Getting your feet Winter Ready Priory Foot Clinic By Orla Flood Podiatrist Dublin based Foot Clinic Chilblains usually develop several hours after exposure to the cold. They typically cause a burning and itching sensation in the affected areas, which can become more intense if you go into a warm room. The affected skin may also swell and turn red or dark blue. In severe cases, the surface of the skin may break and sores or blisters can develop. It’s important not to scratch the skin as it can break easily and become infected.

What is biomechanics & biomechanical gait analysis? Biomechanics refers to the study of physical laws which govern human movement. As podiatrists, we are especially interested in the relationship between biomechanics and conditions affecting the foot and lower limb, which may also impact higher in the body such as in the hip and low back. Through understanding biomechanical abnormalities, we are able to identify faulty biomechanics that may require correction. At Myfeet Podaitry Clinics we conduct biomechanical gait analyses using specialised equipment to assist with the diagnosis of musculoskeletal, mechanical foot and lower limb problems. Our gait analysis program enables us to look specifically at the function of your foot and lower limb, identifying faulty biomechanics to guide appropriate treatment. Following a biomechanical gait analysis, we may prescribe a number of treatments to improve foot function. This can include stretching and strengthening exercises, activity advice, orthotics or footwear modification.

SWIFT is medical microwave technology that is highly effective at resolving verrucas, warts or papillomas. With a success rate of 83%, Swift verruca therapy has proven itself to be the best verruca therapy available. A focused microwave signal is emitted into the skin to a predetermined depth to ensure only the verruca is treated. A process called Heat Shock occurs within infected skin cells. This causes the verruca to release certain proteins into the circulatory system, allowing the immune system to recognise the infection and begin to fight the virus Book and Appointment today in out clinic to see what can be done for your feet. www.myfeet.ie 01-5397834 We have clinics based in Dublin and Athlone; Wicklow Street Podiatry Clinic 31 Wicklow Street Merrion Foot Clinic 23 Seafield Rd Blackrock Dublin Priory Foot Clinic 14 Priory Office Park Stillorgan Rd Dublin Athlone Foot Clinic Unit 2 95 Sean Costello Street Athlone Westmeath #clinicappointment #receptionteam #appointmentbooking #healthcare #footcare #footclinic #callus #visitus #myfeetclinic #podiatry #podiatricsportsmedicine #podiatry #clinics #orthotics #insoles #bunions #ingrowntoenails

What is an Orthotic? An orthotic has many descriptions: An external mechanical restraining device A realigning device A device that restores the natural shock-absorbing qualities of the foot. The objective of orthotics is to change the ground on which a patient’s walks to help fix their condition by correcting gait and posture. Like prescription glasses, orthotics are similar – they act as the corrective medium between the ground and the feet, just as the lenses in glasses are designed to correct specific types of vision. Also like glasses, it is crucial that orthotics are worn every day – they are not short-term fix. We believe that orthotics work by correcting the foundation of the body. While there are hundreds of different innersoles and orthotics available, they can usually be classified into one of three groups: Off the shelf devices These are a prefabricated product, available in several different sizes and thicknesses. Prescription Devices These are a Insoles prescribed by your Podiatrist with your gait and foot aliment as the product. They are not specific to your individual foot. Custom made devices Custom Insoles are manufactured from a scan of your foot, to a personal prescription created by your Podiatrist. This allows for a more specific treatment plan as the Podiatrist can accurately address the problem identified within your foot’s posture and function.

What is a fungal toenail and how do you get rid of it? What are the treatment options and how effective are they? It is estimated that 10% of Europeans have an active fungal toenail infection, making it one of the more common condition we see in our foot clinics. Fungal toenail infection constitutes approximately 50% of all toenail conditions. An active infection can be moderately contagious but thankfully risk of transmission to loved ones can be reduced when the condition is managed correctly. With proper assessment, diagnosis and an individually tailored treatment plan even the most severe cases can be resolved. At our foot clinics in Dublin patients can select from a comprehensive range of treatment options. When attending the clinic for the first time our honest and empathetic staff will discuss with you the various treatment modalities; their benefits, cost, success rates and potential side effects. If required in-house testing can also be performed to confirm diagnosis of fungal toenail infection on the spot. In some case your Podiatrist may also have to consult with your family GP to arrange prescription of oral antifungal medication. Fungal toenail infections as notoriously difficult to resolve but after you see one of our Podiatrists you can rest easy knowing each treatment plan is geared specifically to your needs to achieve the best outcome.

