Welcome to Dr. Mike’s Online Medical Store - December 2008 Newsletter
Deploying detailed Care and Expertise
Do you have pins and needles often in your feet? Do you have leg pain even after exercising? Do you have prickling or burning sensations that are called paresthesias in your legs? Any pain-like feeling or pain needs immediate medical attention. Peripheral vascular disease is a disease of the arteries that supply blood to the legs and the arms.
Structured with detailed care and expertise, the podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry near San Jose, California, deploy precision and skill with in-depth analysis and diagnosis to offer their patients comfort and a quality lifestyle. Treating the cause/s with experience and expertise, the doctors at the Cupertino Podiatry offer advice to their patients with customized care and also work in tandem with the patients' care providers.
Pain in the legs and arms can be due to various causes. Some of the symptoms of PVD or peripheral vascular disease may be manifest in leg pain, leg pain relieved by rest, leg pain worse with exercise and leg pain at rest. The symptoms also extend to pale leg, leg coldness, leg numbness, scaly leg skin, dry leg skin, slow healing leg skin rash and leg ulcers. Though less common than symptoms of problems in the leg, arms also exhibit the same kind of symptoms.
Other conditions such as deafness, peripheral neuropathy, arterial disease, Lipoproteinemia, Dyslipidemia and Sneddon Syndrome also display symptoms of peripheral vascular disease. PVD also causes the leg to become cramped or hurts when you walk or climb stairs. The pain resolves upon rest, but starts again when moving. This is called intermittent claudication and is a sign of peripheral vascular disease or poor circulation. The vessels that carry blood to the lower part of the body may be come narrow or may be blocked and resulting in PVD that causes the foot tissue to die if neglected. This will lead to gangrene and amputation.
The doctors at Cupertino Podiatry render unique skill and know-how besides treating the cause with accuracy and impeccable treatment.
Rendering in-depth Treatment
Invariably PVD is found in most adults as they age and is also a result of the build-up of plaque like fat and other deposits. This is likely to cause a block or narrow the blood vessels. It is important to keep your feet warm in winter as PVD can raise the risk of frostbite. In severe cases, the plaque buildup stops the blood from flowing and the leg muscles cramp as the tissues deteriorate and night pains are caused due to this. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry execute a physical examination of the leg that involves looking for cracks or infections and the color of the feet. They suggest diagnostic tests such as a Doppler exam where your leg can be checked for blockages if any. They would recommend an arteriogram where dye is injected into your blood vessels and a series of x-rays are taken. The dye in the blood vessels appears in the x-rays indicating any blockages or narrowing of arteries.
The doctors at Cupertino Podiatry offer professional medical advice and give on-time treatment that involves taking care of any underlying causes. They suggest changes in the patients' lifestyle such as taking care of the feet to avoid foot ulcers and also to stop smoking. The podiatrists also prescribe medications and recommend vasodilators, surgery in extreme cases, amputation in cases of neglect and angioplasty. The medical tests would include Ultrasound and Doppler Ultrasonography. Some of the underlying causes of PVD are Atherosclerosis, Diabetes, Hypertension, Buerger's Disease and Reynaid's Phenomenon with smoking as an aggravation. Foot care and protection of the feet are a must and the doctors at the clinic render sound advice with strict follow-up and adherence to diet and exercise. They also lay much stress on controlling any underlying causes in order to prevent peripheral vascular disease. Offering care, treatment and advice, the doctors at Cupertino Podiatry give their patients comfort and a pain-free lifestyle in order to value health as the wealth of life.

Welcome to Dr. Mike’s Online Medical Store - November 2008 Newsletter
Rendering Precise Expertise in Podiatry
Is there an unusual swelling on your foot? Does this growth vary in size from time to time? Have you checked with your doctor regarding any pain and discomfort that you might feel? But there is no need to fell unduly alarmed. Ganglions are often mistaken for tumors. It is imperative that you should not ignore pain and swelling. A complete examination is necessary with tests according to the diagnosis. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry near San Jose, California render expert care and thorough examination with precise diagnosis. With years of study and experience, the doctors at the clinic with skilled know-how and advice offer detailed and accurate care.
