choose supportive shoes with good arch support and a low heel height. Avoid wearing high heels for extended periods, as they can put excessive stress on the plantar fascia. **Ice and heat therapy:** Applying ice packs to the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time can help reduce inflammation. Heat therapy, such as warm baths or heating pads, can also be beneficial for relaxation and pain relief. In some cases, heel pain may stem from underlying medical conditions, such as arthritis or nerve entrapment. Consulting a podiatrist can help identify the specific cause of your heel pain and recommend appropriate treatment options. **Podiatrist evaluation:** Your podiatrist will conduct a thorough examination of your foot, assessing your gait, posture, and any underlying medical conditions that may be contributing to your heel pain. **Diagnostic imaging:** In some cases, diagnostic imaging tests, such as X-rays or ultrasounds, may be recommended to rule out any structural abnormalities or joint dysfunction. **Tailored treatment plan:** Based on the diagnosis, your podiatrist will develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include: **Custom orthotics:** Custom-made orthotics can provide arch support, realign the foot, and reduce strain on the plantar fascia. **Physical therapy:** Physical therapy exercises can help strengthen the muscles of the foot and leg, improving overall foot function and reducing the risk of future heel pain episodes. **Shoe modifications:** Your podiatrist may recommend specific footwear modifications, such as heel lifts or arch supports, to further alleviate your heel pain. **Medications:** In some cases, over-the-counter or prescription pain medications may be prescribed to manage pain symptoms. All too often, we take our feet for granted, failing to acknowledge their crucial role in supporting our daily activities. By adopting a foot-friendly lifestyle, we can proactively reduce the risk of heel pain and maintain overall foot health: **Proper footwear selection:** Choose shoes that fit well, provide support, and are appropriate for your foot type and activity level. **Regular foot care:** Keep your feet clean and dry, and inspect them regularly for any signs of injury or infection. **Proper foot posture:** Maintain good posture throughout the day, avoiding excessive slouching or prolonged standing on hard surfaces. **Footwear rotation:** Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes every day; allowing your shoes to dry out fully between wears can help prevent fungal infections. **Stretching and strengthening exercises:** Regular stretching and strengthening exercises can help maintain foot flexibility, strength, and overall foot health. **Weight management:** Maintaining a healthy weight can significantly reduce the stress placed on the feet and lower risk of foot problems. Heel pain, though common, can be effectively managed with the right approach. By understanding the causes, seeking appropriate treatment, and adopting preventive measures, you can restore comfort and support to your feet, allowing you to enjoy your daily activities without the burden of heel pain. As your podiatrists, we’re here to guide you through the process of heel pain management, ensuring that you receive personalized care tailored to your specific needs. Remember, early diagnosis and intervention are key to preventing heel pain from becoming a chronic issue. At [**Cohen & Garcha Podiatry**](/), we understand the profound impact of foot, lower limb, and ankle health on your overall well-being. We are committed to providing personalized advice, diagnostics, and expert podiatric care to help you achieve optimal foot health.

A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe joint, and it can become red, swollen, and painful. Bunions often make it difficult to find comfortable shoes, as they can cause friction and pressure. Bunions, medically known as hallux valgus, are bony bumps that form on the joint at the base of the big toe. This condition develops when the big toe leans toward the second toe, causing the joint to protrude. There are various factors that can cause bunions. Genetics can play a role, as some people are more prone to developing bunions due to inherited foot structure. Wearing tight shoes that squeeze the toes and push them together can also cause bunions. Additionally, foot injuries, arthritis, and nerve problems can contribute to bunion formation. **● Visible Bump:** A noticeable bump on the joint at the base of the big toe. **● Pain and Discomfort:** The affected area may become red, swollen, and tender, causing pain during movement or when wearing certain shoes. **● Limited Toe Movement:** Bunions can restrict the normal range of motion of the big toe. Treatment options for bunions vary depending on the severity of the condition. Mild bunions may be managed by simply wearing shoes with a wider toe box and padding the bunion. Over-the-counter pain medications, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, can also help alleviate pain. More severe bunions may require medical intervention. Your podiatrist may recommend custom shoe inserts, or orthotics, that redistribute pressure on the foot and help correct the underlying foot structure that causes bunions. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the position of the big toe and remove the bony bump. Preventing bunions is possible by taking good care of your feet. Choose shoes that fit well and have a wide toe box to give your toes plenty of room to move. Avoid wearing high heels or shoes that are too tight, as they can compress the toes and contribute to bunion formation. Strengthening the foot muscles can also help prevent bunions by providing better support for the foot structure. Bunions can be painful and limit your mobility. If you're experiencing discomfort in your feet, it's important to see a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Your podiatrist can provide you with customized solutions to help manage the pain and prevent bunions from worsening. With proper care and attention, you can enjoy a pain-free, active lifestyle.