What is a bunion? Bunions are a deviation of the big toe where the big toe joint shifts toward the middle of the foot. This can be accompanied by symptoms including pain and a bony growth that turns into a large lump. Research shows that bunions are extremely prevalent in Ireland, affecting ⅓ of the population. Over the age of 60, it’s suggested to be as high as 70%. When left untreated bunions can also be linked to other risks and complications. Bunions are caused by a number of factors including a family history of bunions, footwear choices and the way you stand and walk, however misalignment of the foot is often the underlying cause. How is a bunion treated? You may have been told that bunion surgery is the only treatment option available however, there is an non surgical treatment for bunions. We have worked treating bunion without surgery for over 20 years. Conservative management, such as foot mobilisation, is most effective when treatment of the bunion begins as early as possible, even if the sufferer feels no pain. As a result, often by the time a bunion starts to be painful, significant irreversible damage has already occurred. Book and Appointment today in out clinic to see what can be done for your bunions. www.myfeet.ie 01-5397834 #bunion #foothealth #podiatry #bunionsurgery #noninvasivetreatment #footmobilisation #irishhealth #footcare #painrelief #bunionprevention #bigtoe #footdeformity #orthopedic #bunionawareness #irelandhealth #preventbunions #footalignment #bunionsolution #footwearchoices #bunionresearch #painmanagement

WHAT IS SWIFT®? Swift is a new technology, developed in the UK, which has been licensed for the general treatment of skin lesions, warts & Verruca in Podiatry and Dermatology. Swift uses microwave energy which is delivered through a special probe applied to the skin to treat the affected tissue. DOES IT HURT? It is not uncommon for patients to feel a sharp sensation, similar to an injection. Unlike most treatments for verruca, pain felt during the treatment quickly subsides and only lasts a matter of seconds. This is the most up to date technology in the treatment of verrucas. Swift Verruca Microwave Therapy passes cutting edge microwaves safely through the skins layers to ZAP that Verruca, leaving no burns or scarring without using any toxic chemicals allowing immediate return to full activity. There is no need for anaesthetics or pain relief medication. WHAT CAN I DO AFTER TREATMENT? There is no down time after treatment. No plasters. And you can return to activity & sport straight away. In some cases the treated area may feel sore but will not prevent you undertaking normal daily activities. HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED? The protocol for Swift treatment is 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart and a follow up appointment 12 weeks after the final treatment. Treatment success was achieved by 83% of patients following these guidelines. As each individual case is different some patients required further treatment after the 12 week period. CAN ANYONE RECEIVE THIS TREATMENT? With a few exceptions, most people with skin lesions would be able to have this treatment. Your Podiatrist will carry out an assessment prior to treatment and be able to advise you on this. #running #backpain #kneepain #Podiatrist #anklepain #southDublin #plantarfasciitis #diabetes #diabetic #podiatrist #podiatryclinic #footcare #prioryfootclinic #southdublin #feetproblems #medical #podiatrylife #heelpainrelief #verruca #verrucas #swifttreatment #plantarfasciitisrelief #Athlone #dublin #footdoc #booterstown #mountmerrion #stillorgan #chiropody #podiatry

Delighted to have a student from @unigalwaypodmed who will be heading to Tanzania for five weeks to work with The Olive Branch for Childrens “Feet First” Programme. "Hello, our names are Emer, Órla, Eva and Michelle, and we are final year Podiatry students in the University of Galway. This summer, we will be travelling to Mbeya, Tanzania for five weeks to work with The Olive Branch for Childrens “Feet First” Programme.  The Olive Branch for Children helps remote communities in Tanzania by assessing their primary needs and establishes programs that target the most vulnerable in those communities. They focus on community health care, HIV/AIDS prevention and care, early childhood education, food security, environmental issues, gender equality, and vulnerable children and women. Their goal is to establish community-led programs that empower remote communities and generate models that can be replicated in communities throughout Tanzania. Health care services are provided by local workers who work with The Olive Branch, to improve the standard of health across the rural Mbeya region.  As soon to be qualified podiatrists, we will be volunteering as part of the Feet First Programme, one of many programmes run by the Olive Branch. It not only focuses on the treatment of wounds caused by Diabetes, Leprosy, and other Chronic Illnesses, but also traumatic wounds, caused by minor or major accidents. This programme further provides treatment and management of lower limb problems such as arthritis, neuropathy, plantar fasciitis and fungal infections. There is further provision of at-home services to ensure all patients are able to get the care needed and become healthy and active members of society again.   We would appreciate your support through donations and shares and you can follow the link below to learn more about The Olive Branch for Children and their multitude of programs  All donations are appreciated and will go directly to The Olive Branch and allow all their local workers to continue their provision of vital health care services, education and community support. Thank you!"   https://gofund.me/3bf1227a

