Plano TX Nerve Decompression Surgery for Morton’s Neuroma
July 12, 2011 | 
Author 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.