They play a pivotal role in your overall quality of life, influencing your mobility, posture, energy levels, emotional well-being, social activities, and even your overall long-term health. Healthy feet are the key to navigating the world with ease and confidence. When your feet are free from pain and discomfort, they enable you to move freely, explore new places, and pursue your passions without hindrance. Conversely, foot problems like plantar fasciitis, bunions, or ill-fitting footwear can significantly restrict your mobility and independence. Your feet serve as the foundation of your entire body, influencing your posture from the ground up. Issues like flat feet or misaligned toes can disrupt the natural gait and alignment of your spine, leading to back pain, neck strain, and an overall sense of discomfort. By prioritizing foot health, you can establish a solid foundation for proper posture and overall body alignment. Believe it or not, your feet play a surprising role in your energy levels and productivity. When your feet are fatigued and achy, they can drain your energy and make it difficult to focus. Conversely, taking care of your feet can help you maintain your energy throughout the day, boosting your productivity and overall well-being. Foot pain and discomfort can have a significant impact on your emotional well-being. Chronic foot issues can lead to stress, anxiety, and a diminished sense of overall well-being. By addressing foot pain and maintaining healthy feet, you can create a foundation for emotional resilience and a more positive outlook. Healthy feet are essential for fully engaging in social and recreational activities. Whether you enjoy hiking, dancing, or simply spending time with friends, your feet are the gatekeepers to a fulfilling and active lifestyle. When your feet are healthy, you can participate in activities you love without limitations, fostering a sense of connection and fulfillment. Your feet are a barometer for your overall health. Foot problems can serve as early warning signs of systemic conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, or neurological disorders. By prioritizing foot health, you can enable your podiatrist to detect potential health issues early on, promoting timely intervention and improved long-term health outcomes.

Fungal nail infections, while common, can significantly impact both the appearance and health of your nails. In this blog post, we'll delve into the causes, symptoms, effective podiatric treatment options for fungal nail infections, and guide you towards optimal nail health. Fungal nail infections, also known as onychomycosis, typically occur when microscopic fungi invade the nail bed. This can occur from things like, but not limited to: exposure to warm and damp environments, poor nail hygiene, compromised immune systems, and other factors that contribute to fungal growth. Understanding these triggers is crucial for both prevention and effective treatment. Early detection is key to successfully managing fungal nail infections. Subtle and not-so-subtle symptoms include changes in nail color (yellow or brown staining), thickening, brittleness, and the development of debris beneath the nail. By recognizing these signs early, you can seek prompt intervention and prevent further complications. Beyond the cosmetic concerns, untreated fungal nail infections can have broader implications for overall foot health. Untreated fungal infections may create potential complications, such as the spread of infection to neighboring nails and surrounding skin, emphasizing the importance of addressing fungal nail issues in a timely manner. At [**Cohen & Garcha Podiatry**](/), we specialize in providing expert care for fungal nail infections. Our podiatrists will tailor a treatment plan based on the severity of the infection and your individual needs, ensuring the most effective and personalized care. Prevention is a cornerstone of foot health. Maintain good foot hygiene - keep nails trimmed and dry, wear breathable footwear, and avoid shared spaces where fungi thrive. Fungal nail infections may be a common concern, but with the right knowledge and expert care, you can restore and maintain healthy nails. If you suspect a fungal nail infection or want personalized advice, schedule a consultation with our experienced podiatrists at [**Cohen & Garcha Podiatry**](/).

