Dr. Mark Green of Kansas City Foot and Ankle discusses Laser Treatment for Fungal Toenails.

 http://www.kansascityfootandankle.com

 Imagine how great it will be to wear sandals again!

Kansas City Foot and Ankle regularly sees patients with the condition known as Onychomycosis or fungal toenails.  Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that lives on the bed of the toenail and between the layers of the nail.  This infection can be difficult to get rid of.  Up to 13% of people in the U.S. suffer from fungal toenails.

 

Laser Treatment 

Kansas City Foot and Ankle features the Q-Clear Laser Treatment.  This very effective, 10 MINUTE  laser treatment kills the fungus without the hassle of topical medications and the potential side effects of the pills.  You will be able to resume your normal activities right away. 

·        The laser treatment is:

• A Quick In-Office Procedure
• Painless

·        Safe & Effective

 

Why Q-Clear?  The Q-Clear laser is a mid-infrared laser wavelength that penetrates the nail, eliminating the destructive infections and revitalizing your nail as it grows out.  Like several other lasers used in podiatry, it is FDA cleared for treatment of fungal toenails.  But while other lasers create a thermal effect, the Q-Clear creates short, but extremely powerful pulses of laser energy, so it’s mechanism of action is actually through a mechanical or “shockwave” effect, with very little heating. It destroys the fungus without heating up the tissue.  So there is very little potential for discomfort or burning of the tissue with the Q-Clear, as compared to other lasers.

 

Kansas City Foot and Ankle also offers more traditional treatment options for fungal toenails:

 

Topical treatments require the patient to apply medication to the infected toenails once or twice daily for up to a year.  The success rate in killing the fungus with topical medication is only between 15-30%.

 

Oral medications have a higher success rate, but also have potential side effects.  The medication can affect your liver and can alter your sense of taste.   Pregnant women or people with liver issues should not take the oral medications.

If you wear nail polish, Dr. Green recommends Dr.’s REMEDY Nail Polish to fight fungus.  Regular nail polish actually promotes fungal growth.  It acts as a barrier, creating a dark, moist environment beneath the nail; a perfect setup for fungus.  If you’re going to wear nail polish, make sure it’s Dr’s REMEDY anti-fungal nail polish.

Dr. Harvey Jacobs discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Foot Warts (Plantar Warts)

http://qualityfootcarecenternj.com

Most foot warts are harmless, even though they may be painful. They are often mistaken for corns or calluses, which are layers of dead skin that build up to protect an area which is being continuously irritated. A wart, however, is caused by a viral infection which invades the skin through small or invisible cuts and abrasions. Foot warts are generally raised and fleshy and can appear anywhere on the foot or toes. Occasionally, warts can spontaneously disappear after a short time, and then, just as frequently, they recur in the same location. If left untreated, warts can grow to an inch or more in circumference and can spread into clusters of warts. Children, especially teenagers, tend to be more susceptible to warts than adults.

Laser Treatment for Arthritis Foot Pain - Podiatrist in Somerset and North Brunswick, NJ - Harvey Jacobs DPM 

Patient of Dr. Harvey Jacobs discusses Laser Treatment for Arthritis Foot Pain.

Arthritis is an inflammation and swelling of the cartilage and lining of the joints, generally accompanied by an increase in the fluid in the joints. Arthritis is a disabling and occasionally crippling disease afflicting almost 40 million Americans. In some forms, it appears to be hereditary. Although the prevalence of arthritis increases with age, all people from infancy to middle age are potential victims. People over 50 are the primary targets.

If the feet seem more susceptible to arthritis than other parts of the body, it is because each foot has 33 joints that can be afflicted, and there is no way to avoid the pain of the tremendous weight-bearing load on the feet. Arthritic feet can result in loss of mobility and independence. However, early diagnosis and proper medical care can limit or slow the damage.

