Though it is our first instinct to think that this disease has something to do with either a woman named Marie or teeth, because of the name, this is not the case. Yes this disease has a funny name but it is not funny for those who have it. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (aka CMT) is the most common inherited neurological disorder, so common that it affects 1 out of every 2,500 Americans. Though it is an inherited disease it can also be caused by spontaneous...
•Barefoot Running
Copyright (c) 2010 Dr. Jennifer Feeny
Shoes have been around for a very long time, longer than most people realize. Some anthropologists believe that the first shoes (that where more like sandals) where invented around 40,000 B.C. These anthropologists noted substantially different toe bone sizes between different generations. The older generations had very big bones; the kind that are associated with a lot of hard work. Then fairly suddenly, the toe bone size got a lot smaller. A very...

Copyright (c) 2009 Dr. Jennifer Feeny
Women love their shoes, but unfortunately shoes don't always love women's feet. Fashion shoes ranging from heels to sandals can cause more than just a night of discomfort, they can cause such sever foot problems as hammer toes, Plantar Fasciitis, and ingrown toenails.

•Winter Foot Care and Maintenance
Copyright (c) 2009 Dr. Jennifer Feeny
Though it would seem that feet would strive being shielded from the elements during the colder months of the year, being cooped up for long periods of time has its disadvantages. The cold and damp weather outside mixed with the warmth and dryness inside, can lead to unhealthy feet unless proper precautions are taken. Moist and warm shoes are the perfect place for fungus to invade the nails and feet. Conversely, warm and dry heat dehydrates the heels,...
•Deeper Than It Seems: A Thorough Look At Puncture Wounds In The Foot
Copyright (c) 2009 Dr. Jennifer Feeny
Puncture wounds are more serious than most people think. Because the wound creates a hole in the foot, rather than a tear like a common cut, they are extremely prone to infections and cause more internal damage. What would seem like a simple infection on a small wound can easily spread to the bone and joint and endanger the limb if not treated in a timely manner. The severity of a puncture wound is very hard to gauge for a person without a medical...

? Copyright (c) 2009 Dr. Jennifer Feeny
The environment has been an extremely hot topic over the past few years (just look at how central of an issue it was during the 2008 presidential campaign), and industries across the board are responding - including the footwear industry.
According to the American Apparel and Footwear Association, in 2006 alone, U.S. consumers purchased 2.4 billion pairs of shoes. Granted, this was the year the U.S. population passed the 300 million mark, but we're...

Copyright (c) 2009 Dr. Jennifer Feeny
Caused by the HPV (human papilloma virus) plantar warts can be very painful and difficult to treat. They are contagious too, so it makes sense to use preventative measures to avoid contracting this virus and to be thoughtful of others if you have plantar warts yourself.
Swimming pools and changing rooms are the most common places to pick up plantar warts so it can be a good idea to wear shower shoes, or at least be sure to wash and dry your feet...

? Copyright (c) 2009 Dr. Jennifer Feeny
Having a child who loves playing outside or playing sports is such a wonderful thing these days when so many children would rather sit in front of the television and play a video game. The only problem with this great activity is that children sometimes go home complaining about heel pain.

Creating a Splash...Fish Pedicures?! Copyright (c) 2009 Dr. Jennifer Feeny
As I walked around a local mall last weekend while traveling, I noticed an advertisement for the fish pedicure. The fish pedicure is a new type of inexpensive pedicure that is popular in Asian and Turkish countries, is starting to gain attention in the United States. It is advertised as a new way to rid your feet of dry, dead skin using fish. The pedicure involves submerging your feet in water while tiny little...
•Little Feet, Lots To Know
As parents, we want what is best for our children. But, babies do not come with instruction manuals leaving parents with lots of questions. Often, parents wonder:
Will they just outgrow being pigeon toed? Or flat footed? Most often, the answer is no.
It is important for parents to pay close attention to their children's feet from the start. Adult foot pain often has its origins in childhood. Preventative care can help thwart these issues. Neglecting foot health invites problems in other...
