Welcome to Hugar Foot & Ankle Specialists! Hugar Foot & Ankle Specialists is located in Elmwood Park, IL. Every day millions of Americans subject their feet to stress and trauma from the normal performance of their jobs. Many occupations are hard on their feet, and visits to our office for work-related foot problems are on the rise. Years ago, movies and television stereotyped police officers and mailmen for complaining that their feet hurt. Such characterizations weren't far from the truth as they and others- industrial workers, airline flight attendants, retail clerks and teachers normally suffer from sore feet after spending eight hours a day walking or standing. For administrative assistants, teachers and flight attendants, workplace rules often mandate dress shoes that can worsen the impact of repetitive stress. As a result, we regularly treat them for heel pain, bunions and stress fractures. For manufacturing and warehouse workers, safety regulations may require wearing steel-toed boots or shoes. While this protective footwear prevents injuries from industrial accidents, the rigid tow box that guards against traumatic incidents is also responsible for chronic foot problems experienced by many industrial employees. Not surprisingly, you can have chronic foot disorders, such as: * Fungus Nails * Hammer Toes and Corns * Soft Corns * Heel Pains * Pain in the Back of the Heel * Bunion Joints * Tailor's Bunion * Pain Under the Big Toe * Plantar Warts on the Foot * Callus and Deep Corns * Morton's Neuroma * Sprains and Fractures * Skin Conditions of the Foot * Children's Foot Problems * Geriatric Foot Problems * Sports Related Problems * Diabetes Affected Feet Toe irritation, heel pain and Achilles tendon stress are associated with steel-toed shoes. Orthonics (custom shoe inserts) provide excellent support and relief from repetitive stress. They can also correct biomechanical irregularities, realign joints, and cushion the daily pounding on the feet. Orthonics also help prevent complications such as pain in the lower back, knees and hips that result from bad posture related to foot discomfort. In some cases surgery is recommended for plantar fasciitis and other problems when conservative treatment doesn't provide meaningful relief. The bottom line is that, if your job keeps you on your feet all day, do not simply accept foot pain as one of the hazards of your profession. When left untreated, painful feet can cause even greater problems with knees, hips and backs. If changing the type of shoes you wear doesn't alleviate your pain, make an appointment with our office for an appointment. A podiatrist is a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (D.P.M.), who specializes both medically and surgically in the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and ankle disorders. All Hugar Foot & Ankle specialists are waiting to treat your foot pain today. Give us a call and schedule your appointment.