In this comprehensive guide, we'll equip you with expert podiatric tips to maintain fresh, healthy feet, so you can step confidently and odor-free wherever life takes you. To effectively combat foot odor, it's crucial to grasp its underlying causes. Excessive sweating, the breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, combined with the damp environment of enclosed shoes, creates a perfect storm for unpleasant smells. Excellent foot hygiene is the cornerstone of preventing foot odor. Ensure you’re washing and drying your feet thoroughly, paying particular attention to often-overlooked areas like between the toes. This meticulous approach will eliminate odor-causing bacteria and promote cleanliness. The footwear you choose to wear plays a significant role in foot odor prevention. Breathable materials like mesh, Goretex, suede, and canvas allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup. Proper shoe sizing ensures a snug fit that minimizes friction and potential sweat accumulation. Rotating your shoes regularly allows them to dry out thoroughly, disrupting the cycle of bacterial growth. Excessive moisture is a primary contributor to foot odor. Use moisture-wicking socks that draw sweat away from the skin and breathable shoe inserts that promote airflow. Choose shoes with adequate ventilation, such as those made from mesh or perforated materials, which will contribute to a dry and odor-free environment. Beyond maintaining good hygiene, proactive measures can effectively combat foot odor. You can incorporate foot powders, which absorb moisture and neutralize odor-causing bacteria. Antimicrobial socks can also be a valuable addition, providing an extra layer of defense against odor-causing microorganisms. While preventative measures are effective for many, persistent foot odor may warrant professional attention if you are experiencing ongoing or excessive odor despite hygiene practices and skin irritation or cracking, redness or swelling between the toes. Early intervention can help address underlying issues and promote long-term foot health. Fresh, odor-free feet not only enhance comfort but also bolster confidence. At [**Cohen & Garcha Podiatry**](/), we're committed to empowering you with the knowledge and tools to prevent and address foot odor effectively. We understand the profound impact of foot, lower limb, and ankle health on your overall well-being. We are committed to providing personalized advice, diagnostics, and expert podiatric care to help you achieve optimal foot health.

Yet, many of us tend to overlook their health until problems arise. Regular foot check-ups are a crucial aspect of overall well-being, ensuring that our foundation remains strong and resilient. In this blog, we'll delve into the significance of regular foot check-ups and what you can expect from these examinations. Just as we schedule regular dental check-ups and annual physicals (at least we should be), our feet deserve the same attention. Regular foot examinations can help identify potential issues before they escalate into major problems. Podiatrists are trained to spot signs of conditions such as bunions, corns, calluses, and ingrown toenails early on, preventing further discomfort and complications. For individuals with diabetes, foot health is particularly crucial. Diabetes can lead to peripheral neuropathy and poor circulation, increasing the risk of infections and ulcers. Regular foot check-ups are essential for early detection and management of these issues, helping to prevent serious complications that can result in amputation. Understanding the way we walk, or our gait, is essential for maintaining proper posture and preventing joint pain. During a foot check-up, podiatrists often perform gait analysis to identify any abnormalities. This information can guide recommendations for orthotic devices or exercises to improve walking mechanics, reducing the risk of injuries. Wearing ill-fitting shoes can contribute to a myriad of foot problems. A foot check-up provides an opportunity for professionals to assess your footwear choices and offer recommendations based on your foot structure and lifestyle. Properly fitted shoes can alleviate discomfort, improve gait, and prevent conditions like plantar fasciitis. Ingrown toenails, fungal infections, and other skin conditions can be both painful and unsightly. During a foot check-up, podiatrists can address these concerns, providing treatments and advice on proper nail and skin care. Regular maintenance can prevent infections and enhance the overall appearance of your feet. Foot check-ups are not just about treating existing issues; they're also an opportunity for education. Podiatrists can provide valuable information on preventive measures, exercises, and lifestyle changes to promote optimal foot health. Being informed about proper foot care empowers individuals to take an active role in maintaining their well-being. Incorporating regular foot check-ups into your healthcare routine is a proactive step towards overall health and wellness. Whether you're seeking preventive care, managing a chronic condition, or simply maintaining healthy feet, these check-ups offer a comprehensive approach to foot health. By staying vigilant and addressing potential issues early on, you can ensure that your feet continue to support you on your life's journey. Don't wait for discomfort or pain—schedule a foot check-up today and step into a healthier, more comfortable future.

