- Foot Surgery: How To Know When It's Needed
By: Ian Ray | - Yet, if you or I were asked when the last time was that we visited a podiatrist, we would probably say, Never. Why would I want to see one of them? Foot doctors are for wimps."
While that may be true in some cases, the fact remains that most of us take our feet for granted. Since they never give us much trouble, they must be hardy soles indeed. That could be the reason why, when our feet start giving us trouble, we either ignore the pain, or try to fix the problem ourselves.

- High Heel Shoes: A Deadly Weapon Waiting To Shoot
By: Julian Lenox | - Keeping up with the current fashion is not an easy thing to do. If we were to follow everything that fashion dictates, we would most probably end up seriously ill or hurt at the hospital. The struggle to stay as skinny as super models, and the effort put to keep your balance on top of your new high heel shoes have serious consequences to your health.
Does the phrase my feet are killing me ring a bell? If it does, it is because it is true, we feel like our feet are going to kill us ...

- Optimize Your Running Program To Stay Injury-free
By: Michael Arnone | - The days are long, the sun is bright and warm and we all get that natural pull to get out of the gym and head outside to exercise. But, away from the gym and fitness professionals we are on our own to build a balanced running program.
As you probably know, running can be really tough on the body, all that repeated impact can bedevil runners with shin splints, stress fractures, pulled muscles, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis (heel pain), knee problems and chronic issues with their ...

- Cellphone Use Associated With Increased Risk Of Brain Tumors
By: Paul Fitzgerald | - I haven't got a brilliant memory, but sometimes something somebody lets me know does somehow stick in my mind. One such memory I have concerns a patient I saw some years back. He had had a brain swelling ( I forget what sort ) removed, and had an interest in supporting his recovery and general health thru nourishment. During our consultation he remarked he had a boy that also had had a brain tumor.
I questioned if his doctors believed there was any genetic link.
He respon ...

- Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow
By: fin2000 | - Boom, Bang Ka-Pow. Reading these words will never have the same impact as hearing the real sounds in action. Written words (and hand gestures) are the way an ever-growing part of our population communicates, due to the worldwide increase in hearing loss.
Combine modern music players, cellphones, cars, trains, planes, lawnmowers and construction tools, with our need for dangerous decibels at concerts and on TV. For even more of an earful, there has been an increase in heavy machin ...

- 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.

- 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. As the neuroma worsens, pain may occur anytime you put weight on your feet (but will go away once you rest your feet). In the later stages of the condition, pain may last several days or even weeks.
People with Morton ...

- The Major Symptoms Of Tinnitus And The Way Of Treatment
By: Michael Anderson | - The chief symptoms of tinnitus are rather easy to detect. However, these symptoms, by nature, are far from being simple, due to the multiplicity of the several underlying factors that combine to generate the symptoms. For example, both ears of the patient are affected by tinnitus resulting from excess stress, while only one of the ears is affected by Acoustic Neuroma. If the ear drums of an individual get damaged, or the middle ear is seriously infected, (s)he can start hearing faint ringing noi ...

- Mismatched Feet
By: kent | - Its easy to look to the body as an example of perfect symmetry. Everything comes in twos: two eyes, two ears, two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet. And we expect these partners in crime to work together in a way that makes life easier. If your left eye doesnt see 20:20, perfect vision in your right eye can make the overall picture clearer. Different sized feet, however, are rarely able to compensate for each other without throwing your entire bodys a ...

- Why Airtube Headsets Are Safer Than Wireless Headsets
By: Paul Fitzgerald | - Cellular radiation fields are everywhere around us because there are mini microwaves of radiation coming from the cell phones we use everyday and these radiation waves are being allowed to transmit signals so close to our brains. Before cell phones were used, people were never exposed to electromagnetic fields so close to the brain. Additional exposure threats are present each time we drive a car and are very prevalent in the areas where our homes are built.
These exposure thr ...

Other factors that will cause this condition can be the specific architecture of a person's foot structure as well as occupational hazards ...
