New York City Podiatrist Offers Advice to Eliminate Heel Pain

Dr. Gary Evans, foot doctor in New York City, helps patients find relief from their heel pain.

2013-04-26

NEW YORK, NY, April 26, 2013 (Press-News.org) As active individuals, some people often experience pain in their heel or arch. While heel pain is a common complaint among active individuals, Dr. Gary Evans, New York City podiatrist, encourages patients to visit his office for immediate care. Many times the simple act of standing for a prolonged period of time can cause a person to experience heel pain, which can put a damper on daily tasks.

Heel pain is typically a result of faulty biomechanics that place too much stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues that attach to it. An injury, or even a bruise that incurred while walking, running, or jumping on hard surfaces can cause this stress. Wearing poorly constructed footwear, or being overweight can also lead to heel pain in New York City. While Dr. Evans, foot doctor in New York City, understands that heel pain can occur, he urges patients to not just "put up with" this pain. Instead, Dr. Evans offers advice and ways to prevent heel pain from occurring so that patients can continue to lead active lifestyles.

"Heel pain is one of the most common complaints I hear at my office. At the initial onset, a patient might feel sudden discomfort, but it can also be a progressive aching that gets worse with time. I want to make sure my patients are able to live active lifestyles without difficulty, which is why I encourage each patient to visit my office at the initial onset of pain," said Dr. Gary Evans, New York City foot doctor.

In addition to early diagnosis, Dr. Evans informs patients of the need to take extra precautions in preventing the development of heel pain. An array of steps can be taken to avoid heel pain in NYC, such as wearing shoes that fit well and have shock-absorbent soles, rigid shanks, and supportive heel counters. Wearing shoes made specifically for each activity is also very important.

"Even if my patients are not experiencing pain in their feet, I am available to provide preventive measures to protect their feet from pain. This is the time of the year that many people begin training for marathons, which can take a toll on a person's feet. However, with proper preventive care, such as orthotics, I can help those patients maintain healthy feet that are pain-free," said Dr. Evans, podiatrist in NYC.

Dr. Evans, NYC podiatrist, also offers patients Radial Shock Wave Therapy for a fast, gentle, non-surgical treatment method of reducing heel pain. Dr. Gary Evans and Dr. James Korponay will deliver pneumatically generated pressure waves that travel through the skin. As these pressure waves come in contact with the inflamed tissue, they stimulate the body's natural self-healing process. Radial Shock Wave Therapy is safe, effective and approved by the FDA.

Patients who are experiencing heel pain are encouraged to visit Dr. Gary Evans and Dr. James Korponay for proper treatment. Additionally, patients can also visit these foot doctors in NYC for proper preventive measurs, including orthotics.

Studies: shorter shifts for interns fail to decrease medical errors

2013-04-26

When a medical student graduates and begins his or her internship, long hours are part of the deal. Until recent years, these interns had to work up to 36 hours straight. Because of the long hours, regulators decided to reduce their shifts to 16 hours in 2011. Regulators reasoned that the interns were tired and overworked and were making medical errors as a result. Although it flies in the face of reason, the medical regulators were mistaken, according to two recent studies published in JAMA Internal Medicine. The studies found that the shorter shifts did not lead to ...