This can cause pain, inflammation, and redness. Ingrown toenails most commonly affect the big toe, but they can also occur on other toes. The main symptom of an ingrown toenail is pain. The pain is usually mild at first, but it can become worse if the ingrown toenail is not treated. Other symptoms of an ingrown toenail include: ● Redness and swelling of the skin around the nail. There are a number of factors that can contribute to ingrown toenails. These include: ● Having a hammertoe or another type of foot deformity. Most ingrown toenails can be treated at home with simple home care measures. These include: ● Soaking your foot in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes 2-3 times per day. ● Using an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. ● Using a cotton ball or dental floss to gently lift the ingrown edge of the nail. If your ingrown toenail is severe or does not improve with home treatment, you may need to see a doctor. A doctor can trim the ingrown edge of the nail or refer you to a podiatrist for more specialized treatment. The best way to prevent ingrown toenails is to take steps to reduce the risk of factors that contribute to them. These include: ● Seeing a doctor or podiatrist for regular foot care. By following these simple tips, you can help to prevent ingrown toenails and keep your feet healthy and happy. ● If you have a history of ingrown toenails, you may want to consider having your toenails trimmed by a doctor or podiatrist. This can help to prevent the nail from growing into the skin in the first place. ● If you have an ingrown toenail that is causing you severe pain or discomfort, you should see a doctor or podiatrist as soon as possible. They can properly diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of treatment. ● Ingrown toenails can be a painful and frustrating condition, but they are usually treatable. By following the tips in this blog post, you can help to prevent ingrown toenails and keep your feet healthy. Ingrown toenails don't have to be a persistent source of discomfort. By understanding the signs, causes, and treatments, you can take proactive steps to address this common foot issue. Whether you're implementing at-home remedies or seeking professional help, this guide equips you with the knowledge to recognize, treat, and prevent ingrown toenails, ensuring you can put your best foot forward.

This seemingly simple anatomical change can lead to a range of issues, including pain, discomfort, fatigue, and instability. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the nuances of flat feet, from understanding its origins and causes to exploring effective treatment options. The arch of the foot is formed by a network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When these structures are weak or damaged, the arch can collapse, leading to flat feet. Flat feet can be congenital (present from birth) or acquired (developed later in life). **●** **Muscle weakness:** Weakness in the muscles that support the arch of the foot can cause flat feet. **●** **Ligament laxity:** Laxity in the ligaments can also cause a flattening of the arch. **●** **Weight gain:** Excess weight can put extra strain on the arches of the feet, leading to flat feet. **●** **Certain medical conditions:** Certain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, can weaken the muscles and ligaments that support the arches of the feet. **●** **Injuries:** Foot injuries, such as fractures or sprains, can also cause flat feet. The symptoms of flat feet can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some people with flat feet may not experience any symptoms at all. Others may have pain, discomfort, or other problems, such as: Your doctor can diagnose flat feet by examining your feet and asking you about your symptoms. They may also order X-rays or other imaging tests to rule out other conditions. Treatment for flat feet depends on the severity of the condition and the symptoms you are experiencing. Some people with mild flat feet may not need any treatment. Others may need to wear supportive shoes or orthotics, or they may need to strengthen the muscles that support the arches of their feet. In some cases, surgery may be necessary. Shoes that provide good arch support can help to relieve pain and discomfort caused by flat feet. Look for shoes that have a deep, supportive arch and a firm heel counter. Orthotics are custom-made inserts that fit inside your shoes and provide additional arch support. They can be very effective in relieving pain and discomfort caused by flat feet. There are exercises that you can do to strengthen the muscles that support the arches of your feet. These exercises can help to improve your balance and stability and reduce your risk of pain. Surgery is only considered for people with severe flat feet that are not responding to other treatments. Surgery can involve tightening the ligaments that support the arch of the foot or fusing the bones of the foot. There is no way to prevent flat feet completely, but there are things you can do to reduce your risk, such as: **●** Avoiding activities that put stress on the arches of your feet. **●** Strengthening the muscles that support the arches of your feet. **●** Seeing a doctor if you have any concerns about your feet. Flat feet are a common condition that can cause pain, discomfort, and other problems. However, there are many effective treatments available. If you are concerned about flat feet, see a doctor or podiatrist to discuss your options.

