Common Foot Injuries

This week our friend, Dr. Shamir Bhikha, DPM with Ankle & Foot Centers of Georgia stopped by to talk about common foot injuries often seen as the weather begins to warm and people decide to get out and start running/walking. He talked about the fact that after the New Year as folks set goals to lose weight and especially during spring, folks tend to go out and jump into a training regimen that doesn’t allow for adaptation to occur in the connective tissues, muscles, and bones of the lower legs and feet.

This leads to several common injuries that can derail our ability to continue training for months (or even longer). We talked about plantar fasciitis, which causes often-debilitating heel pain that is particularly painful after having been at rest or in bed for a period of time, Morton’s neuroma, an injury to the nerve between the toes that makes affected toes feel like they’re broken, Achilles tendonitis, which is a painful aggravation of the tendon behind the heel bone, and issues that can occur with poorly-fitted shoes.

Shamir talked about the importance of having a running pro help you choose a training shoe that is appropriate for your gait as well as properly fitted for the activities you plan to use them for. Not doing this can result in toenail injury (including loss of the nail), toenail fungus, toe deformities, stress fractures, and other painful problems.

Before you head out to the trail you need to take a few minutes and listen to this foot/ankle expert who focuses his clinical practice on sports-related injuries through a conservative approach to helping his clients recover and ideally prevent further problems. We readily recommend Dr. Bhikha as an expert for foot/ankle-related problems.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

00:00 / 00:58:22

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

This week we sat down with internationally-known expert on the subject of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Dr. Helen Gelly. This treatment modality has been available to patients with poorly-healing wounds, thermal injuries, decompression sickness, late effects of radiation, and several other problems for decades. And while there is a quality body of evidence supporting the use of this treatment for clinically-appropriate patients, many of the patients who could benefit from access to it never get to know it’s available.

This is due in large part to the fact that of ~159 US medical colleges, only ~30 offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy and wound resolution as taught specialties. That means that approximately 85% of graduating physicians have had very little (if any) exposure to academic information about the modality. The result is that they often miss opportunities to add the treatment to the patient’s care plan, which in turn delays (or even prevents) these problem wounds from healing.

Dr. Gelly shared information about the history of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and we talked about the physiology of what’s happening during the course of therapy. We discussed a couple of major groups of patients whose clinical outcomes tend to be significantly improved with access to hyperbaric medicine, diabetic ulcer patients and patients experiencing persistent late effects of radiation. The aim is to get credible information to the public so that both physicians and patients in need can educate themselves about it. Atlanta is unique in that both inside the city and in numerous suburbs, patients can receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy in hospital-based or UHMS accredited free-standing programs. It’s also paid for by Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance companies for these evidence-based indications.
