OUR SERVICES

Heal Pain

Heel pain often results from conditions like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. Symptoms
include sharp pain or stiffness, especially in the morning. Treatment may involve rest,
stretching, and custom orthotics.

Sports Medicine

Sports medicine focuses on preventing and treating injuries related to most physical activity.
Our podiatry specialists provide comprehensive care, including diagnosis, rehabilitation, and
performance enhancement for athletes of all levels.

Diabetic Foot Care

Diabetic foot care is essential for preventing complications. Regular check-ups, proper footwear,
and daily foot inspections help manage health and reduce the risk of ulcers and infections in
diabetic patients.

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are specially designed insoles that provide support and alignment for your
feet. They can relieve pain, improve comfort, and enhance performance, customized for
individual needs and foot health.

Achilles Tendon

The Achilles tendon connects calf muscles to the heel, crucial for movement. Injuries can cause pain and swelling, often treated with rest, ice, physical therapy, or custom orthotics for support.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in painful foot conditions. Non-invasive and effective, it enhances blood flow and reduces inflammation, helping patients recover faster from injuries and pain.

Bunions

Bunions are painful bony bumps at the base of the big toe, caused by misalignment. Treatment options include proper footwear, orthotics, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention to alleviate discomfort.

Hammertoes

Hammertoes are deformities where one or more toes bend downward at the middle joint, causing pain and discomfort. Treatment options include stretching exercises, custom orthotics, and, in some cases, surgery.

🦶 Tibial Stress Fractures: What You Need to Know! 🦶
Did you know the tibia is the most common bone to develop a stress fracture in the lower extremity?If you’re experiencing persistent shin pain, especially during or after activity, you might be dealing with a tibial stress fracture. These small cracks in the shinbone (tibia) are common in athletes and active individuals but can affect anyone who overuses their legs.
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Dull ache in the shin area
- Pain that worsens with activity
- Tenderness and swelling along the shin
Prevention Tips:
1. Gradual Training: Increase activity levels slowly to avoid sudden stress on your bones.
2. Proper Footwear: Invest in shoes that provide adequate support and cushioning.
3. Cross-Training: Incorporate low-impact activities to reduce repetitive stress.
4. Nutrition: Ensure your diet includes calcium and vitamin D for bone health.
Treatment:
Rest is key! Depending on the severity, you might need to reduce or modify activities. In some cases, immobilization in a walking boot or cast may be recommended. Physical therapy and proper footwear can also aid in recovery.
📅 If you’re experiencing symptoms, don’t wait! Schedule an appointment with our podiatrists to get back on your feet pain-free.

🦶Iselin disease, also known as apophysitis of the fifth metatarsal base, is an overuse injury that affects the growth plate located at the base of the fifth metatarsal bone in the foot. This condition affects children and adolescents who are still growing, as their growth plates are more susceptible to injury.
Repetitive stress and overuse of the lower extremity is the most common cause of Iselin disease. This condition is often seen in young athletes competing in sports, such as soccer, basketball, gymnastics, and dance. Other contributing factors include tight calf muscles, abnormal foot arches, and other biomechanical abnormalities of the lower extremity which can all increase stress at the site of the 5th metatarsal growth plate.
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Pain on the outer side of the foot that worsens during activity
- Swelling
- Difficulty walking or running
- Redness and warmth in the affected area
If you suspect your child may have Iselin disease, consult with one of our podiatrists to start a catered treatment program towards your child’s needs and goals!
For more information on foot health and related conditions, visit our website or schedule an appointment with our experienced podiatrists today. Your child’s foot health is our priority!👣 Stay active and pain-free with Bayshore Podiatry! 👣#podopediatrics #footpain #iselindisease #foothealth #footdoc #podiatrist #tampa