These harmless lumps are typically found on the wrists and hands, but they can also occur in the feet, ankles, and even the knees. While they may be unsightly, ganglion cysts are usually painless and harmless. However, if they become large or bothersome, they can be treated with various methods. Ganglion cysts are typically round or oval in shape and are filled with a clear or jelly-like substance called synovial fluid. They are usually found on the back of the wrist, but can also appear on the front, sides, or even between the fingers. These cysts can vary in size, ranging from tiny, pea-sized bumps to larger, golf ball-sized masses. The exact cause of ganglion cysts remains unclear, but there are a few possible contributing factors: **●** **Repetitive motion:** Activities that put strain on joints or tendons, such as typing, playing musical instruments, or sports, may increase the risk of ganglion cyst formation. **●** **Trauma:** A minor injury or sudden strain to a joint or tendon could cause a small tear in the synovial membrane, leading to a ganglion cyst. **●** **Joint degeneration:** Degenerative joint conditions, such as arthritis, may weaken the joint capsule and increase the likelihood of ganglion cysts developing. In most cases, ganglion cysts are painless and do not cause any significant discomfort. However, larger cysts may cause pressure or discomfort, especially when moving the affected joint or tendon. Some people may also experience slight redness or swelling around the cyst. Diagnosing a ganglion cyst is usually straightforward. A doctor will examine the affected area and can usually identify the cyst by its appearance and location. In some cases, ultrasound or MRI scans may be used to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other potential causes of the lump. Treatment for ganglion cysts is typically not necessary unless they are causing pain, discomfort, or interfering with daily activities. In such cases, several treatment options are available, including: **Aspiration and injection:** Aspiration involves using a needle to drain the fluid from the cyst. This procedure can be performed in a doctor's office and is often effective in reducing the cyst's size. However, cysts may recur, and the fluid may reaccumulate. **Needle aspiration with steroid injection:** Combining aspiration with a steroid injection can help reduce inflammation and pain, and may also lower the risk of recurrence. **Excision:** In rare cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the cyst if it is large, causing persistent pain, or if aspiration or other treatments have failed. Surgical removal is usually effective in eliminating the cyst, but there is a small risk of recurrence. While there is no foolproof way to prevent ganglion cysts, there are a few steps you can take to reduce your risk: **●** Avoid repetitive motions that strain joints or tendons. **●** Wear supportive shoes and garments to reduce stress on joints and tendons. **●** Stay hydrated to keep synovial fluid levels balanced. **●** Maintain a healthy weight to reduce strain on joints. If you notice a lump or bump on your wrist, hand, foot, or ankle, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. If the lump is causing pain, discomfort, or interfering with your daily activities, also consult a doctor to discuss treatment options. Remember, ganglion cysts are usually harmless and can be managed with various treatment strategies. By understanding the condition and seeking appropriate medical care, you can effectively address any concerns and maintain your joint health and overall well-being.

This bending, often resembling a hammer or claw shape, can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty walking. The main symptom of hammertoes is the characteristic bending of the toes. This bending can occur at the middle or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, causing the toes to curl downward. In severe cases, the toes may curl so much that they rub against the other toes or the shoes. Hammertoes are primarily caused by a weakening of the tendons and ligaments that support the toes. This weakness can be due to a number of factors, including: **●** **Footwear:** Wearing tight-fitting or high-heeled shoes can put stress on the toes and weaken the supporting tendons and ligaments. **●** **Pronation:** Excessive pronation, the inward rolling of the ankles, can place extra strain on the toes and contribute to hammertoe formation. **●** **Aging:** As we age, our tendons and ligaments become less flexible and more prone to injury, increasing the risk of hammertoes. **●** **Certain medical conditions:** Certain medical conditions, such as arthritis and diabetes, can weaken the muscles and tendons that support the toes and contribute to hammertoe formation. In addition to the characteristic toe bending, hammertoes can also cause a number of other symptoms, including: The diagnosis of hammertoes is usually made by a doctor or podiatrist. They will examine your feet and ask about your medical history and symptoms. In some cases, imaging tests, such as X-rays, may be ordered to rule out other conditions. The treatment for hammertoes depends on the severity of the deformity and the symptoms you are experiencing. In mild cases, conservative treatment options, such as wearing supportive shoes, padding the toes, and doing stretching exercises, may be effective. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the deformity and relieve pain. Conservative treatment options for hammertoes include: **●** **Shoewear:** Wearing comfortable, supportive shoes with a wide toe box can help to reduce pressure on the toes and prevent further deformity. **●** **Padding:** Applying padding to the toes can help to reduce pain and prevent corns and calluses. **●** **Stretching exercises:** Regular stretching exercises can help to strengthen the muscles and tendons that support the toes. Surgery may be recommended for severe hammertoes that are causing significant pain or difficulty walking. There are a number of different surgical procedures that can be used to correct hammertoes, depending on the specific deformity. While there is no surefire way to prevent hammertoes, there are a few things you can do to reduce your risk: By taking these steps, you can help to keep your feet healthy and reduce your risk of developing hammertoes. Hammertoes can be a painful and debilitating condition, but with proper treatment, you can manage your symptoms and prevent further deformity. If you are concerned about hammertoes, see a doctor or podiatrist to discuss your options. With proper care, you can keep your feet healthy and comfortable.