It is important to know what a ganglion is. A ganglion is a swelling of a tendon or joint that is filled with fluid. They are slow in growth and tend to vary in size from a small swelling to the size of a golf ball. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry lay much emphasis on self-examination of the feet. This would enable patients to recognize any unusual symptoms and report the signs to their caregivers or doctors. There are different causes for ganglions. People who are used to wearing boots tend to get ganglions as the structure of the boots cause stress to the ankle and the foot. Bony outgrowths aggravate tendons and joints and cause ganglions. Continuous irritation weakens the lining of a tendon or a joint, thereby causing ganglions.
Care with a Special Touch
The swelling or the growth forms almost often with no symptoms. If the ganglion is close to a nerve then it puts pressure on the nerve and the skin around it causing pain, numbness and tingling. If swelling occurs, the size of the ganglion may change according to various activities or if there is a change in the weather. The doctors at Cupertino Podiatry question their patients methodically about the signs, the period of time, activities and the symptoms. A translumination exam is often rendered which involves shining a light through the swelling. This is done when the podiatrist suspects that the swelling is a ganglion as this does not help to detect a tumor. When the foot is palpated or pressed, the ganglion is spongy to the touch and the fluid is felt moving around. In case the doctors at the clinic suspect a bone spur, then they suggest x-rays. Needle aspiration for removal of fluid would be done to manage pain and the degree of selling.
The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry render in-depth analysis with MRI or magnetic resonance imaging, tests and accurate medication. In order to confirm that the swelling is a ganglion, an MRI would be conducted which reveals images of the bone and the surrounding tissues. In some cases, special dyes would be injected into the affected area which displays the outline of the ganglion. If there is continuous pain or severe discomfort, the doctors suggest surgery. This process involves removal of the ganglion wall and some of the tissue around the ganglion may also be removed with surgery. After the surgery, there will be swelling, numbness, tingling and pain for some weeks. Invariably the patient can walk soon after the surgery, but the foot would be encased in a cast. If any discomfort is felt later, the patient has to report it to the doctor. But there is a chance that the ganglion will recur even though the surgery has given immediate relief.
Ganglions have been difficult to treat and non-surgical methods have helped in relieving symptoms. The non-surgical care involves pads being placed around the ganglion to relieve the friction and the pressure. Fluid removal can be done though it does not guarantee recurrence of the ganglion. The patient can limit activities and movements to decrease pain. The area around the ganglion may be treated with an ice pack for 20 minutes to relieve pain and inflammation. Medications would be prescribed by the doctor if symptoms are severe. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry offer professional treatment and advice to their patients to relieve discomfort so that they may lead normal lifestyles.

Welcome to Dr. Mike’s Online Medical Store - October 2008 Newsletter
Solving Problems of the Feet with Care
Do you have a persistent pain or any other abnormal symptom in your feet? Do you have an inexplicable redness in any area of the feet? Is there any swelling that you have ignored? Diabetes mellitus can do untold damage to the kidneys, eyes, blood vessels and nerves. Besides organs being damaged, the immunity system is also impaired. Diabetes can be manifested in various ways with problems developing in the feet which can become serious. When the nervous system is affected, people with diabetes find it difficult to detect any feeling in the feet. There is also impairment of the oil and sweat secretion which are lubricants causing the skin to break down and as a result sores form. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry, California render their expertise with thorough examination and diagnose the cause of the diabetic conditions of the feet.
