TOPAZ for Heel Pain

Radio waves are the most unique addition to our arsenal for heel pain. We are proud to be offering TOPAZ©, the only minimally-invasive radiofrequency-based treatment for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis. Using the patented technology, microdebridement of the damaged tissue is performed during a short outpatient procedure. No stitches are required and patients are back on their feet in a few days. Olympic gymnast Dominique Moceanu was sticking her landings only 8 weeks after her procedure and recommends this in her testimonial on the TOPAZinfo.com website. Our patients have had similar results.

Adult-acquired flatfoot or posterior tibial tendon dysfunction usually leads to a gradual loss of the arch. The posterior tibial muscle is a deep muscle in the back of the calf and has a long tendon that extends from above the ankle and attaches into several sites around the arch of the foot. The muscle acts like a stirrup on the inside of the foot to help support the arch. The posterior tibial muscle stabilizes the arch and creates a rigid platform for walking and running. If the posterior tibial tendon becomes damaged or tears, the arch loses its stability and as a result, collapses, causing a flatfoot.

Surgery is often performed to give the patient a more functional and stable foot. Several procedures may be required to correct a flatfoot deformity, depending on the severity of the problem. These may include:

• Tenosynovectomy—a procedure to clean away (debridement) and remove any of the inflamed tissue around the tendon.
• Osteotomy—removal of a portion of the heel bone (calcaneus) to move the foot structure back into alignment.
• Tendon Transfer—in which replacement fibers from another tendon are inserted to help repair damage.
• Lateral Column Lengthening—A procedure that implants a small piece of bone, usually removed from the hip, outside of the heel bone to create the proper bone alignment and rebuild the arch.
• Arthrodesis—Fusing of one or more bones together to eliminate any joint movement, which stabilizes the foot and prevents any further deterioration or damage.

 Dr. Corey Fox of Massapequa Podiatry Associates, P.C. discusses the KeryFlex™  Nail Restoration System.

Nail Restoration

KeryFlex™ is a nail restoration system that uses polymer resins and special activators to create a durable, yet flexible artificial nail when exposed to a certain frequency of ultraviolet light. The interval between applications will vary according to the patient, but in general, the time between applications is six to eight weeks. KeryFlex™ is NOT a treatment for onychomycosis or related nail disorders. KeryFlex™ is a safe cosmetic application that makes a toenail appear more attractive. Patients can use nail polish and nail polish remover on a KeryFlex™ nail.

Dr. Corey Fox of Massapequa Podiatry Associates, P.C. discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Heel Pain.

http://www.longislandheelpain.com

 

Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation.

Also known as heel spur syndrome, the condition is often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as the use of anti-inflammatory medications, ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications. In persistent cases, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment (ESWT) may be used to treat the heel pain.

Medicare Diabetic Shoe Program:
Do you or someone you know have diabetes? If you are a diabetic, you may be at risk of developing serious foot infections and ulcers that often lead to amputation. Research by the American Diabetes Association has confirmed that over half of the diabetic amputations could have been prevented with timely foot care and protective footwear.

Medicare recognizes the importance of this and now provides coverage for one pair of high quality shoes and three pairs of removable, protective shoe inserts each year. This valuable service is now being offered here at Massapequa Podiatry Associates. If you are a diabetic and qualify, Medicare will pay 80% and your supplemental insurance may pay the other 20%, resulting in no outof-pocket cost to you.

Do not delay. Please call us at (516)-541-9000 to schedule a foot exam, so we may evaluate your eligibility for this important benefit.