This inflammation can lead to pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking or running. There are several potential causes of Achilles tendonitis, including: **Overuse:** Repeatedly using the Achilles tendon without proper rest can lead to inflammation. This can occur in athletes, especially runners and dancers, but also in individuals who participate in activities that involve a lot of walking or stair climbing. **Trauma:** A sudden strain or injury to the Achilles tendon can damage the tendon and lead to inflammation. This can occur in athletes, but also in individuals who experience a fall or other type of accident. **Degenerative changes:** As we age, the Achilles tendon can become less flexible and more prone to injury. This can increase the risk of Achilles tendonitis. **Foot biomechanics:** Certain foot biomechanics, such as excessive pronation or supination, can put extra stress on the Achilles tendon and contribute to inflammation. **Weak calf muscles:** Weak calf muscles can put extra strain on the Achilles tendon, making it more susceptible to injury and inflammation. The main symptom of Achilles tendonitis is pain in the back of the heel. This pain may be sharp, dull, or achy. It is often worse when you first start walking or running, and it may improve with stretching and warm-up. However, the pain can return later in the day or with prolonged activity. **●** Tenderness or swelling around the Achilles tendon. **●** A "popping" or clicking sensation when you bend the ankle. The diagnosis of Achilles tendonitis is usually made by a doctor or podiatrist based on a physical examination and your medical history. They will examine your Achilles tendon and ask about your symptoms. In some cases, imaging tests, such as ultrasound or MRI, may be ordered to rule out other conditions. The treatment for Achilles tendonitis depends on the severity of the inflammation and your symptoms. In mild cases, conservative treatment options, such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), may be all that is needed. These measures can help to reduce inflammation and pain. For more severe cases of Achilles tendonitis, your doctor may recommend other treatments, such as: **●** **Stretching exercises:** Regular stretching exercises can help to improve flexibility and reduce pain. **●** **Strengthening exercises:** Strengthening exercises can help to strengthen the calf muscles and support the Achilles tendon. **●** **Night splints:** Night splints can help to keep your Achilles tendon in a stretched position while you sleep, which can help to reduce inflammation. **●** **Corticosteroid injections:** Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory medications that can be injected into the Achilles tendon to reduce inflammation and pain. **●** **Surgery:** In rare cases, surgery may be necessary to repair a torn Achilles tendon. There is no foolproof way to prevent Achilles tendonitis, but there are a few things you can do to reduce your risk: **●** **Gradually increase your activity level:** Don't try to do too much too soon, especially if you're new to an activity. **●** **Wear supportive shoes:** Shoes that provide good arch support can help to reduce stress on the Achilles tendon. **●** **Stretch your calves:** Regular stretching exercises can help to improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury. **●** **Strengthen your calves:** Strengthening exercises can help to support the Achilles tendon and reduce the risk of injury. **●** **Avoid activities that cause pain:** If you experience pain in your Achilles tendon, stop the activity and rest. Achilles tendonitis is a common and often painful condition, but it is usually treatable with conservative measures. By following the advice of your doctor or podiatrist, you can manage your symptoms and prevent further injury. With proper care, you can keep your Achilles tendon healthy and strong.