Symptoms of arthritis in the foot and ankle include:

• Early morning stiffness.
• Limitation in motion of joint.
• Recurring pain or tenderness in any joint.
• Redness or heat in a joint.
• Skin changes, including rashes and growths.
• Swelling in one or more joints.

Dr. Vimal Reddy of First Coast Foot and Ankle Clinic discusses Laser Treatment for Fungal Toenails.

http://www.firstcoastfootclinic.com

 Fungal nails refers to any number of fungal nail infections that can occur on the foot. Since fungal nails are usually more resistant and more difficult to treat than Athlete's Foot, topical or oral antifungal medications may be prescribed. Note: Please consult a physician before taking any medications. Permanent nail removal is another possible form of treatment for tenacious fungal nails.

Preventing Fungal Nail Infections

After a fungal nail infection has cleared up, take steps to prevent the infection from recurring. Keeping fungi at bay will help prevent a fungal infection of the skin from reinfecting the nail. Before bed, thoroughly wash and dry your feet, and apply a nonprescription antifungal cream to the entire foot from the ankle down. Use the cream every night, then gradually apply it less often. Keep your feet dry. Dry feet are less likely to become infected. Apply powder to your dry feet after you take a shower or bath.

Other suggestions for preventing fungal nails include:

• Don't share nail clippers or nail files with others.
• Don't share shoes or socks with others.
• Try not to injure your nail, such as by cutting it too short (trauma to the nail may lead to infections).
• Wear dry cotton socks and change them two or three times a day if necessary.
• Wear dry shoes that allow air to circulate around your feet (tight, enclosed, moist shoes contribute to fungal toenail infections).
• Wear shower sandals or shower shoes when you are at a public pool or shower.

Prevention

Follow basic foot care guidelines and, more than likely, you can head off most common foot fungus problems.

http://www.no1footcare.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.

Dr. Sheldon Nadal discusses laser therapy for Fungal Toenails 

http://www.footcare.net

On August 26 2010 our  Toronto podiatry office introduced in Canada, laser treatment for toenail fungus or onychomycosis using a 1320 nm YAG laser .

A preliminary study performed in Roseville California indicates that up to 75-80% of patients with mild to moderate onychomycosis or fungal toenails will experience a significant improvement following treatment.

The laser is an alternative to topical medications such as Pen Lac, which has limited efficacy, and anti-fungal pills such as Lamisil or Terbinifine, which have associated side effects.

With our laser, there is usually very little discomfort, anaesthetic is unnecessary and you may walk and resume normal activities immediately.

Currently, several lasers are being marketed to Toronto Ontario podiatrists for the treatment of fungal toenails. They include the CoolBreeze or CoolTouch Laser by NuStar lasers, the Pinpoint or Pinpointe laser by Patholase and the Genesis laser by Cutera. Other lasers for nail fungus include the Q-Clear laser and the Fotona laser

Please call our Toronto foot clinic at 416-486-9917 today to find out how we can help you with your toe nails.

HarveyJacobs_FungalNails.wmv Watch on Posterous

http://qualityfootcarecenternj.com

Fungal infection of the nail, or onychomycosis, is often ignored because the infection can be present for years without causing any pain. The disease is characterized by a progressive change in a toenail's quality and color, which is often ugly and embarrassing.

In reality, the condition is an infection underneath the surface of the nail caused by fungi. When the tiny organisms take hold, the nail often becomes darker in color and foul smelling. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails. If ignored, the infection can spread and possibly impair one's ability to work or even walk. This happens because the resulting thicker nails are difficult to trim and make walking painful when wearing shoes. Onychomycosis can also be accompanied by a secondary bacterial or yeast infection in or about the nail plate.

Because it is difficult to avoid contact with microscopic organisms like fungi, the toenails are especially vulnerable around damp areas where people are likely to be walking barefoot, such as swimming pools, locker rooms, and showers, for example. Injury to the nail bed may make it more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer from chronic diseases, such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or immune-deficiency conditions, are especially prone to fungal nails. Other contributing factors may be a history of athlete's foot and excessive perspiration.
