The Quick Fix

Hello, again.
 
 
Is your footwear selection comfortable?

Just checking…   If it isn’t, here is what can be done:
Here is

The Quick Fix.
 
1) Go to your local drugstore or sporting goods store and purchase an over the counter arch support (the ones I carry in my office are called Superfeet).

2) If there is pressure on the big toe (bunion area) or little toe go to your local shoe repair and ask them to stretch the area in the appropriate area.

3) If you have discomfort in the ball of the foot you can purchase a simple cushion insert from the drug store or the shoe maker can add a metatarsal pad to the inside of the shoe as well.
 
 

Foot pain is no laughing matter. 
 

I have a few patients that come in before the pain hits.  They come in for regular check-ups and truly understand the importance that their feet have on their world and entire daily existence.  Regular check-ups are a great form of prevention.
 
There is a big difference when you go to see a doctor.  We traditionally go to the doctor when something hurts.  As the doctor is doing the diagnosis you, the patient,  sit and are worrying, waiting and hope that it is not as bad as it feels.  You watch the doctor’s face for movements and maybe other bodily gestures trying to see a hint or clue.  You hope that when the doctor tells you the news, your heart doesn’t bottom out.  
 
As you can imagine your entire body experiences stress.  It’s no wonder people don’t want to go to the doctor.  We sometimes wait until the last possible minute.

Holistic Podiatry
 
Please allow me to go into a greater explanation of Holistic Podiatry. 
 

Ideally, you would come in when or before the slightest pain begins.  You arrive in a state of mind that is cognizant with Wellness rather than illness.   Irrespective of what I say, you know you are well already.  This is healing through wellness.  
 
Our bodies are a whole being that responds to all kinds of stimulus; food, air quality, sounds, your thoughts and temperature changes.  You feet are just a small part of the equation but, the information that can be told through the feet describes the entire body and being.          

 
Prevention is the path of Wellness. 

 
As you may or may not know in addition to Podiatry, I am certified and trained in a number of time-tested modalities.  You could say, it is a serious passion I have.  I want my patients to be better each time they come, not worse. 
 
Eventually, they all become better and understand a new perspective on Wellness.  They learn to heal themselves. 
 
I have a few such patients who really ‘get this’.

"I’ve been a patient of Dr. Greene’s for years and she helped in multiple ways.  Her holistic approach to healing feet has not only helped my feet, my balance and ease of walking but she has helped me emotionally and spiritually.  She has changed my life for the better and with our support and guidance I’m ready for a new path.  For the first time, I really understand the mind-body connection and the path to wellness." – JLM, NY

The next topic will be we will about a relatively new healing modality called Rising Star.  I think it is beyond amazing.  You be the judge for yourself.

 
Feel free to call me anytime and ask.  Questions are the way you get answers. 
 
Have a great day. 
 
There’s a special event coming up in October.  More details are coming soon.
