Dr. Kurlanski has a product for almost every foot and ankle conditions. These are our favorites.
Podoexpert Foam with Urea
Podoexpert nourishing foam cream with urea for cracked and dry skin. It works by repairing and hydrating the protective skin layer on your feet and ankles. It also works great for diabetic patients. Check out our study on Podoexpert coming soon with before and after photos.
Dancer Pads
These adhesive felt pads are great for relieving pain in your big toe joint. The pad works by offloading pressure from the big toe to make walking around much more comfortable. The pads can be applied directly to the foot, sock liners or inserts.
Silicone Tape
When it comes to corns and callouses silicone tape always comes in handy. Silicone tape is a waterproof tape to decrease friction and pressure causing the “hot spots”. We also use it to help secure dressings on wounds. It stays on for a few days at a time even with showering.
5 Toe Buddy
The 5 Toe Buddy is great for relieving common toe pains. The gel device spaces out your toes to prevent irritation and pain. It works great on hammertoes and toes that crossover each other. We recommend wearing it for an hour per night to start. You can wear it while walking or even use it to stretch your toes as you sleep!
Kinesio Tape
We use A LOT of Kinesio tape on many different injuries at Lighthouse Foot and Ankle. The tape is also water-resistant, breathable and stays on for several days. This means that you can easily exercise, swim, and shower with it on without worrying about it coming off. Kinesio tape can be applied anywhere on the body, too!