The experts at Cupertino Podiatry showcase their skills with know-how and knowledge and diagnose the condition with precision and accuracy. With the blood vessels and the immune system being affected in neglected cases of diabetes, bacterial infection of the skin occur which affects muscles, connective tissues and the bones. This will cause pain, swelling and redness in areas of the feet. This may lead to gangrene as the poor blood flow will not be able to carry preventive medicines and antibiotics to the damaged portion of the leg or feet. In cases like these, amputation would be the only answer as the infection would invade the bloodstream and become life-threatening. The doctors at Cupertino Podiatry render quality foot care with keen insight so that the limbs of their patients can be saved.
Rendering Quality Treatment
Offering detailed care and informative advice, the podiatrists at the clinic instruct their patients to detect the problems of the foot in its early stages and to get treatment. With modern medicine, treatment for diabetic foot problems has seen improvement, but prevention is the key answer with control of blood sugar to keep sugar levels normal. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry stress on self-examination of the feet so that patients would be able to recognize symptoms and signs of diabetic foot problems. With guidance and strict adherence to information on diabetic foot problems, the doctors at the clinic instruct their patients on the routine of home foot care and when they should call their doctor. They should also recognize the seriousness of a problem and inform their podiatrist at the right time, so that they can get emergency treatment.

Welcome to Dr. Mike’s Online Medical Store - September 2008 Newsletter
Walk into a Quality Lifestyle
Do you have a pain in the area of the big toe or sometimes around the smallest toe while walking or standing? Has the shape of your feet changed? Do you have any abnormal formation of the bones of the foot? Affecting more women than men, bunions are enlargements that are often noticed in the inner portion of the joint at the base of the big toe. As an extra growth of the bone, bunions are accompanied by pain, tenderness and redness of the inflamed area. A small sac filled with fluid can be found close to the joint, which can also lead to a painful condition. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry, Cupertino, California, deploy detail care and minute examination to relieve you of pain so that you can live a quality lifestyle.
Bunions are quite painful and prevent people from experiencing a normal daily routine. The doctors at Cupertino Podiatry are well versed in conditions of the foot and rectify the damage due to diseases of the foot. With keen knowledge and professional advice, the podiatrists at the clinic direct their patients to wear sturdy and comfortable footwear. It has been known that wearing high heels, narrow-toed and tight shoes contribute to the growth of bunions. Bunions occur more frequently in people who wear shoes than those who walk barefoot. Genetic factors also cause the development of bunions and are very common among ballet dancers. Bunions also occur in those people who have a congenital abnormal formation of the bones in the foot, nerve problems and injuries that affect the foot and those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
Experience Expert Advice at its Best
The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry assess the situation with the help of x-rays and go into an in-depth survey of the joints of the foot. The x-rays reveal any other condition affecting the foot such as gout or arthritis and are also useful to calculate the alignment of the toes. The doctors at the podiatric clinic render advice on the correct footwear, anti-inflammation medications and cold packs to ease the pain and swelling. The podiatrists direct their patients to a pain-free way of life by resting the affected foot, to avoid walking long distances and to wear sensible comfortable footwear that does not stretch the big toe outward.
The professionals at Cupertino Podiatry advise stretching exercises that eases the tension on the inner portion of the joint of a bunion. The doctors recommend bunion splints and custom insoles or shoe inserts (orthoses) that provide relief and support besides repositioning the foot. Sometimes in extreme cases, they relieve intense pain with a local cortisone injection.
The podiatrists at the clinic in Cupertino prescribe antibodies in case of any skin breakdown or infection with strong instructions on footwear and foot care. Surgical procedures are rendered to patients who suffer from continuous pain. This involves realigning the joint with tight tendons being removed or cut and shaving of the bony growth of the bunion. With years of expertise, the podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry offer their patients the best results that would help them to walk into a comfortable mode of life.

