Computed tomography (CT) examination (also known as a CAT scan) is used in podiatry to help diagnose and treat foot or ankle problems. A CT is a kind of X-ray device that takes cross sectional images of a part of the body, giving the physician a three-dimensional image. CT scans are often superior to Read more
Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is a procedure used to treat excessive sweating in the hands or feet. The procedure involves one or a series of short, 10- to 20-minute sessions in the doctor's office during which a light electrical current is passed through water into the feet. The current is gradually increased until Read more

Bunions
What are Bunions? Also known as a hallux valgus, bunions are bony bumps that form at the base of the big toe. Bunions are a common toe disorder that affects about a third of all adults in the US. They form due to the big toe pointing inward to the other toes of your feet. As a result, the metatarsophalangeal Read more
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails, also known as onychocryptosis, is usually caused by trimming toenails too short, particularly on the sides of the big toes.

Dermatology
Corns
Corns are calluses that form on the toes because of bones that push up against shoes and build up pressure on the skin. The surface layer of the skin thickens, irritating the tissues underneath. Hard corns are usually located on the top of the toe or on the side of the small toe. Soft corns resemble Read more
Cyst
Frostbite
Extreme exposure of your feet to cold for a prolonged period can lead to a serious condition called frostbite. Frostbite starts by producing pain and a burning sensation in the exposed areas. This is followed by numbness in toes or feet and changes in skin color, from pale or red to bluish-gray or black. Read more
Ulcer
Calluses
Heel calluses, also called plantar calluses, develop when one metatarsal bone is longer or lower than the others and it hits the ground with more force than it is equipped to handle. As a result, the skin under this bone thickens. The resulting callus causes irritation and pain. In most cases, heel Read more
Eczema
Fungus
2. Inspect your feet regularly. Pay attention to changes in color and temperature. Look for thick or discolored nails (a sign of developing fungus), and check for cracks or cuts in the skin. Peeling or scaling on the soles of feet may indicate Athlete's Foot. Any growth on the foot is not considered normal.
Lesions
Osteochondritis are lesions that usually cause pain and stiffness of the ankle joint and affect all age groups. Osteochondritis is caused by a twisting-type injury to the ankle. Symptoms include swelling and ankle pain. Immobilization of the foot and ankle for a period of time usually resolves the Read more
Psoriasis

Physical Therapy
Summertime in New England is one of my favorite times of year; it is sunshine, sandy beaches, BBQs and of course, summer footwear. For a lot of people summer is flip-flops, sandals and going barefoot, but this time of year can be particularly difficult for those suffering from foot pain. As a Podiatrist, the summer months are a time of increased foot pain, calluses, splinters and heel pain. Heel pain or plantar fasciitis is also a common complaint at the end of summer. Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the bottom of the heel or along the arch of one or both feet. This disorder is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia that can be triggered by improper or unsupportive shoe gear, such as flip flops and excessive barefoot walking. For treatment, I advise a stretching routine, anti-inflammatories, proper shoe gear, orthotics, and icing. Other treatment options include use of a night splint, custom orthotics, EPAT, physical therapy and for more severe cases surgery.

Ankle Sprain
Bunions Problems
- Bunions—misaligned big toe joints that swell and become tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward and the second joint to angle toward the other toes. Bunions tend to be hereditary, but can be aggravated by shoes that are too narrow in the forefoot and toe. Surgery is frequently performed to correct the problem.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Welcome to Valley Podiatry Associates, PC, a private practice serving South Hadley, Springfield, and Wilbraham, Massachusetts. Drs. Walter R. Wolf, Erik V. Meunier, Tammie A. Black, and Lauren A. Perica offer expert and professional podiatric services. They provide complete foot and ankle care, including diabetic foot care, sports medicine treatment, and foot surgery.
Flat Feet
Hammertoes
- Hammertoes—usually stemming from muscle imbalance, this condition occurs when the toe is bent into a claw-like position. Hammertoe can affect any toe, but most frequently occurs to the second toe, when a bunion slants the big toe toward and under it. Selecting shoes and socks that do not cramp the toes may help alleviate any aggravation of pain or discomfort.
Heel Spurs
- Heel Spurs—growths of bone on the underside, forepart of the heel bone. Heel spurs occur when the plantar tendon pulls at its attachment to the heel bone. This area of the heel later calcifies to form a spur. Proper warm-up and the use of appropriate athletic shoes can reduce the strain to the ligament and prevent the formation of heel spurs.

Ingrown Toenails
4. Trim toenails straight across, but not too short. Be careful not to cut nails in corners or on the sides; this can lead to ingrown toenails. Persons with diabetes, poor circulation, or heart problems should not treat their own feet, because they are more prone to infection.
Foot Injuries
Metatarsalgia
Pain in the area between the arch and toes, or ball of the foot, is generally called metatarsalgia. The pain usually centers on one or more of the five bones (metatarsals) in this mid-portion of the foot. Also known as dropped metatarsal heads, metatarsalgia can cause abnormal weight distribution due Read more

Plantar Fasciitis
Heel pain can be caused by several different disorders, but the most common cause of heel pain is known as plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of tissue called the plantar fascia that starts in the heel bone, runs along the bottom of the foot and attaches to the toes, creating the arch of the foot. When this tissue becomes irritated and inflamed it causes pain in the heel known as plantar fasciitis. The most common symptoms of plantar fasciitis are pain in the bottom of the heel or arch, difficulty walking or standing, pain first thing in the morning or after rest and pain at the end of the day. Each patient may experience heel pain in slightly different ways, but for the most part is all caused by the inflammation of the plantar fascia.
