  • How do you manage bone spurs?

    I remove bone spurs through a small surgical incision approximately 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch long. I use a fluoroscope, which is a live X-ray to visualize a bone spur and a small power file to takeoff the spur. It is usually done with the local anesthetic in an office surgery room. Most patients return to work the next day. Look for a podiatric surgeon or orthopedic surgeon who is capable of performing minimal incision surgery. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM  READ MORE

Some stress fractures will heal in only a couple weeks, some metatarsal base fractures take months.

  • Are high heels safe for my feet?

    High heels can cause multiple problems. Those we see most often are neuromas (nerve tumors in the ball of the foot) and ruptured Achilles’ tendons caused by tightening and shortening of the tendon. You can help to prevent these by making sure the front part of the shoe is not too tight and doing Achilles’ tendon stretches several times every day. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM READ MORE

  • What are the best creams for toenail fungus?

    If you have a fungus in your toenails, good OTC creams include lotrimin, lamisil and miconazole.  You need to treat daily for a year.  If you see no improvement in 3 months, you should go to your podiatrist to have the nails checked to be sure there is a fungus. Kathleen Neuhoff, DP READ MORE

  • What are the treatment options for toe fungus?

    First step is to be sure you actually have a fungus since several other problems such as psoriasis and chronic nail trauma look identical to fungus. If you have a fungus, it can be treated with pills, a variety of topical creams, some homeopathic topicals and laser therapy. You can try one of the over the counter topicals such as miconazole, lotimin or lamisil. If you use one of these creams, it is very important to file the nails as thin as possible so the cream can penetrate. Nail fungus needs to be treated with topicals for a year. If you do not see any improvement in 3 months, you need to go to your podiatrist to have the nails evaluated. Dr. Kathleen Neuhoff READ MORE