Welcome to Dr. Mike’s Online Medical Store - August 2008 Newsletter
Explore a Quality Lifestyle
Everyone has experienced foot pain at one time or the other. Sometimes it's sporadic and at times nagging and constant. Have you felt consistent pain in the foot? Have you noticed if your feet ache when walking long distances or with a particular kind of footwear? Do you have a specific foot disorder? The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry, Cupertino, California, find solutions to ease your pain and heal foot ailments. Extending their experience and expertise, the doctors at the clinic treat the problem with detailed care to prevent further deformities and injuries. Evaluating the severity of the problem, the podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry delve into an in-depth analysis to find out if there is a family history of congenital or acquired disorders of the foot.
Having a foot problem which is painful often leads to the patient cutting down on activities which results in not living a quality life. The doctors at Cupertino Podiatry are dedicated to keeping their patients on their feet and to move into a comfortable and pain-free lifestyle. The podiatrists observe carefully all the signs and symptoms of the patient's gait and position of the foot. They also inspect the footwear to see if it has added to the problem. The podiatrists at the clinic recommend the right type of footwear and suggest corrective measures with foot care products.
A Spectrum of Comfort
Foot pain is quite common amongst persons of all age groups and they are caused by a variety of foot disorders. Treatment of foot pain, regardless of the cause, involves use of more accommodating footwear. Shoe inserts are very helpful in this regard. There are foot products that help relieve different types of foot pain.
1. Heel Cups
Gel heel cups help alleviate foot pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Patients with different foot ailments prefer different foot products, but most patients favor the heel cups. The gel heel cups provide padding support for the heel by cradling and preventing direct shock to the heel. The Heel Cup also elevates the hind foot minimizing the pressure on the pain-ridden area.
2. Arch Supports
Arch supports are very useful in the treatment of a variety of
foot problems, like overpronation and flat foot. In some cases, a custom orthotic may be needed, but for most patients, a readily available standardized arch support will suffice. Arch supports help as the weight of the body on the feet is ranged well over the support. As a result balance improves and helps the feet from supinating and or pronating.
3. Heel Wedges
Heel wedges are shoe inserts that are placed in the back of the shoe. The wedge has the tendency to slightly elevate the heel and can remove foot pressure off the hind foot. Heel wedges are primarily used for the treatment of Achilles Tendon. Some patients also find heel wedges useful for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, pronation or supination applications and other problems, as well as medial collateral ligament on the inner side of the knee.
4. Metatarsal Pads
Metatarsal pads reduce pressure under the ball of the foot called metatarsalgia. When a patient is suffering from foot pain under the ball of the foot, metatarsal pads relieve these symptoms.

Welcome to Dr. Mike’s Online Medical Store - July 2008 Newsletter
Leaving a Trail of Tell-Tale Imprints
Do you know that your feet can tell a story? Do you know that feet can display symptoms of health ailments? Do you know that foot problems increase with age? The human foot is indeed a complex formation with 26 bones, 33 joints, and numerous tendons, muscles, and ligaments and as such anything can go wrong over persistent usage. Some foot problems may be inherited while others occur because of wear and tear with aging. Foot sores can cause foot pain, dry skin, thickened or discolored nails, swelling, inflammation and walking discomfort. Pain in the feet can travel to the legs, hips, and back. Some foot problems, if not promptly attended to, can even be a symptom for a larger and more serious disease. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry, Cupertino, California, diagnose each problem with utmost care to secure relief for their patients.
Toenails that are rounded inward instead of outward may be due to iron deficiency. Kidney disease, urinary disorders, cardiac ailment, high blood pressure, and blood circulatory problems can lead to foot swelling. Tingling or numbness in the feet and slow-healing wounds are symptoms of diabetes. Chronic stiffness in the toes could be a sign of arthritis. A foot problem that is apparently minor like a fungal infection or sores on the feet, can turn serious in a person with diabetes or other blood circulatory problems. Patients suffering from diabetes may experience neuropathy in the feet - a condition that affects the nerves leading to an inability to feel pain and heat or cold. Advising their patients to pay immediate attention to symptoms, the doctors at the podiatric clinic educate and instill knowledge in their patients while rendering customized treatment and timely help deploying the latest in foot care with state-of-the-art equipment and medication.
