most referred foot doctor in Camarillo

Ingrown toenails are when the nail curves into the skin and causes a localized infection with pain and swelling. This condition can affect all ages, both children and adults. Genetics are a predisposition factor and aging can increase the odds of having an ingrown toenail. Improper nail trimming can also lead to ingrown toenails. Occasionally trauma to the nail can be a cause. For over thirty years I have treated ingrown toenails many different ways. By far the most effective treatment is the use of a laser. The nail can be treated with the use of a laser with very little discomfort and no disability. A laser beam is used to evaporate the tissue that generates nail. This will reduce swelling and pain, while helping to prevent future ingrown toenails.

One of the most common things I see in the office is severe pain on the bottom of the foot. It hurts the most first thing in the morning or getting up after sitting for a prolonged period. It can be diagnosed in minutes with the aid of digital x-ray system in my office. Aging, trauma and overuse can all cause heel pain. Some people are born with naturally flat feet, which predisposes them to heel pain. I have consistently good results when prescribing custom digital orthotics.

A flatfoot deformity is where the arch on the inside border of the foot is more flat than normal. Flatfoot deformities can occur in all age groups, but appear most commonly in children. Some of these children grow up into adults who have feet with normal arches, but many of these children have pain related to their flatfoot deformity throughout their lives. It is very important that children with flatfoot deformity be evaluated by a podiatrist to determine if they need treatment to prevent future pain or deformity in their feet.

Doctor Williams specializes in custom orthotics custom made for your foot and not pre-fabricated on an assembly line. They match the exact contours of your feet and are based on a complete evaluation of your feet, ankles and unique pathology. All orthotics are fabricated from digital scans taken of your feet from the country’s premiere biomechanical lab. We offer a full range of custom orthotics that will fit all types of shoes.
