Dr. William Baird, DPM / Plaza Foot Care's Expert Contributions
What should I do with a smashed toe?
You always need a X-ray to rule out fracture or dislocation. Just because it does not hurt today does not mean it will not hurt tomorrow. In addition, sometimes it's prudent to remove the nail and start again as a loose nail may become infected. READ MORE
Ingrown toenail?
You need a partial nail avulsion with removal and cauterization of the granuloma under local anesthesia. Six months is a considerable amount of time. If healing is slow to occur after the procedure, I would recommend a biopsy. READ MORE
I have a mole on my feet?
Any hyperpigmented lesion that has an irregular shape needs to get a biopsy. READ MORE
Can chiropractors help with foot pain?
Yes. Chiropractors know that orthotics will help the back and make them for their patients, which in turn also help the feet in immeasurable ways. READ MORE
What anesthesia is used for ingrown toenail surgery?
Typical local block consists of 3 cc of 2% Lidocaine plain. If the doctor wants to control bleeding, he could use a mixture of 1.5 cc of 2% Lidocaine plain mixed with 1.5 cc of 2% Lidocaine with epinephrine. READ MORE
Injured foot?
Only if you suffered a severe twist of the foot or by direct impact. READ MORE
Big toes issues?
The nail root/matrix of any toe nail can be permanently made to stop growing with the proper use of phenol. They would take 3 weeks to heal and you would be expected to do Epson salt soaks twice daily with povidine iodine application. Procedure is at least 85% successful. READ MORE
