DIY treatment rarely works long-term and often leads to serious infection. In the following blog, The Foot Center Inc. explains why ingrowns happen, why you shouldn’t fix them yourself, and how easy the professional solution actually is.
It often starts subtly. You’re trying to sleep, and you feel a strange, persistent tingling or burning in your feet. Or, as you walk, your feet feel “asleep” and numb, even though you’re moving. This collection of symptoms is known as peripheral neuropathy. It’s a sign of nerve damage, and in this blog, The Foot Center will explain it in detail.
The reality, however, is that foot and ankle surgery has changed dramatically. Many of today’s most effective procedures are minimally invasive, designed to get you back on your feet faster and with significantly less pain than the surgeries of the past. In this blog, The Foot Center Inc. will walk you through some of the modern surgical options available, then explain when you should consider them (and why).
September is Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Awareness Month, a perfect time to focus on the critical connection between diabetes, your circulation, and your foot health. And in the following blog, that’s exactly what The Foot Center will do!

Summer means outdoor sports are on the rise. And that means more foot and ankle injuries for us to treat! Traditionally, treating stubborn conditions like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis might involve lengthy rest or painful injections. But at the Foot Center Inc., we believe in helping you heal AND get back to your sport faster. And we do it with cutting-edge, non-invasive laser therapy.
