Warts
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes your body to attack your joints in a similar way to how it would fight off an infection. This causes inflammation in your joints that inhibits your mobility. Left untreated, the inflammation can eventually cause the cartilage in your joints to break down, causing significant pain and further inhibiting your mobility.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis â€” inflammation of the plantar fascia â€” is a major cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the band of muscle that connects your heel bone to the front of your foot. When this muscle becomes inflamed, it can cause severe heel pain that worsens when you walk.
Diabetic Foot Care
If you are diabetic, your feet require special care. Aside from trying to avoid an injury to the foot, there are ways to help prevent serious diabetic foot issues, such as Charcot foot and ulcers. The biggest threat to the health of your feet if you have diabetes is allowing a small problem to become a big one — your minor foot problem may be more serious than you think. For many diabetics, the nerves of the feet do not function properly, causing a loss of feeling in the feet and poor blood flow. This can cause a common foot ailment like a cut or blister to become infected.

Ultrasound
Many people know about diagnostic ultrasound because OB/GYN physicians use it with their expectant patients on a daily basis. We use ultrasound-guided foot treatment in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL, to properly diagnose foot conditions and identify exactly where the problem is â€“ eliminating trial and error treatment and continued pain for the patient. With our diagnostic ultrasound machine, we can locate and begin to effectively treat soft tissue conditions like...

Wound Care

Pinched Nerve
A neuroma is sometimes referred to as a pinched nerve in the foot. If you experience any of the following symptoms at home, we recommend that you schedule an exam as soon as possible. Neuromas do not go away on their own, and their symptoms can worsen over time.
Ankle Surgery
Foot or ankle surgery is typically recommended as a last resort, but when you need foot and ankle surgery in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL, turn to our experienced podiatrists at West Coast Podiatry Center.
Orthopedic Surgery
No painful recovery â€“ In addition to the risks that accompany any kind of surgery, you can expect a long and painful rehabilitation period following orthopedic surgery. Amniotic stem cell injections, on the other hand, are virtually pain-free!
Bunions
Bunions are painful bumps that form on the joint of the big toe. They are generally caused by the inherent structure of your toe joint, wearing shoes that are too tight, and wearing high heels. Luckily, this condition is common and somewhat easy to treat. If youâ€™re looking for expert care to get relief from bunions, our top-rated podiatrists offer effective bunion treatment in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL.
Vascular Surgery
Avoid large hospital co-pays while still taking advantage of West Coast Podiatry Centerâ€™s referral network of wound experts in vascular surgery and infectious disease.Â Access to more skin substitutes and treatment options than are available in hospital based wound centers.
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail is a common condition that occurs as a result of stress or trauma to the toe, cutting the toenail incorrectly, thickened toenails, or a hereditary trait. While it may be true that many ingrown toenails resolve themselves or require little treatment, there are times when one can go from an annoying sore spot to a serious, life-threatening infection. Many people with an ingrown toenail have turned to our podiatrists for ingrown nail treatment in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL.
Reconstructive Surgery
Born and raised in southern New Jersey, I discovered my love for podiatric medicine and surgery after suffering a number of my own foot and ankle injuries as a high school soccer player and hurdler. I received my Bachelorâ€™s degree in Nutritional Science at the University of Maryland â€“ College Park and spent a semester abroad studying at the National University of Ireland in Galway, Ireland. I went on to attend Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine and completed a four-year foot and ankle residency program at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, specializing in Limb Salvage, Reconstructive Surgery, and Trauma. Dr. Vonherbulis and I were actually co-residents! I started my career in private practice in West Chester, PA.

Corns
Hammertoes, also called claw or mallet toes, refer to toes that are bent in an unnatural way. The offending toe or toes will begin to bend upward and, over time, become stiff and immobile. This stiffness can cause you discomfort and pain, creating corns and blisters where your toe rubs against your shoe. Thankfully, the condition can be addressed with our hammertoe and claw toe treatment in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL.
Calluses
Treatment options for hammertoes depend on what caused the condition, but generally, the pain from hammertoes can be mitigated by switching the patient to more comfortable shoes, encouraging the use of pads or custom orthotics that prevent friction, realigning the afflicted toes using splints or pads, and applying over-the-counter creams that provide relief from the pain associated with corns, blisters, or calluses.
Fungus
Toenail fungus is an often embarrassing condition characterized by cracked and discolored toenails. Left untreated, nail fungus can lead to pain and discomfort as well as more severe conditions such as severely ingrown or broken toenails and infections. Our experts have the experience and knowledge necessary to provide top-notch toenail fungus treatment in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL.
Lesions
Are you tired of dealing with pesky warts? We at West Coast Podiatry Center are excited to announce that we have a brand new and effective treatment for surface-based skin lesions, primarily warts.
Psoriasis
Given that other conditions such as psoriasis can mimic the look and symptoms of nail fungus, diagnosis is best made using a lab analysis of scrapings from under the nail in addition to a physical examination. One of our skilled podiatrists will determine your case and treatment options after a thorough evaluation of your feet.
