Arthritis
Plantar Fasciitis
The plantar fascia is a tough fibrous band of tissues that extends along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the fleshy portion at the base of the toes (the ball). The role of the plantar fascia is to support the arch and the middle portion of the foot. Plantar fasciitis can become a chronic condition that develops when this band of tissue becomes irritated and inflamed due to stress. People who have plantar fasciitis experience symptoms like pain throughout the bottom of the foot concentrated in the heel area, as well as persistent numbness and burning sensations in the bottom of the foot. Symptoms are generally worse in the morning after the tissue has “stiffened up” during sleep or following other long periods of inactivity. In most cases, the symptoms will be somewhat relieved by movement during the day, which promotes circulation to the plantar fascia.

Ultrasound
Neuromas can usually be diagnosed with a physical examination of the foot including gently feeling the foot in order to identify areas of swelling or overgrown nerve tissue and to evaluate the cause and nature of the symptoms. Most neuromas are associated with a lump of tissue that is very painful when pressed. A patient history can also aid in ensuring an accurate diagnosis. In a few cases, diagnostic imaging may also be ordered to confirm a diagnosis of neuroma and to rule out other issues which could potentially cause similar symptoms. In-office diagnostic ultrasound is an effective imaging tool.

Bunions
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are very painful, and they can also develop dangerous infections. Dr. Mancherian is skilled in the treatment of ingrown toenails and the treatment of the infections they cause, helping patients at the Foot and Ankle Wellness Clinic in Los Angeles and Glendale, California, relieve symptoms and keep their feet healthy.

Corns
Both corns and calluses are areas of hardened skin that form as a result of increased friction or pressure. Corns can occur on the toes or between the toes and calluses occur on the bottoms or sides of the feet. Corns and calluses can have a core or central portion, that is usually deep in the skin, deeper than the surrounding tissue, and can be a source of significant pain. Corns and calluses can cause pain when walking, which in turn, can cause changes in the way a person walks. Over time, these changes can result in foot, ankle and knee pain, and can even cause pain the hips and lower back as well as contributing to balance issues. These areas can also be deep enough to create wounds and set up a person for infection.
Calluses
Corns and calluses are caused by pressure and friction on the skin and can make even simple things like wearing shoes and walking very painful. At Foot and Ankle Wellness Clinic, Dr. Mancherian offers a comprehensive array of treatments for corns and calluses to help patients in Los Angeles and Glendale, California, relieve painful symptoms, regain pain-free walking and prevent recurrence.
Fungus
Initially, the fungus will cause a yellowish or whitish discoloration to form under the nail. Over time, the discoloration will spread to the remainder of the nail, and the nail will become brittle and ragged. Infected nails can cause pain and itching, with pain increasing when pressure is applied or when wearing shoes. Fungal infections can occur more commonly among people with diabetes or other conditions that impair circulation and make it more difficult for the immune system to fight off infections. People with a family or personal history of toenail infections are also more likely to become infected.

Bunions Problems
Custom orthotics can be designed to treat an array of issues, including calluses, bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, neuromas, heel spurs, arch problems, unstable ankles, arthritis and issues affecting gait and balance. Each prescription orthotic is custom crafted using highly-detailed measurements and other information that are unique to each person. Custom orthotics are created in special facilities using high-tech design techniques and technology for superior results based on the unique needs of each patient. Dr. Mancherian routinely prescribes custom orthotics using Sole Supports, because she believes they are the most progressive and innovative custom orthotics available today.
Calluses
Fungus Toenails
Our practice provides effective treatment for this condition, but we are sure you’d rather avoid it in the first place. The good news is that there are steps you can take to prevent toenail fungus from developing. These include...
Hammertoes
Heel Spurs
Plantar fasciitis often responds to conservative approaches like stretching exercises, icing techniques, special splints to help improve the flexibility of the plantar fascia, and custom orthotics to help support the tissue and relieve strain. Oral pain relievers and corticosteroid injections can also help by resolving inflammation and pain. In very few cases, surgery may be needed to detach and reposition the plantar fascia or to remove painful heel spurs. Dr. Mancherian offers a unique natural treatment called Prolozone which is an injection that naturally reduces inflammation and assists the body in healing the damaged tissues on its own.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Foot Infections
Ingrown Toenails
There are, of course, other ways to develop an ingrown toenail—like physical trauma or wearing shoes that are too small and crowd the toes—but a fairly common cause is improper nail trimming procedures. Beyond ingrown toenails, knowing how to correctly trim toenails can help prevent other conditions, like black toenails that are rather common for runners.
