Premier Foot in McKinney Can Handle All Your Orthotic Issues
When it comes to keeping healthy and fit, it can be easy to forget all about our feet. After all, there are so many other issues we are warned against, we can easily take for granted two of our most important body parts. Yet when you think about all we use our feet for; standing, walking, jogging, running – it is clear that we should not let proper foot health fall by the wayside. Our McKinney TX podiatrists at Premier Foot can assist you in providing the proper podiatric care for you and your family, starting at a young age.
Pediatric orthotic care can be crucial in fighting foot pain from a young age. Whether the problem is general foot pain, club foot, flat feet, in-toe and out-toe walking, or any other foot problem plaguing your child or infant, it is imperative to seek the advice of an experienced podiatrist today. These issues won’t go away on their own, but with the proper podiatry care from Premier Foot, they can. If your child is experiencing uneven shoe wear, lumps or bumps on the feet, skin or toenail problems, persistent foot pain, or frequent tripping or falling, rely on us today to provide your child with the proper care.
But as we know, some foot pain can linger into your adult years, or not appear at all until then. Our podiatrists offer custom orthotics, either to treat current ailments or prevent them from occurring. There are two types of custom orthotics: functional and accommodative. Functional orthotics are used to prevent repetitive stress injuries, as well as put a stop to uncomfortable pronation, where the ankle turns outward. Accommodative orthotics are often used with pediatric podiatry, designed to stop foot problems and mild pain before they become more severe.
With any comments, questions, or to schedule a custom orthotics appointment, call us today at 972-424-8999 or visit us online today.

Plano TX Nerve Decompression Surgery for Morton’s Neuroma
Foot pain may be the result of many things and often short exercises can help alleviate such pain. Sometimes you find yourself with unbearable burning, tingling, and numbness as the result of possible nerve damage that has swollen and produced a more severe problem. Always have your local Plano TX podiatrist diagnose any foot problem as they use the most advanced technology and cutting edge diagnosis methods.
Morton’s Neuroma is a swelling and compression of the nerves, often pinched, that occurs between the third and fourth toes. This location on the foot is the most common area a neuroma will form although it can occur between the other inside set of toes and the heel. Proper diagnosis of a neuroma will determine the plan for foot rehabilitation or surgery depending on how far along the discomfort has progressed.
Historically, neuroma treatment involves cortisone injections, orthotics, or surgery to relieve the compression in the nerve. Cortisone injections are most common and relieve the inflammation, releasing the pressure on the nerve. Where there is more significant nerve damage, cutting edge technology used by Premier Foot & Ankle of Plano may be employed.
As seen on News 8 in Dallas, a minimally invasive nerve decompression surgery, or MIND can be effective in treating Morton’s Neuroma.
Don’t wait to have your foot or ankle problem diagnosed by a local podiatry specialist in Plano. Premier Foot & Ankle can help so make an appointment today by calling to schedule an appointment or visiting us online.

Laser Treatment for Toenail Fungus
With the summer heat upon us, the importance of staying cool during and after much of our outdoor activity has increased. Keeping your feet cool can be overlooked in the process and poorly ventilated footwear can lead to the common problem of toenail fungus. Premiere Foot and Ankle, your Plano TX podiatrist, offers treatment for mild to severe toenail fungus infections and encourages you to get treatment as soon as possible so as not to allow the infection to spread.
Toenail fungus has early warning signs such as white or yellow speckle on the nail. More serious and full blown infections will show yellow coloration often with a scaly appearance on the skin. Toenail fungus is often linked to heredity, age, poor health and hygiene, trauma to an area of the foot, and poorly ventilated footwear as mentioned above.
Plano podiatrist toenail fungus treatment should not precede an official diagnosis from one of our podiatry professionals. Although toenail fungus symptoms are easily visible, many other foot infections or conditions have similar indications. It is best to have a professional take a few samples from the nail and skin for lab testing to ensure proper treatment.
Many times topical or oral medications will suffice and are very effective, although these traditional toenail fungus treatments take longer than more modern ones. Premiere Foot and Ankle believes in offering the latest and most advanced non-invasive treatments available. Laser treatment for toenail fungus is a fast and effective option with very little discomfort. Laser treatment takes about 10 minutes per treatment and patients feel only a warm sensation. This over 90% effective treatment targets only the infected area and leaves the nail and nail-bed unharmed.
Request an appointment with Premiere Foot and Ankle for the most advanced Plano TX toenail fungus treatment available.

EPAT® Service for Foot and Ankle Pain Relief
Musculoskeletal conditions affecting the back, neck, shoulders and upper limbs can cause discomfort, minor aches and pains and might lead to more serious medical conditions. Premier Foot & Ankle, your McKinney TX podiatrist, can help you treat such conditions with the Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatment (EPAT®) technology.
EPAT® is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment approved by the FDA. Premier Foot & Ankle always provides cutting edge, breakthrough treatment options. The EPAT® proprietary technology uses a unique set of pressure waves to stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood circulation and fast-track the healing process. Acute or chronic muscle pain is treated with virtually no risks or side effects. Patients do sometimes feel minor discomfort after a full day of activity or exercise.
McKinney Texas Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatment patients often experience improvement after only 3 treatments. Over 80% of patients treated report pain free movement after a full schedule of treatments. Areas of interest are applied with a coupling gel allowing the EPAT® pressure waves to be released via the applicator and moved in a circular motion for approximately 5 minutes depending on the disorder being treated.
The high EPAT® success rate versus traditional treatment methods and state-of-the-art engineering make your local McKinney foot and ankle treatment center the solution to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Give us a call or request an appointment online with Premier Foot & Ankle in McKinney.
