Find Your Perfect Match
Running... Having the right equipment makes a world of difference!
So I have committed to run my first 1/2 marathon with a group of friends in Columbus Ohio - mid October. I am in week 7 of training and things are going really well. After a few blisters, I quickly learned that I needed to rethink my running sock selection. A patient of mine, who is a life long runner, recommended Balega socks. I purchased a pair at John's Run/Walk shop and would highly recommend them! I also continue to enjoy my Brooks Glycerin running shoes. Remember, it is important to find the right style of Brooks for your foot structure/gait pattern. The link below helps you make the right choice. Now get out there and run!

Serious foot conditions leave NFL athletes on the sidelines...
To my dismay, I am officially out of the fantasy football playoffs! My season was filled with player injuries and underperformance. Maurice Jones Drew (pictured above) was one of my top draft picks that has been in a walking boot and crutches for much of the season.
Can foot injuries be prevented amongst athletes?
Dr Michael Coughlin, a leading foot and ankle expert believes the answer is YES! In preventing these types of injuries Dr Couglin reports that "It's really the cleat pattern and the stiffness of the shoe that we found makes the difference."
The NFL has consulted with Dr Coughlin, who has since met with shoe companies to help them develope shoe gear that may help to prevent these injuries.

Say "GOODBYE" to those funky toenails...
You DON'T have to live with yellow toenails any longer!
Do you have nails that are yellow, brittle and/or thickening? If so, it is likely that you have a fungal nail infection. Although there are other causes of nail discoloration and thickening (Psoriasis, Previous injury to the nail) the primary cause is fungus within the nail. There are several treatment options for this condition including oral Lamisil, topical Jublia or topical ClearNails Pro. Additionally we recommend taking the vitamin supplement Biotin and using a shoe sanitizing spray to prevent reoccurrence of the condition.
Call our office or send an appointment request through our website to have your nails evaluated!