Diabetes can affect the feet in a number of ways. It is therefore of the utmost importance to have regular appointments and check the feet often. Peripheral Neuropathy: When your blood glucose levels are elevated for an extended period of time it can damage sensation in the peripheries of the body i.e., hands, feet. This damage to nerves can result in a condition called peripheral neuropathy, symptoms of which include numbness, tingling and burning. Patients who develop this are at risk of developing foot ulcers , as they may not feel cuts, blisters and other injuries on the feet. How to Care for Your Feet: -Check them regularly for any abnormalities e.g. Corns, Callus, Cuts, Blisters -Wash feet daily with warm water -Dry between the toes thoroughly as these area can split easily -Do not walk barefoot -Wear well fitting footwear -Speak to your podiatrist about cutting your nails correctly. If you have any impairment to cutting your own nails have a podiatrist to do them for you If you have and questions or concerns regarding your foot health and diabetes, contact your local podiatrist for a consultation. #podiatrist #podiatryclinic #merrion #orthotics #insoles #footclinic #clinic #mountmerrion #stillorgan #chiropody #podiatry #footdoctor #diabetes #diabetic #diabetes #diabeticfootcare

Sever’s disease, also known as calcaneal apophysis, is one of the most common causes of heel pain in growing children and adolescents. It affects the growth plate, located at the back of the heel where bone growth occurs. It is usually influenced by stress on the body during a growth spurt. Generally affects children between the ages of 8-14 years. Symptoms: Symptoms are often initiated by activities such as running and jumping. Symptoms include pain at the posterior heel, swelling and tenderness. Treatment: Treatment of Sever’s Disease varies depending upon the severity, generally focusing on reducing pain and swelling. It is important to reduce high impact exercise during this time and focus on low impact activity such as swimming. In most cases, symptoms resolve within a few weeks with the correct management. Management: ● Appropriate footwear: Elevation of the heel will reduce pressure exerted on the growth plate ● Gel heel pads: To provide cushioning to the heel and reduce shock absorption ● Anti Inflammatory medication: Ibuprofen, where needed ● Ice: 2 x 10 minutes daily ● Stretching and strengthening exercises: Advised by your Podiatrist with focus on reducing pressure on the growth plates #podiatryclinic #podiatrist #merrion #orthotics #insoles #footclinic #clinic #mountmerrion #stillorgan #chiropody #podiatry #footdoctor

Merry Christmas! Wishing you a season full of light and laughter for you and your family.

Cold weather can be difficult for your body, especially the feet. Low temperatures make it difficult for our body to transport warm blood to the extremities i.e. feet and hands. Therefore it is important to keep them warm in order to prevent injurys due to numb feet and icy paths. It is also important to do this correctly as doing so too quickly may cause burns, blisters or chilblains. Wear warm, breathable socks: Socks which are made of natural fibres ensure the feet do not sweat while in the shoe, encouraging fungal infection. Change the socks throughout the day if they become damp. Boots: Wear a shoe suitable for suitable for the icy conditions outside. A boot will keep your feet dry and protected but will also provide better grip when walking in comparison to a runner. Examples include: Mephisto, Reiker and Dr Marten Slowly Warm the Feet: When coming in from outside it may bne tempting to put your feet in front of the fire/radiator. This rapid heat change can cause our blood vessels to constrict quickly resulting in painful/itchy chilblains. To avoid this make slower transitions from warm to cold i.e. put on a thick pair of socks over placing the feet in front of a direct source of heat. Moisturise: Cold weather can cause our feet to dry and crack. Therefore a urea based moisturiser is an essential during the winter period. Examples include CCS, Eucerin and Silcox Base. #podiatrist #podiatryclinic #orthotics #footclinic #clinic #mountmerrion #chiropody #podiatry #footdoctor #footcare #feetcare #feet