Secure Relief with Prompt Help
Feet should also be checked daily for any cuts and sores particularly when you reach old age. Early detection of any foot ailment and prompt medical attention is important because a foot problem can suddenly turn serious. High heels and ill-fitting shoes that squeeze the feet can cause a host of foot problems. Some common problems arising out of tight shoes include nerve growths called neuromas, corns, calluses, blisters, and hammertoes - a condition in which the toes are bent like a claw. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry not only go into an in-depth study of each case, but follow up the treatment with efficiency thereby giving the patient a chance to live a quality and a pain-free life.
Feet should be washed every day with soap and lukewarm water, especially between the toes, and then dried completely with a soft towel. Any mild soap or antibacterial hand soap works fine. Proper foot hygiene can prevent occurrence of many foot problems. Please visit the foot pain relief store at: http://www.ourdoctorstore.com/cornelison/ to buy online products for all foot problems.

Welcome to Dr. Mike’s Online Medical Store - June 2008 Newsletter
Enjoy the Freedom of Life
Sometimes due to the stress of life, we tend to ignore pain in the lower extremities. As we try to race against time in order to keep up with trends, we do not give importance to our feet or the pain that occurs frequently. It is imperative that we see a podiatrist to determine the cause of any kind of foot disorder. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry, Cupertino, California, have focused their expertise and experience to relieve their patients from pain in the feet so that they can go about their daily lives normally.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, people tend to suffer from unusual symptoms. The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry are trained to diagnose the cause accurately, however complex the situation like inexplicable tingling or burning in the feet. This can lead to the Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. The tarsal tunnel is a narrow space that lies alongside the ankle bones on the inside. This tunnel has a protective thick ligament that safeguards the structures contained within - like arteries, veins, tendons, and nerves. At times, the symptoms may even extend to the heel, arch, toes, and the calf. Sometimes one or many of these symptoms may appear suddenly. Otherwise they occur due to aggravation by overuse of the foot - such as in prolonged standing, walking, exercising, or beginning a new exercise program. Patients suffering from tarsal tunnel syndrome experience tingling, burning, or an electric shock-like sensation, numbness or shooting foot pain on the inside of the ankle and/or on the bottom of the foot and can buy products to relive foot pain at Dr. Mike’s Foot Store.

The podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry advise you to seek early treatment, in case symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome occur. If neglected, the syndrome may result in permanent nerve damage. The foot doctor will examine the affected foot to determine the presence of the syndrome. During this examination, the foot doctor will position the foot and tap on the nerve to see if the symptoms can be reproduced. It is important to know that the symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome can be confused with other conditions and therefore proper medical evaluation is essential for correct diagnosis. Traditional treatment involves foot support, which is extremely helpful when the patient has flat feet. Anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed and sometimes steroid injections are administered.
Foot surgery has to be resorted to, if these conventional treatments fail. An incision is made into the tissues to allow room for expansion of the nerve or for removal of a cyst or any other growth that is compressing the nerve. Please visit the foot pain relief store at: http://www.ourdoctorstore.com/cornelison/ to buy online products for all foot problems.

Welcome to Dr. Mike’s Online Medical Store - May 2008 Newsletter
Stand Steady, Solid and Sure...
Has aging pulled the rug from under your feet? Do you find it difficult to keep your stance? Do foot problems make you watch your step too often? Very often, foot problems increase with age. Some foot problems may be inherited while others occur because of wear and tear with aging. The human foot is indeed a complex formation with 26 bones, 33 joints, and numerous tendons, muscles, and ligaments and as such anything can go wrong over persistent usage. Providing relief with detailed care the podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry, Cupertino, California, reach into the foot of the problem to offer comfort and care.
