I have toenail fungus. Can I ever wear sandals again?

You can feel summer approaching and normally you would embrace its warmth and start the hunt for great sandals, except this year you are dreading it. You know you can’t show your toenails in public.  Surely people don’t want to look at your thick, discoloured, ugly nails?  This thought leaves you feeling embarrassed.  You decide the only way to deal with it is to suffer through the heat of summer in your too-hot shoes, or perhaps you decide to wear socks with your sandals.  You close away your toes so no one can see what you are hiding. 

I want you to know that you are not alone.  Toenail fungus affects thousands of people and is the most common foot problem our Chiropodists (foot health experts) treat.  Moira was just like you.  She hid her toes for YEARS because she didn’t think anything could be done to fix them.  She tried everything - medication from her doctor and various home remedies to kill the nasty toenail infection.  Moira had given up hope that anything could be done.  And then she gave it one last effort and came to our clinic.  Our experts explained the cause of toenail fungus and why it is difficult to get rid of.  They also discussed our most successful treatment method, which includes our new LASER technology. Although skeptical, Moira decided that she didn’t have anything to lose.  She really wanted her toenails to look “normal” again.  She was tired of hiding them, and she wanted people to stop staring at her feet (!) when she dared to wear sandals. She wanted to show of her healthy nails.  And guess what?  That is EXACTLY what Moira gets to do this summer.

If you want to get the same great results as Moira, call us now to schedule your toenail fungus assessment.  It’s not too late to buy those great sandals.

FLIP-FLOPS: A major....FLOP!

After spending hours walking at this years' Cobourg Waterfront Festival (we never tire of it!), I was absolutely amazed at how many people were wearing flip-flops. There is some serious walking at this festival folks!

In recent years, flip-flops have become the new "norm" for people of all ages, not just teenagers. What used to be a shoe designed for use around the pool or at the beach, has now become a shoe worn for all activities, just like regular shoes. Sure, they are inexpensive, they let your feet air out, and some even find them comfortable, but they have NO SUPPORT! If you wear these shoes for every day use, you are risking serious injury to your feet, legs and back - injuries that can create a lifetime of painful problems.

Think about it - how does an extremely flat piece of rubber, held together by another strip of rubber, provide support? Your feet have to work really hard to keep these shoes on.

Now, I don't have an issue with the shoes themselves - they are great if used for their intended purpose - but I do take issue with people who wear them for long jaunts, or allow their kids to wear them at the playground (what would happen if the child's flip-flop got caught on the monkey bars???....CRASH!). This little flat rubber shoe is fantastic at the pool or at the beach, providing protection from the hot sand, slippery pool surround, and to protect the foot from viral (plantar warts) and fungal (athlete's foot and fungal toenails) infections. So, why not use them for just that?

If, after reading this post, you decide to continue to wear flip-flops because you are making an "informed decision", lol, please consider wearing ones with good arch support...and wear your running/walking shoes when you plan to be on your feet for long periods.

If you are a die hard flip-flop wearer and need some help getting your feet back to good health, our chiropodists would love to help you (and no, we won't lecture you...you already know better).
