  • Can you have surgery for nerve pain?

    Nerves have to be evaluated carefully as they are difficult to treat. If there is nerve that is cut, it may be sutured. If there is a nerve that is trapped in scar tissue, it may be released from this scar tissue. Even if this is done, there are no guarantees that the feeling will improve. READ MORE

  • How do you manage bone spurs?

    Bone spurs can be found anywhere on the body. Most people mean a spur in the heal, when the mention bone spurs on the feet. These are due to an abnormally high amount of tension in the plantar fascia on the heel bone connection, and over years will result in the deposition of bone, commonly called a bone spur. The spur itself is not painful, but the pain comes from the inflammation of the tissue attachment to it. Ice, ibuprofen, stretching, supportive shoes are common first line treatments. If the pain does not get better, see you doc for a thorough examination. READ MORE

  • Can nerve damage be repaired in the foot?

    It depends how severe the nerve damage is. There are various levels of nerve damage from neuropraxia to neurotmesis to axonotmesis.

A proper evaluation is a key staring point. READ MORE