As one of the signs of aging, foot sores can cause foot pain, dry skin, thickened or discolored nails, swelling, inflammation and walking discomfort. Pain in the feet can travel to the legs, hips, and back. Some foot problems, if not promptly attended to, can even be a symptom for a larger disease. The doctors at Cupertino Podiatry offer customized care to put you back on your feet so you can lead a normal pain-free life. Sometimes with age or if patients have neglected themselves, a foot problem that is apparently minor like a fungal infection or sores on the feet, can turn serious in a person with diabetes or other blood circulatory problems. Patients suffering from diabetes may experience neuropathy in the feet - a condition that affects the nerves leading to an inability to feel pain and heat or cold. The podiatrists at the clinic diagnose the problem and focus on in-depth treatment to ensure relief.
Focus on a Balanced Life...
Focusing on the well-being of their patients, the podiatrists at Cupertino Podiatry offer their experience and skills to educate and heal. Toenails that are rounded inward instead of outward may be due to iron deficiency. Kidney disease, urinary disorders, cardiac ailment, high blood pressure, and blood circulatory problems can lead to foot swelling. Tingling or numbness in the feet and slow-healing wounds are symptoms of diabetes. Chronic stiffness in the toes could be a sign of arthritis.
Treating their patients with expertise and sound knowledge, the doctors at the podiatric clinic also offer advice to the elderly patients. Feet should also be checked daily for any cuts and sores particularly when you reach old age. Early detection of any foot ailment and prompt medical attention is important because a foot problem can suddenly turn serious. High heels and ill-fitting shoes that squeeze the feet can cause a host of foot problems. Some common problems arising out of tight shoes include nerve growths called neuromas, corns, calluses, blisters, and hammertoes - a condition in which the toes are bent like a claw.
Feet should be washed every day with soap and lukewarm water, especially between the toes, and then dried completely with a soft towel. Any mild soap or antibacterial hand soap works fine. Proper foot hygiene can prevent occurrence of many foot problems. Please visit the foot pain relief store at: http://www.ourdoctorstore.com/cornelison/ to buy online products for all foot problems. Dr. Mike’s Foot Store (Medical Product Store) aims to give patients affordable and convenient access to the products especially made for Foot problems.

Welcome to Dr. Mike’s Online Medical Store - February 2008 Newsletter
Add Comfort to your Life
Have the long winter months damaged your feet? Did the harsh weather affect you? Does the skin on your heels look dry and cracked? If so, There is a solution! Just relax and let Cupertino Podiatry restore your skin back to its normal condition. As a condition that occurs during dry weather, dry, cracked skin or ’xeorosis’ can happen to anyone. This occurs when the body is not able to provide natural oils and moisture. Although cracked skin on the heels is only a cosmetic problem, it feels and looks unpleasant. Cracked heels get relatively worse during winter months and affect those who live in dry climates. The professionals at Cupertino Podiatry treat all foot related conditions to give you a healthy and pain-free lifestyle.
Dry cracked skin as a foot problem occurs on the inner and outer margins of the heels. The thickening and cracking gets deeper with neglect and eventually ends in damaging the dermis layer of the skin that makes walking painful and uncomfortable. This condition often leads to foot bleeding, infection and serious complications. For people with diabetes and impaired vascular sufficiency, heel cracks should not be allowed to deteriorate. The podiatrists at the Cupertino Clinic are trained to detect and treat main causes of cracked heels which are often related to hot, dry weather, and constantly walking with no shoes or just sandals, inactive sweat glands and obesity.
Offering the Assurance of Experience
Offering advice and constant care at Cupertino Podiatry, the doctors often recommend the use of moisturizers that increase water absorption, which replaces the soft, moist and healthy skin. It is also advisable to use a pumice stone or emery board to get rid of dry skin. The professionals at the clinic also advise their patients to wear shoes with sufficient shock absorbing qualities or with good cushioning insoles. Offering the assurance of experience, Cupertino Podiatry delves into the root cause of the problem to offer you their expertise in order to relieve your discomfort.
