CRAIG SHAPERO, DPM, FORMERLY OF PRINCETON FOOT AND ANKLE AND DR. ANDREW SCHMIERER OF MONROE TOWNSHIP JOIN FORCES TO CREATE “CARING PODIATRY”.

http://www. monroefootdoc.com

Dr. Craig Shapero, DPM, formerly of Princeton Foot and Ankle and Andrew Schmierer, DPM, announced today that they would join together to provide comprehensive foot and ankle care to infants, children, adults and the elderly. The new practice called CARING PODIATRY will focus on providing patients with personalized and caring service in a state-of-the-art facility.

First Class IV Laser

CARING PODIATRY now offers patients the new breakthrough, FIRST class IV Laser, which was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the treatment of pain and arthritis for patients who suffer from chronic ankle, heel and foot pain. In addition, laser therapy can also provide amazing results for nail fungus. Nail Fungus affects approximately 23 million people or one in 10 Americans. An infection of nail fungus may begin as a white or yellow spot under the tip of the nail. It causes the nails to discolor, thicken and develop crumbling edges. With the new laser, a beam painlessly goes through the toenail and safely reduces the infection in the nail bed. There is no anesthesia required, no drugs, or side effects. It is both safe and effective. It offers hope to the millions of people who have been suffering from this embarrassing and painful condition.

KeryFlex Nail Restoration Treatment

CARING PODIATRY also offers KeryFlex, nail restoration system that uses polymer resins and special activators to create a durable, flexible artificial nail. The flexible polymer adheres directly to the nail and is safe, painless, and fast - it only takes 15 minutes in the podiatrist's office. It can make a broken, diseased, or destroyed-looking nail appear healthy and attractive.

CARING PODIATRY - A New Type of Podiatry Practice

In today's medical environment, doctors are so busy seeing patients that they do not take the time to talk to their patients, truly assess their medical complaints and provide a sense of empathy for what brought them into the doctor's office in the first place. “At CARING PODIATRY we are committed to providing our patients with outstanding personalized service,” said Dr. Craig Shapero. “We want to make sure that our patients know that we care about them and we want them to leave our office satisfied with the treatment they receive”.” In our state-of-the art facility, we have the ability to treat patients who suffer from a variety of foot and ankle ailments,” said Dr. Schmierer. “But it is our goal to also provide our patients with the most up-to date treatments, such as the First Class IV Laser and the Keryflex Nail Restoration Treatment.”

CARING PODIATRY is located at 18 Centre Drive, 205 Monroe Township, NJ 08831. (609) 860-9111 http://www. monroefootdoc.com.

Diabetic Foot Care - Sarasota Podiatrist

 

Diabetic Foot Care - Sarasota Podiatrist

According to the American Diabetes Association, about 15.7 million people (5.9 percent of the United States population) have diabetes. Nervous system damage (also called neuropathy) affects about 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes and is a major complication that may cause diabetics to lose feeling in their feet or hands.

 

Foot problems are a big risk in diabetics. Diabetics must constantly monitor their feet or face severe consequences, including amputation.

 

With a diabetic foot, a wound as small as a blister from wearing a shoe that's too tight can cause a lot of damage. Diabetes decreases blood flow, so injuries are slow to heal. When your wound is not healing, it's at risk for infection. As a diabetic, your infections spread quickly. If you have diabetes, you should inspect your feet every day. Look for puncture wounds, bruises, pressure areas, redness, warmth, blisters, ulcers, scratches, cuts and nail problems. Get someone to help you, or use a mirror.

 

Here's some basic advice for taking care of your feet:

 

    * Always keep your feet warm.

    * Don't get your feet wet in snow or rain.

    * Don't put your feet on radiators or in front of the fireplace.

    * Don't smoke or sit cross-legged. Both decrease blood supply to your feet.

    * Don't soak your feet.

    * Don't use antiseptic solutions, drugstore medications, heating pads or sharp instruments on your feet.

    * Trim your toenails straight across. Avoid cutting the corners. Use a nail file or emery board. If you find an ingrown toenail, contact our office.

    * Use quality lotion to keep the skin of your feet soft and moist, but don't put any lotion between your toes.

    * Wash your feet every day with mild soap and warm water.

    * Wear loose socks to bed.

    * Wear warm socks and shoes in winter.

    * When drying your feet, pat each foot with a towel and be careful between your toes.

    * Buy shoes that are comfortable without a "breaking in" period. Check how your shoe fits in width, length, back, bottom of heel, and sole. Avoid pointed-toe styles and high heels. Try to get shoes made with leather upper material and deep toe boxes. Wear new shoes for only two hours or less at a time. Don't wear the same pair everyday. Inspect the inside of each shoe before putting it on. Don't lace your shoes too tightly or loosely.

    * Choose socks and stockings carefully. Wear clean, dry socks every day. Avoid socks with holes or wrinkles. Thin cotton socks are more absorbent for summer wear. Square-toes socks will not squeeze your toes. Avoid stockings with elastic tops.

 

When your feet become numb, they are at risk for becoming deformed. One way this happens is through ulcers. Open sores may become infected. Another way is the bone condition Charcot (pronounced "sharko") foot. This is one of the most serious foot problems you can face. It warps the shape of your foot when your bones fracture and disintegrate, and yet you continue to walk on it because it doesn't hurt. Diabetic foot ulcers and early phases of Charcot fractures can be treated with a total contact cast.