What is a hammer toe? ●Hammer toe is a foot deformity, caused due to an imbalance in the muscles, ligaments and tendons, that hold the toe in a straight position ● It presents with an abnormal bend in the middle joint of the toe. It most commonly affects the 21nd, 3rd or 4th toe Symptoms: ● Pain: Due to the abnormal bending of the toe ● Corns and callus: due pressure and friction within footwear Causes: ● Footwear: Ill fitting shoes with a narrow toe box eg. high heels ● Trauma: Previous injury or trauma to the toe can leave it more susceptible to developing a hammer toe ● Imbalance between the muscles of the toes, leading to instability and scrunching of the toes Treatment: ● Footwear advice - accommodating footwear with a deep toe box ● Routine care - manage callus and corns forming over the joint ● Padding and strapping - to reduce pressure and friction ● Referral to orthopaedics if needed

Shoes play an important factor in our overall foot health throughout all ages, however, as we age, they become more important as the risk of falls increase. Fit: A well-fitting shoe is imperative in the prevention of trips and falls. A shoe that is too big will cause the foot to slip and the heel to lift at the heel counter. A shoe that is too small will cause injury and pain the foot causing the wearer to lose balance during the gait cycle. Grip also plays a role in preventing injury, ensuring a good grip will prevent slipping in the home or outside. Along with this the weight of the shoe should be considered. Heavy shoes will cause a shuffling gait and affect balance during the gait cycle. Checking the Shoe: Check the Heel Counter - is the back of the shoe supportive enough or can I press the heel counter down? Toe Flexibility - is the toe box able to bend? You should have approximately 60° of flexibility at the toe box. Rigidity - can I bend the shoe over on it self? Will the foot be supported in the shoe? The shoe shoe should not bend at the middle. Shoe Examples: · Brooks · Hoka · Asics · Orthofeet · Doctor Comfort · Cozy Feet #footclinic #clinic #stillorgan #chiropody #footdoctor #insoles #podiatry #podiatrist #podiatryclinic #podiatry #shoes #feet #feetcare

Swift is a new technology which uses microwave therapy in order to treat soft tissue lesions such as verrucas. Through a specialised probe it delivers a precise and highly controlled dose of microwave energy. This allows the treatment to travel and treat infected tissue which can exist several millimetres below the skin surface (making it difficult to treat through traditional methods i.e. salicylic acid). Swift stimulates an immune response, therefore treating the root cause of the verruca (HPV). The efficacy of Swift is significantly higher compared to other treatments available. Who can receive Swift treatment? Most people are eligible to receive Swift treatment, however, there are a few exceptions. Your podiatrist will carry out an assessment of this on your consultation. What to Expect: Our protocol for this treatment is 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart with a follow up appointment 12 weeks following the final treatment. This number can vary depending on the lesions' response to treatment. Factors such as length of time the verruca has been in place or its size can affect this - each individual case is different and your clinician will be able to guide you on this. The treatment takes just minutes and requires no dressings / anaesthesia / at home treatments between appointments. Pain is variable and patient specific, minor discomfort is to be expected with most describing it like an injection or burning feeling. This pain lasts a short while and immediately subsides upon cessation of the treatment and there is no prevention to return to daily activity. If you suspect you have a verruca contact a podiatrist as soon as possible.

Conservative management of the presenting symptoms. ● Rest/reduction in activity - for the recommended period of time ● Advice regarding suitable footwear - that offer adequate cushioning to the forefoot and have a wide toe-box ● Custom orthotics - to relieve the symptoms and deflect stress from the area ● Ice - 10 minutes twice daily

What is it? Sesamoiditis is inflammation of the tendons attached to the sesamoid bones, located at the base of the big toe (as shown in the image attached). Sesamoid bones act like a pulley, allowing the tendons to run smoothly over the joint. What causes it? ● Sesamoiditis is caused due to overuse of tendons associated with the sesamoid bones ● Ill fitting footwear can result in repetitive trauma to the tendons eg. High heels ● High impact activities eg. Running, basketball Signs & Symptoms ● Inflammation and swelling ● Bruising ● Pain at the big toe joint ● Difficulty bending or straightening the big toe What can we do? ● Reduce activity for the recommended time ● Ice the area twice daily for 10 minutes to reduce inflammation ● Advice regarding the necessary footwear to offer cushioning and support ● In some cases, taping may be necessary to relieve pressure on the toe #merrion #footclinic #clinic #mountmerrion #stillorgan #chiropody #footdoctor #feet #prioryfootclinic #footproblems
