- Orthotics For Hammertoe
By: Kent Smith | - Hammertoe is a common foot deformity that occurs when the toes become locked into a permanently bent position. They are often caused by wearing ill-fitting footwear, particularly high-heeled shoes, which force the toes into a bent position.

A hammertoe can either be flexible or rigid. ...

- What Causes Foot Drop?
By: Kent Smith | - A person with foot drop is unable to lift the front part of his foot (a movement known as dorsiflexion). When a person with foot drop attempts to walk, the foot will slap down on the floor. The affected person may try to accommodate the condition by walking on his toes, but he will be unable to walk on his heels (one of the tests a podiatrist uses to diagnose the condition). Foot drop usually only affects one foot, but in certain cases both feet may be rendered immobile.

- The Benefits Of Going Barefoot
By: Kent Smith | - We all remember being kids and playing barefoot outside. I grew up in a rural community and so shoes were optional when it came to playing on the front lawn, climbing trees or even running down the street to play with a nearby neighbor. At some point, shoes became compulsory and the thought of going barefoot somewhere other than at the pool or the beach was simply not entertained. It is generally accepted that shoes are better for the health of our feet. After all, it is dirty outside! Of c ...

- Foot Ulcers And Preventative Care
By: Kent Smith | - Foot deformities are common among diabetic patients suffering from chronic complications of the disease such as neuropathy (decreased neural sensation). The atrophy of muscles in the foot (due to neuropathy and poor circulation) makes it difficult for these muscles to hold the toes in their proper position. Unable to feel unhealthy friction or rubbing on their feet, diabetics are more likely to suffer from blisters, corns, calluses, bunions and hammertoe.

- Choosing Orthopedic Insoles
By: Kent Smith | - Orthopedic insoles have become quite sophisticated. Traditionally used to alleviate foot pain by shifting pressure away from certain sore or stressed areas of the foot, insoles nowadays can actually be used to treat the underlying condition itself. For example, an orthopedic insole designed to treat Mortons neuroma will cushion the ball of the foot in such a way that pressure is removed from the nerve and the inflammation of the nervous tissue will dissipate completely.

- Finding The Right Pair Of Shoes To Prevent Foot Injury And Foot Deformity
By: Kent Smith | - A surprising number of Americans have feet that are two different sizes. Some studies estimate the number is upwards of sixty-percent. Many of these people can get away with fitting both feet into the same size shoes.

Even feet that are a full size apart can usually compromise. If the left foot ...

- Choosing An Orthopedic Sandal
By: Kent Smith | - Its not easy to find a pair of sandals that properly supports your feet. But after an entire summer of sandal wearing, youll wish you had. Most sandals with their flat, thin sole simply dont cut it when it comes to supporting the arch, heel, toes and Achilles tendon. This is especially true for people who have a history of foot deformity or injury. People who suffer from plantar fasciitis (heel pain), for example, need a sandal that lifts the heel and supports the a ...

- How Do I Know If I Have A Morton's Neuroma?
By: Kent Smith | - The symptoms of a Mortons neuroma tend to develop gradually over time. At first, you may only notice pain when you wear narrow shoes or put unusual stress on your foot. Pain may quickly dissipate if you massage the affected area or take your shoes off.
