You have many options for treatment of toenail fungus in the Tampa Bay area.  Dr. Marc Katz is the most experienced laser podiatrist in the area.  He has done in excess of 1000 procedures.  In addition, he has developed a superior technique and treatment to give you the best results.

Some offices are informing patients that they only need one treatment.  Dr. Katz notes that this is not ideal and is done as a cost cutting measure.  Based on extensive experience, 3 treatments are necessary for best results.

Dr. Katz uses one of the most effective lasers on the market.  He notes that there are many types of lasers including the Q-switched lasers.  These offer no advantages for success and their notion that one treatment is all that is needed, is flawed.  We've had patients treated with the Q-switched and Pinpointe laser among others and they have had poor results.  Dr. Katz suggests that you do your homework and do it right the first time.

Hammertoe Pain: See Dr. Katz for Advanced In Office Correction in Tampa!

Dr. Katz performs a minimally invasive procedure for hammertoe deformities that are flexible.  If you can unbend your abnormal toe and make it straight then you may be a candidate.  The simple in office procedure involves release of the soft tissues causing the deformity and pain.  No stitches are needed and you may return to work quickly, says Katz.  In my office, we've developed techniques and protocols to make you better and return to your life and activities quickly.  That's what separates us from other podiatrists, says Katz.

Hammertoes

Hammertoes are a contracture of the toes as a result of a muscle imbalance between the tendons on the top and the tendons on the bottom of the toe. They can be flexible or rigid in nature. When they are rigid, it is not possible to straighten the toe out by manipulating it. Frequently, they develop corns on the top of the toe as a result of rubbing on the shoe. They may also cause a bothersome callous on the ball of the foot. This occurs as a result of the toe pressing downward on the bone behind the toe. This area then becomes prominent and the pressure of the bone against the ground causes a callous to form. (Corns and Calluses)

They tend to slowly get worse with time and frequently flexible deformities become rigid. Treatment can be preventative, symptomatic or curative. (For information on hammertoe of the big toe see Hallux hammertoe)

Preventative treatment of hammertoe is directed toward the cause of the deformity. A functional orthotic is a special insert that can be prescribed by your podiatrist to address the abnormal functioning of the foot that causes the hammertoe. Functional orthotics can be thought of as contact lenses for your feet. They correct a number of foot problems that are caused by an abnormally functioning foot. Our feet, much like our eyes, change with time. Functional orthotics slow down or halt this gradual change in the foot. Often when orthotics are used for flexible hammertoes, the toes will overtime straighten out and correct themselves. Calf stretching exercises are also helpful. Calf stretching can help to overcome part of the muscle imbalance that causes the hammertoe.

Symptomatic treatment of hammertoes consists of such things as open toed shoes or hammertoe pads. There are over the counter corn removers for temporally reducing the painful callous often seen with the hammertoe. These medications must be used with caution. They are a mild acid that burns the callous off. These medications should never be used for corns or callouses between the toes. Persons with diabetes or bad circulation should never use these products.

Curative treatment of hammertoes varies depending upon the severity of the deformity. When the hammertoe is flexible, a simple tendon release in the toe works well. The recovery is rapid often requiring nothing more that a single stitch and a Band-Aid. Of course if several toes are done at the same time, the recovery make take a bit longer.

Call Dr. Katz today to see if you are a candidate for this amazing technique!
