Ankle fatigue is no joke. There is no one better suited to understand your struggle with ankle discomfort than a podiatrist like Dr. Michele Kurlanski.

This is commonly known as “hammertoe,” a condition where the muscles within the affected toe begin to weaken and cause digital contracture, i.e. abnormal tightening, which results in the physical deformity of the toe.

Cases of hammertoe that have been left untreated can lead to impaired or complete immobility of the toes, resulting in not being able to flex or extend the toes at all.

For almost everyone with foot and ankle problems, orthotics are the way to go! Orthotics are a biomechanical medical devices designed exclusively to the shape and form of your feet.

An ingrown toenail happens when the nail on our toe begins to grow inward and can actually puncture back into our own skin, causing a painful wound that can wind up infected.

Of all the different kinds of ways our feet and ankles can experience aches and pains, some experiences are perceived as more of a concern than others.

If you haven’t been to see your podiatrist in a long time, you’re probably out of the loop when it comes to the newest generation of treatment for common podiatry issues. We can help get you all caught up!