They carry us through life, literally. But sometimes, the weight of the world, both literally and figuratively, can leave them feeling bruised and battered. Today, we're diving into the often-overlooked connection between weight and foot health, exploring how the numbers on the scale can impact your ability to move freely and comfortably. Think of your feet as two hardworking superheroes supporting the entire weight of your body with every step. Now, add extra pounds to the equation. That's what happens when you're overweight or obese. This increased load translates to: **Higher pressure on the soles:** Imagine carrying a heavy backpack on your back, but instead, it's on your feet. This increased pressure can lead to pain, especially in the heel and arch areas. **Shifting biomechanics:** Your feet aren't just flat platforms. They have a complex architecture to distribute weight evenly. Extra weight can cause the arches to flatten, leading to overpronation (excessive inward rolling) and gait changes. **Joint stress:** Hips, knees, and ankles take the brunt of the extra weight too, exacerbating joint pain and potentially accelerating osteoarthritis. **The Footprint of Pain:** Common Foot Problems Associated with Weight The consequences of carrying excess weight on your feet aren't just theoretical. Here are some common foot problems associated with being overweight or obese: **Plantar fasciitis:** Inflammation of the band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot, causing stabbing heel pain, especially in the mornings. **Bunions and hammertoes:** Foot deformities caused by pressure and misalignment, leading to pain and difficulty wearing shoes. **Neuropathy:** Diabetes, a risk factor for obesity, can damage nerves in the feet, leading to numbness, tingling, and increased risk of foot ulcers. **Achilles tendinitis:** Inflammation of the tendon connecting your calf muscle to your heel, causing pain and stiffness. Foot pain isn't just an inconvenience; it can significantly impact your mobility. Climbing stairs, walking long distances, or even standing for extended periods can become painful and challenging. This can decrease physical activity, leading to a vicious cycle of weight gain and further foot problems. The good news is that you can take control of your foot health and improve your mobility, even if you're carrying a few extra pounds. Here are some tips: **Weight management:** Losing even a small amount of weight can significantly reduce pressure on your feet and improve your overall health. **Supportive shoes:** Choose shoes with good arch support and cushioning to absorb shock. **Footwear for specific activities:** Invest in supportive sneakers for exercise and proper footwear for work or leisure activities. **Stretching and exercises:** Regularly stretching and strengthening your ankles, calves, and feet can improve flexibility and stability. **See a podiatrist:** A podiatrist can assess your feet, diagnose any problems, and recommend treatment options, including custom orthotics. Remember, your feet are the foundation of your mobility. By prioritizing their health and making informed choices about weight management and footwear, you can keep them happy and ready to carry you wherever life takes you. So, take a step in the right direction, one healthy choice at a time! At [**Cohen & Garcha Podiatry**](/), we understand the profound impact of foot health on your overall well-being.

This guide will help you on your journey to better support your arches. Whether you're dealing with high arches, flat feet, or anything in between, our goal is to help you step into comfort with confidence. Your arches are the unsung heroes of your feet, providing essential support and maintaining proper alignment. Understanding your arch type is the first step in finding footwear that offers the right support. From high arches to flat feet, knowing your arch profile is crucial for making informed footwear choices. The shoes you wear play a significant role in your foot health. Ill-fitting or unsupportive footwear can contribute to various foot problems, including arch pain, plantar fasciitis, and overpronation. We'll explore how the right shoes can alleviate these issues and promote overall foot health, highlighting the connection between footwear choices and common foot ailments. **High Arches:** Individuals with high arches benefit from cushioned shoes that provide adequate arch support. These shoes absorb shock and distribute pressure evenly, reducing discomfort and preventing potential issues associated with high arches. **Flat Feet:** For those with flat feet, stability shoes with motion control are recommended. These shoes offer the necessary arch support, preventing overpronation and promoting proper alignment for individuals with flat arches. **Neutral Arches:** Individuals with neutral arches have the advantage of being able to wear shoes with balanced support. Shoes that maintain proper alignment without excessive cushioning or stability features are ideal for those with neutral arches. Choosing the right footwear for arch support involves paying attention to specific features: **Arch Type-Specific Insoles:** Look for shoes with insoles designed to support your specific arch type. **Cushioning and Shock Absorption:** Opt for shoes with adequate cushioning to absorb shock and reduce impact on your arches. **Firm Heel Counters for Stability:** Shoes with firm heel counters provide stability and prevent excessive movement, supporting your arches. **Adequate Arch Height in Shoe Design:** Ensure that the shoe design accommodates the height of your arch, offering the necessary support. Discover specific brands and models renowned for their commitment to arch support: **Brooks Adrenaline GTS:** Known for stability and support, this model is suitable for various arch types. **New Balance 990 Series:** Offers excellent arch support and comfort for individuals with different arch profiles. **Asics Gel-Kayano:** This model is recognized for providing stability and cushioning, catering to various arch needs. Choosing the right footwear for arch support is a proactive step toward maintaining healthy and happy feet. By understanding your arch type and selecting shoes tailored to your unique needs, you can prevent discomfort and promote overall foot wellness. Step into comfort, one shoe at a time, and prioritize your arch health for a stride that lasts a lifetime.

