Beverly Podiatry

Beverly Podiatry is participating in the American Podiatric Medical Association Conference this weekend with 150 other regional physicians and surgeons to learn the most up-to-date and innovative surgical and non surgical techniques to better serve our patients' feet and ankles!

Fall sports are back in session! It is important to have the proper attire to prevent injuries. If you find your little one having pain or frequently tripping and falling despite the proper attire, make sure to have them evaluated by your local Podiatrist. 👣

We had a unique case at Beverly Podiatry today, os intermetatarseum! 👣

This is a rare accessory bone in the foot between the 1st and 2nd metatarsals and cuneiform. Typically, they do not cause symptoms but with certain activities ⚽️🎾⛳️🥋🩰🎳 they can present as pain to the top of the foot or tingling in the 1st web space. 🦶

Resting, offloading, and possible steroid injection are conservative treatments we will exhaust but if symptoms persist we will surgically remove this extra bone. 🦴

👣 Do you have painful aching feet when standing or walking all day? This could be caused by numerous pathologies and one could be due to “flat feet”. This is medically referred to as pes planovalgus and there is often the misconception one should wear flat shoes. 👟 However, this foot type is in the most need of arch support. Many patients can get relief with over-the-counter orthotics. Come check out the options we have in our foot care center. 👣

Keep in mind, if you have painful aching feet or you think you have flat feet, there could be many causes of pain so be sure to get a full evaluation from your local Podiatrist! 🩺🥼
