•Finding Motivation to Keep Running There are days when you just don't feel like heading outdoors to run or are just unmotivated to hop onto a treadmill. Some days you just want to rest and relax...which is good. But sometimes those lazy days string themselves together and you realize you haven't gone for a run for a while. Either that or you may force yourself to go for a run since you've had too long of a long break.

It is also usually too hot to spend more time outside than necessary.
The most notorious of all bad habits runners have is not stretching. Many of us don't have time to include a...

•Don't Let a Pain in Your Foot Become a Pain in Your Butt! Foot pain is common. At some point most people will experience pain or discomfort in their foot. While much of the time this is due to a direct foot issue, it sometimes can be because of instability elsewhere in the lower extremity. If left untreated, this can lead to pain in the ankles, knees, hips, back, or even your rear end. So my title can be taken literally or figuratively.
A literal "pain in the rear" due to unstable mechanics comes in a condition known as Piriformis Syndrome. The...
•How The Grateful Dead Has Helped Me Become A Better Doctor I am an unapologetic fan of the Grateful Dead - a Deadhead. I saw them many times before the passing of Jerry Garcia and have seen their many reincarnations and offshoots over the years. Unfortunately, the band rarely comes close to me in Houston, TX so I have to travel to see them. Most recently I took my family to see Furthur, the latest incarnation, in San Francisco for shows over New Years and took friends and colleagues to Fairfax, VA, where I happened to have a meeting.

•Are Your Legs the Same Length? ? There are a few myths that seem to have become fact. One is that everyone has different length legs. True, it may not be exact to the fraction of inch (or millimeter), but from a "macro" perspective they should be pretty equal. Most people learn about a limb length difference when they get a pair of pants tailored. Either the tailor measures each leg and tells you about the discrepancy or, if you go to a bad tailor, they may measure one leg only and you notice the difference when you try...

•Triathlon Transitioning and Your Feet Triathlons have become increasingly popular in the past two decades.

The tricky thing about this trip was that it was a cruise to Alaska. I wasn't comfortable...

•Running off Excess Weight Safely There are many people out there who cringe at the thought of having to run and, let's face it, they do so for a good reason, running is a hard sport.

In fact some marathons will even take half marathon times for qualification for a starting corral.

We are conditioned to our own adult feet, which are no longer growing. We wear our shoes until they die, and often well past their demise. We buy shoes out of desire, but not necessity. Kids are different.
The feet of children are rapidly growing and developing and...

•Why Do My Child's Feet Hurt? ? First things first: There is no such thing as "normal" foot pain for a child. No child should feel restricted in the amount he or she walks because of pain. I am stating this with no exceptions! Here in Houston, Texas we have our kids scheduled nonstop, between sports, school, and dancing. It's so important to keep our children moving without pain.
Many parents understand that their children should not be in pain and do the right thing when they notice their child is not feeling right -...
•Barefoot Running: A Podiatrist's Dilemma Many people, even runners, do not realize that there is a small but significant subculture of serious runners who run barefoot. While you may expect to find these runners on the beach or in areas with a soft composite track, you'd be mistaken. These runners are training on asphalt and concrete and even competing in road races. There are marathon runners and triathletes who find that they have more stability and fewer injuries when running barefoot.
So what's the controversy? Why doesn't...
•When To Replace Running Shoes Although the title specifies running shoes, I'm writing this with all types of athletic shoes in mind: tennis shoes, walking shoes, sneakers, aerobics shoes, basketball shoes, etc. The principle is generally the same. For brevity, lets just refer to them for the most part as running shoes.
We all know that running shoes do not last forever. Most people, however, continue to wear them well after their useful life has ended. Most commonly in my office I'll have people tell me that their shoes...
•Choosing the Right Shoe For Your Baby Babies, both infants and toddlers, have unique issues when it comes to their feet and footwear. An infant's feet are essentially developmental in nature. The baby lifts up his feet and looks at these crazy things in front of his face. He explores his feet and toes and wonders what they may do. He moves them around and wonders who is making them do that.
As the baby progresses to crawling, they become more functional, to propel him across the floor. He then proceeds to pull himself up and, for...
•Your Bunions and How To Treat Them One of the most common foot conditions is hallux abductovalgus, more commonly known as a "Bunion." A bunion is a prominence on the inside of the foot, just before the big toe. Some people are more likely to develop a bunion, especially if a parent or grandparent had one. While there is treatment for a bunion in the early stages, most do not seek out treatment until it becomes problematic.
When a bunion gets large, it makes wearing shoes difficult. The bump of the deformity presses up...
•Choosing the Right Orthotic We are inundated with advertising for products to make our feet feel better. Whether it is the "Survivor" castaways who are "gellin'" with Dr. Scholl's insoles won after a challenge or late-night infomercials showing us how stable their devices can make us, one thing is for certain...our feet hurt!!
How do we know which insole is right for us? Is it one that can be found in a drug store or supermarket? One that I saw in a shoe store? How about the guy in the mall who told me I can stand...

•Shoes: Every Morning's Important Decision I'm sitting near my gate at the airport in Dallas returning from a very worthwhile podiatry conference. My flight is delayed and I'm passing the time by doing some reading, organizing my notes from the meeting, listening to my iPod, and people watching.

•Ice vs. Heat: An Ongoing Debate You just started a new workout program and everything aches. You'd like nothing better than to soak in a warm bath to soothe those muscles. Is that the right thing to do?
You were out for a walk, stepped in a hole, and twisted your ankle and now it's bruised and swollen. Do you use ice or put a heating pad on it?
This is one of the most common questions I receive. It's also one of the more common things that people do incorrectly. It does make sense...heat on something for a long time makes...
