Gratitude

We would like to send out a quick message to everyone who has ever served in our armed forces:
There is nothing we can ever do to repay you for the service you provide. You represent the best of us all. Thank you. God bless the United States of America.

A Time for Prayers

Our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected by the recent Oklahoma tornadoes. This photo was taken earlier today while cleaning up the rubble. So far, 53 individuals have been reported dead in the Moore and Shawnee areas.

Party time!

It's an exciting day here at Northwest Foot & Ankle Center. We are celebrating both J.J.'s 21st birthday and the newest addition to our office, Devin.

Foot Pain

Many times people will ask me if it is normal for their feet to hurt.
There are a few times when foot pain may be expected: ie after a marathon (or much shorter run depending on your conditioning). For the most part it is not normal for your feet to hurt.

Mild pain may be expected with extended activity and usually can be properly handled (ice, bracing, anti-inflamatories, ect) while continuing physical activity.

On the other hand, chronic injuries or injuries that prevent you from full weight bearing activity, should not be "worked through." This degree of injury normally requires rest and protection and often professional intervention.
