A bunion is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot. Diabetes can be dangerous to your feet - even a small cut can produce serious consequences. Diabetes may cause nerve damage that takes away the feeling in your feet.
Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or, rarely, a cyst. When a toenail is ingrown, it is curved and grows into the skin, usually at the nail borders (the sides of the nail).

An ankle sprain is an injury to one or more ligaments in the ankle, usually on the outside of the ankle. Ligaments are bands of tissue - like rubber bands - that connect one bone to another and bind the joints together. In the ankle joint, ligaments provide stability by limiting side-to-side movement.
What is a Tarsal Coalition? A tarsal coalition is an abnormal connection that develops between two bones in the back of the foot (the tarsal bones). This abnormal connection, which can be composed of bone, cartilage, or fibrous tissue, may lead to limited motion and pain in one or both feet. The tarsal bones include the calcaneus (heel bone), talus, navicular, cuboid, and cuneiform bones.

Report
When I called to set up appointment I asked the desk if they accepted my Insurance policy. I gave them the info on the card and they said they accepted the policy. When I checked out I was told my fee was $65 not $35 as stated on the ID card. They said my policy is out of network. They were not upfront with me that my policy was out of network. They just took my money and said tough. Had they disclosed with me at the initial call that they are out of network, I would have found a practice that was in my network. Beware. Ask the right questions or they will screw you.