In this comprehensive guide, we will delve deep into the distinct characteristics of foot warts, explore their symptoms, and provide actionable insights on prevention and effective treatment strategies. Whether you are looking to shield yourself from these pesky growths or seeking solutions for existing warts, this guide is your compass through the intricate world of foot warts. Foot warts, primarily caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), present in various forms, each with its unique characteristics. Plantar warts, typically found on the soles of the feet, appear as small, grainy growths with a central black dot. Common warts, usually on the toes or around the nails, have a raised, rough surface. Flat warts, found in clusters on the feet, are smoother and more level with the skin. By understanding these distinct characteristics, individuals can better identify the type of wart they may be dealing with. Identifying foot warts goes beyond visual cues. Symptoms include tenderness, pain, or discomfort while walking or standing. Individuals may notice small, fleshy growths with rough surfaces. Risk factors for contracting foot warts include walking barefoot in public spaces like pools or gyms, having a weakened immune system, and coming into direct contact with the virus. Recognizing symptoms and understanding risk factors are critical steps in early intervention. Preventing foot warts involves a combination of hygiene and protective measures. Practicing meticulous foot hygiene, including regular washing and drying of feet, can reduce the risk of viral exposure. Wearing protective footwear in communal areas, such as flip-flops in shared showers or locker rooms, adds an extra layer of defense against the HPV virus. These prevention strategies create an environment less conducive to wart development. When it comes to treating foot warts, various options cater to different preferences and severity levels. Over-the-counter treatments, such as topical solutions or medicated pads, provide convenience for mild cases. Professional interventions by a podiatrist may include cryotherapy, laser therapy, or minor surgical procedures for more stubborn warts. Understanding the available treatment options empowers individuals to choose the approach that aligns with their specific needs. Complementing professional treatment, individuals can explore home remedies and self-care tips to enhance wart management. Applying over-the-counter salicylic acid, using duct tape occlusion therapy, and maintaining good foot care practices contribute to the healing process.  While home remedies effectiveness may vary, recognizing when to seek professional help is crucial. Persistent pain, changes in wart appearance, or the presence of multiple warts may indicate the need for a podiatrist's expertise. Professional guidance ensures a thorough examination, accurate diagnosis, and tailored treatment options for optimal results. Foot warts can be a persistent challenge, but with the right knowledge and proactive measures, you can regain control over your foot health. Whether you're focused on prevention or seeking effective treatment, this guide equips you with the insights needed to unmask the intricacies of foot warts and step confidently towards a wart-free future.

It's a condition that often sparks curiosity and concern, especially among individuals experiencing its symptoms. This blog aims to shed light on neuropathy, its potential causes, symptoms, and the importance of recognizing it early. Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, is a result of damage to the peripheral nerves. These nerves are the extensive communication network that transmits information between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and every other part of the body. When these nerves are compromised, it can lead to a range of symptoms that can affect your quality of life. The symptoms of neuropathy can vary widely depending on the nerves affected. Common signs include: Neuropathy can stem from a multitude of causes. Some of the most prevalent include: Recognizing the early warning signs of neuropathy is crucial. Symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain can signal the onset of neuropathy and should not be ignored. Early intervention can help manage symptoms and potentially slow the progression of nerve damage. Diagnosing neuropathy involves a thorough examination and a review of medical history. Tests may include blood work, nerve function tests (like EMG and NCV), and in some cases, nerve biopsies. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for managing the condition effectively. Living with neuropathy can be challenging, but many find ways to manage their symptoms and maintain a fulfilling life. It's important to focus on overall well-being, including maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing stress, and seeking support when needed. Neuropathy is a complex condition with diverse manifestations. While this blog does not offer medical advice, it underscores the importance of awareness and early detection. If you're experiencing symptoms that may suggest neuropathy, consult with a healthcare professional, such as Dr. Cohen and Dr. Garcha.  At **Cohen & Garcha Podiatry**, we understand the profound impact of foot health on your overall well-being.

Flat feet can cause overpronation (rolling inward), leading to pain in the feet, knees, and back. - High arches can cause poor shock absorption, resulting in **heel and ankle pain**. 1. **Comprehensive Foot Evaluation** – We assess your gait, foot structure, and medical history. 2. **3D Foot Scanning or Casting** – A mold of your feet is taken to create orthotics that match your unique shape. 3. **Custom Manufacturing** – Using high-quality materials, your orthotics are made for maximum support and comfort. 4. **Fitting & Adjustments** – Once your orthotics are ready, we ensure they fit properly and make any necessary adjustments. - **Pain Relief** – Helps reduce foot, heel, knee, and back pain. - **Better Posture & Alignment** – Supports proper body mechanics. - **Improved Mobility** – Makes walking and standing more comfortable. - **Injury Prevention** – Reduces strain on muscles and joints.
