Combat Crippling Corns and Calluses Ignoring the pricking pain on the soles of your feet? Feeling unbalanced because your gait has changed? Upset that corns are marring the shape of your foot? A foot corn is an area of thickened skin that occurs in areas of pressure. In the foot, the skin will thicken up to protect itself when the areas of high pressure have not been eliminated. Eventually, you will experience a great deal of pain in the foot at the area of the corn. Foot corns appear as a thickening on the top of your toes. Hard corns are normally located on the outer surface of the little toe or can also be found on the surface of other toes. Foot corns can often appear in between the toes. Treatment of foot corns can generally be implemented with over-the-counter medications. The Foot and Ankle Associates as professional podiatrists in Los Gatos, California, treat unsightly corns and calluses or hyperkeratosis, clavus, heloma and tyloma to prevent discomfort and pain so that their patients can lead normal lives.

APRIL 2008
Stop sweaty soles Embarrassed by sweaty hands and feet? Has this condition disturbed your everyday life? Have you seen a doctor to prevent any hazards that could potentially harm your lifestyle? Known medically as Plantar Hyperhydrosis, excessive foot sweating can affect you functionally and socially. In some cases, this condition has disrupted marital life and caused problems at the work place. Excessive feet sweating not only causes odor and discomfort, but also fungal infections. It can lead to uncomfortable situations and even dangers in driving thereby causing accidents. The Foot and Ankle Associates are professional podiatrists in Los Gatos, California, where Dr. Elardo, Dr. Sheth and Dr. Meltzer specialize in podiatric medicine and surgery. They are experts at foot and ankle pain treatment. They treat various kinds of foot problems such as foot neuroma, ganglions, bunions, peripheral arterial disease, warts, foot corns, etc., and also provide advice on foot care products.
When the human body perspires, it maintains constant internal body temperature. The Sympathetic Nervous System that regulates perspiration controls over five million sweat glands in the body. The sympathetic chain that controls sweating is located in the chest. When the body sweats more than it needs to, especially in hands and feet, Plantar Hyperhydrosis occurs as a medical condition, which may be continuous or episodic. This happens when the Sympathetic Nervous System overworks to cool down the internal body temperature. Visit www.sjfeet.com.

Step into a secure zone Foot sweating is characterized by excessive sweating of the soles of the feet. There can be many causes of excessive foot sweating, and it is hard to pinpoint the exact cause for each person. It can be caused by an overactive nervous system, such as stress and anxiety, due to the over-activity of the sweat glands themselves. It can also be hereditary since it is very common to see family members with similar severity of the foot sweating condition. Take the timely help of the podiatrists at The Foot and Ankle Associates so that you can be free from a painful and embarrassing situation. Excessive foot sweating exists in many different degrees. More severe forms of foot sweating can lead to other diseases, such as athlete’s foot, bacterial infections, fungal toenails or other skin problems. You can treat this condition by using absorbent foot powders, and changing shoes and socks frequently. More severe types of foot sweating may need to be treated with medications like Drysol. The Foot and Ankle Associates take great care with an in-depth analysis and diagnosis when treating their patients. If you have any disorders of the foot, you should approach the podiatrists at Foot and Ankle Associates Los Gatos for foot treatment and relief from foot pain. They are experts in their field and can diagnose and treat both common and rare foot problems. Walk through the corridors of confidence… Visit our main site www.sjfeet.com.

MARCH 2008
Experience the spirit of freedom
Did you know that it is not wise to ignore pain anywhere in your body? It is normal for people to ignore pain especially in the areas of the feet and legs. But every part of your body is important and its best to see a doctor before things get out of hand. The stresses of everyday life often leads one down a painful path. Professional podiatrists at Foot and Ankle Associates of Los Gatos, California, have structured a module of health with pain-free solutions to help you to lead a normal life.
Troubled tender tendon?
Did you know that tendons connect muscles to the bones? A tendon is a flexible yet tough band of fibrous tissues that is responsible for enabling movement of any kind. It is coordinated structure that transmits the force of the muscle contraction to the bone. When the muscle contracts during movement, the tendon helps it move in a smooth manner. Though tendons come in all sizes, they are the moving force behind the muscles. Due to various reasons, tendons get inflamed and this impairment irritates the action of pulling of the muscle.
The Foot and Ankle Associates render expert treatment in podiatric problems and advise you not to strain or ignore any muscular pain because a neglected condition leads to tendonitis.

Sometimes we are unaware why this condition called tendonitis occurs. Some of the common causes are overuse of the muscles. It may even occur when an exercise program is increased and can affect sports people too. Or it could be age related where the changes in the blood vessels that supply nutrition to the tendons are diminished. As the tendon is not used to over demand of its function it tends to get inflamed and irritated. Some of the symptoms of tendonitis are tenderness directly over the tendon, pain with movement of muscles and tendons, and swelling of the tendon. The more commonly known conditions are Wrist Tendonitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Patellar (Kneecap) Tendonitis and Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. In an unusual situation, surgery is necessary to realign the tendon.
The Foot and Ankle Associates offer a range of professional services in podiatry that include orthopedics, sports medicine, biomechanics, radiography, surgery and dermatology.

Keep Your Toes Toasty Whether you’re heading off to a snowy region this season or stepping into the elements just outside your door, make sure you’re dressed appropriately for the weather. It’s important to wear layers of warm clothes, but don’t forget your feet. Keeping your feet warm helps prevent cold weather conditions, such as frostbite. Frostbite is a condition that can occur when skin is exposed to extreme cold, resulting in tissue damage and possible tissue loss. Your fingers, toes, and areas of commonly exposed skin like the nose and cheeks are at risk for frostbite. In the foot, frostbite typically develops in stages beginning with cold toes that then turn bright red in color. The color in the toes continues to change and darken into purples and blues and eventually black, indicating severe frostbite. If you have diabetic neuropathy, which causes loss of feeling in the foot, it is especially important you check your toes regularly for signs of frostbite. Another symptom of frostbite is numbness in the toes; however, numb toes can also be a symptom of other conditions, such as tarsal tunnel syndrome, metatarsalgia, and neuromas. Wearing tight shoes can also cause numbness in the toes. If you are experiencing numbness in your toes, call our office to schedule an appointment. If you suspect the numbness is due to frostbite, seek medical attention immediately. Visit our main site www.sjfeet.com. Also visit our new websites a nd
