>> IT IS HAPPENED TO EVERYONE YOU HAVE A CONCERN OR QUESTION BUT A LITTLE BIT TOO
EMBARRASSED TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR
SO THAT IS WHY WE ARE DOING
EVERY WEEK HERE ON NEWS 6 AT
NINE YOU’RE ASKING DOCTORS
THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
>> IN TODAY’S SEGMENT AND IDEA
CAME FROM A VIEWER WANTING TO
KNOW MORE ABOUT SOME OF THE
STORE-BOUGHT REMEDIES FOR FEED
ISSUES AND IF THEY ACTUALLY
WORK.
MORNING IN GOOD HEALTH REPORTER
KIRSTEN O’CONNOR IS STANDING BY
TO ASK A DOCTOR.
>> SO IT IS TOUGH TO TELL WHAT
IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU WHEN
YOU CAN JST BUY THINGS AT THE
STORE SO WE HAVE DOCTOR GIDEON
LEWIS FROM THE FOOT AND ANKLE
SPORTS MEDICINE INSTITUTE HERE
TO TALK WITH US.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
RANGE.
I’M SURE THERE’S A LOT TO TAKE
DOWN NICK OVER-THE-COUNTER FOR
THESE TYPES OF PRODUCTS.
WHAT ARE SOME RECORDATIONS?
>> NEW BLOCKAGES SOME OF THE
STORES IT IS JUST SO MUCH OUT
THERE ESPECIALLY WITH
PHARMACIES AND SUPERMARKETS.
ESPECIALLY BURKHOLDER SICKNESS
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE TO CHOOSE
THE SAME THING WITH THE FOOT
PRODUCTS THE SAME THING.
USUALLY FAST FOOD PRODUCTS YOU
TO USE THE SAME ANALOGY IN
TERMS OF USE EVERYTHING IN
MODERATION AND BE SMART WITH
IT.
DON’T USE OR TREATMENT PROBLEM
THAT IS EXISTING FOR A LONG
TIME.
JUST THAT SHORT REMEDY.
>> AKAYED ULLAH PATIENTS WHO
COME IN AND THEY GIVE YOU THE
SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
YOU JUST SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY
FIX THAT ON YOUR OWN.
>> YES, MANY SITUATIONS LIKE
THAT.
THE FIRST THING THE MOST COMMON
THING IS HEEL PAIN.
YOU HEAR ABOUT THE DREADED
PLANTAR FASCIITIS AND HEAR
EVERYBODY TRIED
OVER-THE-COUNTER INSERTS AND
THEY SAY IT STILL HURTS.
SO THAT IS WHEN SOME MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS COME IN HANDY
WHERE WE CAN MAKE A DIAGNOSIS
AND NUMBER TWO WE CAN GIVE YOU
THE PROPER TREATMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING SOME
MORE SUPPORTIVE SHOE INSERTS IF
THAT IS THE DIRECTION OF GOING.
AND THINGS YOU CAN PURCHASE
OVER-THE-COUNTER.
POWDERS AND CREAMS AND ALL KIND
OF THINGS.
>> POWDERS AND CREAMS AND OILS
LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING OUT
THERE.
SO IT IS KIND OF LIKE GOING
BACK TO WORK COMMON COLD, SO
MANY THINGS LIKE STREP THROAT
OR WHATEVER VIRUS YOU WOULD
HAVE BUT WITH ALL THESE
DIFFERENT POWDERS OF SOMETHING
IS PERSISTING YOUR ISSUE IS
STILL PERSISTING FOR OVER A
COUPLE DAYS, AND THAT RESOLVING
OR EVEN MAKING IT WORSE YOU
HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT
WHICH ONES YOU SELECT.
>> OKAY YOU ARE SAYING IF YOU
GO AND TRY TO TREAT IT
OVER-THE-COUNTER AND IT’S NOT
WORKING YOU REALLY SHOULD SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
>> MOST DEFINITELY I THINK THE
FIRST THING IS YOU NEED TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT IS THE CAUSE.
SO COME PLAY A ROLE.
AS FAR AS IF IT’S A SMALL WHEN
YOU SEE QUITE A BIT.
SOMETHING GREAT
OVER-THE-COUNTER PADS AND SKIN
APPLICATIONS THAT CAN ATTACH TO
YOUR SHOES.
BUT THEN YOU HAVE SOME
DIFFERENCES OF SELZNIK ACID AND
WART REMOVAL PRODUCTS YOU TO BE
CAREFUL WITH.
ANYTIME PUTTING ACID TO TRY TO
TREAT A LESION CAN ACTUALLY
BREAK DOWN THE SKIN TO WHERE
YOU CAN GET AN INFECTION.
YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL
WITH THOSE ISSUES.
>> YOU CAN MAKE A BIGGER
PROBLEM.
>> YES, YOU DEFINITELY CAN.
>> YOU MENTION POSTURE
FASCIITIS AND I’VE HEARD ABOUT
THAT SEVERAL TIMES FROM FRIENDS
OF MINE.
DANCERS AND PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
THAT IS SOMETHING WHERE YOU
ALMOST CANNOT WALK AND THAT
SHOULD BE A WARNING SIGN.
>> IT IS.
IT IS FUNNY WHEN YOUR FEET HURT
YOUR WHOLE BODY HURTS.
WITH HEEL PAIN OR ARCH PAIN IF
YOU JUST WANT A FAST TREATMENT
BECAUSE IF YOU SEE A DOCTOR IT
IS CUMBERSOME.
SO PEOPLE TRIED AS A QUICK FIX
IS A SHOE INSERT USING MY
RECOMMENDATION IS GO TO THE
PHARMACY OR EVEN TO THE
SUPERMARKET GO TO A SPECIALIZED
RUNNING SHOE STORE WHERE YOU
MIGHT PAY A LITTLE BIT EXTRA
FOR IT BUT THE QUALITY WILL BE
A LOT MORE SUPERIOR.
>> BARBARA SOME OF THE MOST
COMMON THINGS THAT YOU DO TREAT
WHEN PEOPLE ARE SEEKING
ATTENTION FROM YOU WHO IS A
DOCTOR?
>> I HAVE A VERY LARGE SPECTRUM
FROM ANKLE SPRAINS TO
FINGERNAILS AND FUNGAL NAILS OR
EVEN WART CONDITIONS.
SO WITH A LARGE SPECTRUM ALL
THE SUPERMARKETS, PHARMACY
PRODUCTS THERE’S SOMETHING FOR
EACH ONE.
SO ONE OF THOSE THAT I TREAT MY
PRODUCT IS SPORTS MEDICINE.
A LOT OF ANKLE SPRAYING THAT IS
WHAT PEOPLE FIND WITH ANKLE
BRACES AND STRAPPING THE
TAPINGS AS WELL AS DIFFERENT
SHOE INSERTS.
>> AND ADJUST FROM PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE THAT YOU COULD EVEN
HAVE A BREAK IN HER ANKLE AND
THINK YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF IT
ON YOUR OWN BEFORE AN X-RAY.
SO DO SOMETHING THAT YOU REALLY
DO NEED TO TAKE SERIOUSLY IF
YOUR EXPERIENCE IN PAIN FOR A
LONG TIME.
>> THAT IS DEFINITELY TRUE.
IN MY PRACTICE I FEEL PEOPLE
COMPLAIN WITH PAIN HAVE BEEN
GONE FOR TWO WEEKS OR EVEN A
MONTH AND AT THE END OF THE DAY
IT IS LIKE THEY NEED SOME
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL HELP.
>> YES, DEFINITELY.
