Why are They Called Plantar Warts?

#HerndonVA Doctor Stanley Idiculla here; your favorite podiatrist in Herndon. Do you ever wonder where plantar warts get their name? Let me tell you.

When a wart that is caused by a virus develops on the bottom of the foot, it is called a plantar wart because the area of the foot where they develop is also known as the plantar section. Thus, the word “plantar” is merely used to denote where the wart has formed.

If you notice a strange growth on the bottom of your foot and suspect that it might be a plantar wart, stop by my office here in Herndon and let me take a look.

What is the Lateral Plantar Nerve?

#HerndonVA It’s amazing to study all of the nerves, muscles, tissues and bones of the feet. Each one has an important role, and if afflicted, can cause lots of pain.

I’m Doctor Stanley Idiculla, an orthopaedic specialist in Herndon, and I would like to talk to you today about the lateral plantar nerve.

The lateral plantar nerve has both superficial and deep branches that stretch out across the foot. It is part of the tibial nerve, and affects the muscle called the flexor digiti minmi brevis, whose function is to flex the little toe. When the lateral plantar nerve combines with the medial plantar nerve, a painful condition develops called morton’s neuroma.

If you think you have morton’s neuroma, or are experiencing other issues with foot pain, visit me, Doctor Idiculla, at my office here in Herndon.

Advice for Those in Ballet

#HerndonVA Do you or someone you know spend your free time in dance activities such as ballet?

Hi, this is Doctor Stanley Idiculla, a podiatrist in Herndon, and today, I want to speak to those of you in ballet about special precautions that should be taken with your feet.

When you wear ballet shoes, your feet are constricted to a very small space, while you are constantly putting them under pressure. Subsequently, you can develop blisters and calluses quite easily. Even more seriously, conditions such as sesamoids, plantar fasciitis, bunions, or hammertoes can also emerge.

Seeing a podiatrist should be a regular practice for those who are in ballet in order to avoid problems. I encourage you to stop by my office here in Herndon, so that we can help.
