Podiatrists In Silver Spring Offers Noninvasive Treatment For Heel Pain

Family Foot and Ankle Associates of Maryland are happy to offer shockwave therapy to treat heel pain

2013-06-09

SILVER SPRING, MD, June 09, 2013 (Press-News.org) With technology constantly advancing, Drs. Goldberg, Farnworth and Frank, Silver Spring foot doctors, are committed to remaining on the cutting edge of technological advancements. To showcase this, the doctors are pleased to announce that Family Foot & Ankle Associates of Maryland is now offering a noninvasive way to treat their patient's heel pain in Silver Spring. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, or ESWT is a fast, non-surgical way of reducing heel pain.

"We are glad that we can provide this sort of technology to our patients. We are always looking for new and effective ways for treating common foot injuries. The RSWT is for people who have tried other methods for treating heel pain with no results. We hope this method can finally give them relief," said Dr. Goldberg, foot doctor in Silver Spring.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is mostly for patients who suffer from chronic heel pain or plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia ligament that is located in the heel is overused from standing for long hours or from repetitive exercise. ESWT generates pressure waves that travel through the skin and come in contact with the inflamed tissue. The waves then stimulate the body's natural self-healing process. ESWT is also capable of over-stimulating the nerves, reducing sensitivity and pain in the foot. This treatment is safe as well as effective and has been evaluated by the FDA.

Additionally, Drs. Goldberg, Farnworth, and Frank invite their patients to take advantage of the online appointment requesting feature that is available through his interactive website. The online appointment-requesting feature, offers a convenient way for busy patients to request an appointment for orthotics in Silver Spring with Family Foot and Ankle Associates without interrupting their day.

Dentist In Eau Claire, WI Offers Treatment For Snoring And Sleep Apnea

2013-06-09

A solid night of sound sleep is important; so important that a person's overall health and ability to function effectively during the day depends on it. But when normal breathing patterns are disrupted during sleep, it's not unusual for health to deteriorate. To help patients suffering from sleep complications, Dr. Chris Poss, dentist in Eau Claire, WI, is happy to offer dental appliances. "Many people suffer from snoring. It happens when the soft tissues of your throat narrow, causing vibration as air passes through. This restriction in air flow can not only prevent ...

Health of entire families at risk through under-use of genetic testing

2013-06-08

Paris, France: A new study of the use of genetic testing for cancer-causing mutations in affected families in France has found that its take-up is very low. Professor Pascal Pujol, Head of the Cancer Genetics Department, Montpellier University Hospital, Montpellier, France will tell the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics tomorrow (Sunday) that analysis of data from the French National Cancer Institute covering the years 2003 to 2011 showed that, although there had been a steady increase in tests performed for the breast and ovarian cancer-causing ...

Diabetes drug shows promise in treatment of neurodegenerative disease

2013-06-08

Paris, France: A drug used to control Type II diabetes can help repair the spinal cords of mice suffering from the inherited disease adrenoleukodystrophy which, untreated, leads eventually to a paralysis, a vegetative state and death. This is an important step along the road to the development of a therapy for the human disease for which current treatment options are scarce and only partially effective, the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics will hear tomorrow (Sunday). The research is published simultaneously on line in the journal Brain. Professor ...

How do immune cells detect infections?

2013-06-08

How do immune cells manage to sort through vast numbers of similar-looking proteins within the body to detect foreign invaders and fight infections? "For immune cells, singling out foreign proteins is like looking for a needle in a haystack – where the needle may look very much like a straw, and where some straws may also look very much like a needle," notes McGill University physics professor Paul François. Understanding how immune cells tackle this formidable challenge is important, because it could provide crucial insights into the understanding of immune diseases, ...

Fires in northern Saskatchewan

2013-06-08

NASA's Aqua satellite collected this natural-color image with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, MODIS, instrument on June 05, 2013. Actively burning areas, detected by MODIS's thermal bands, are outlined in red. All three fires noted here are more than 100 hectares in size (>247 acres). According to the Government of Saskatchewan's wildfire website, this area of the province has been designated an "observation zone." This means in this area there are fewer human values or commercial timber and fire is generally allowed to play its natural, beneficial ...

PD-like sleep and motor problems observed in α-synuclein mutant mice

2013-06-08

Amsterdam, NL, 7 June 2013 – The presence of Lewy bodies in nerve cells, formed by intracellular deposits of the protein α-synuclein, is a characteristic pathologic feature of Parkinson's Disease (PD). In the quest for an animal model of PD that mimics motor and non-motor symptoms of human PD, scientists have developed strains of mice that overexpress α-synuclein. By studying a strain of mice bred to overexpress α-synuclein via the Thy-1 promoter, scientists have found these mice develop many of the age-related progressive motor symptoms of PD and demonstrate ...

UC Santa Barbara study provides a new framework for understanding the energetics of ionic liquids

2013-06-08

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– A new study by researchers at UC Santa Barbara provides clues into the understanding of the behavior of the charged molecules or particles in ionic liquids. The new framework may lead to the creation of cleaner, more sustainable, and nontoxic batteries, and other sources of chemical power. The research was published in an early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "I think this framework would provide a nice strategy to begin discussions toward batteries utilizing ionic liquids," said graduate student researcher ...

Large-scale biodiversity is vital to maintain ecosystem health

2013-06-08

Over the years ecologists have shown how biological diversity benefits the health of small, natural communities. New analysis by ecologists at UC Santa Cruz demonstrates that even higher levels of biological diversity are necessary to maintain ecosystem health in larger landscapes over long periods of time. Think of it as patches on a quilt, says Erika Zavaleta, UCSC associate professor of environmental studies. Each patch may be a diverse habitat of plants, animals, and insects but it is equally important that the landscape "quilt" is made up of a diversity of patches ...

Vegetable oil IS good for you, MU researcher says

2013-06-08

COLUMBIA, Mo. ¬— A typical American consumes approximately 3 or more tablespoons of vegetable oil each day. Vegetable oils, like those from soy, corn and canola, are a significant source of calories and are rich in linoleic acid (LA), which is an essential nutrient. Since the 1970s, researchers have known that LA helps reduce blood cholesterol levels, and for decades, scientists have known that consuming LA can help lower the risk of heart disease. However, some experts have been claiming recently that Americans might be getting too much of a good thing. A new study from ...
