In October, Pasco-Hernando Foot & Ankle recognizes Raynaud's Awareness Month and it's a good opportunity to share some information about this condition with our patients.

Fashions change with the seasons, and if you find that wearing pumps to go with your fall wardrobe is causing pain to the back of your heel, you may be experiencing Haglund’s deformity—more commonly known as “Pump Bump.”

Each September, we at Pasco-Hernando Foot & Ankle recognize Falls Prevention Awareness Day. Statistics show that 1 in 4 Americans 65 and older will fall this year. Falls are the primary cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries to seniors.

A condition that we frequently treat at Pasco-Hernando Foot & Ankle is hammertoe. Many patients can identify this toe deformity by its namesake bending downward at the first or second joint, resembling a hammer, but don’t necessarily know what can be done to fix it. Although initially, it may just be that the toe looks odd, this can become a painful and debilitating condition as time goes on.

At Pasco Hernando Foot & Ankle, we invite all our Nature Coast patients to join us in celebrating National “I Love My Feet” Day, which takes place on August 17th. Most of us take our feet for granted—until they aren’t working the way they should! But your feet deserve recognition. These complex structures consist of 52 bones (nearly a quarter of all the bones in your body), 66 joints, and over 200 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. All work in perfect harmony so that you can walk, run, kick, squat and reach to accomplish everything from grocery shopping to ballroom dancing. Below are seven ways to show your love and gratitude to your feet.

At Pasco Hernando Foot & Ankle, patients often don't bring unusual foot symptoms to our Hudson office if they're not painful. It is an unfortunate mistake because there are many ways besides pain that your feet may be trying to tell you that something is wrong with them or the rest of your body. Below are some symptoms you shouldn't ignore.

It’s the beginning of August, meaning the new school year is approaching. If you’re a parent or grandparent who will be buying new shoes for returning to school, we at Pasco-Hernando Foot & Ankle would like to offer some “cliff notes” to help you score the best footwear for your child or teen.
