Hi, this is Pete Fernbaugh.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Welcome to Trinity Talk, and our guest this week is
doctor Vincent Kalinach, Doctor Clinach.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
What is your specialty?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm a podiatrist.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Okay, so you're into podiatric medicine, right, So for the
late people among us myself included.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
What does that mean? What does that involved?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
So, podiatric medicine involves the diseases and illnesses and the
treatment of those diseases and illnesses of the lower extremity,
the lower leg and the foot mankle.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
So we're into the summer months, it's hot, out of
people are on vacations, all sorts of activities are going on.
What are some of the common problems people bring to
you your practices.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah, we see an increase in sprains and strains as
people get into doing different activities in the summertime, they'll
injure themselves and they'll come into the office with spraying strains, fractures,
sometimes some infections, ingrown nails, things like that that are
seen more frequent as we increase our activity.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Excellent, So what is the first piece of advice you
give them for preventing.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Those Really the answer is prevention and proper shoes selection
is the key. So like if you're going to go
on a hike, you want to make sure that you
have a good sturdy shoe, preferably one that laces up,
versus wearing a flip flop or something like that on
the hike. So it's important that you select the proper shoe.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Soup.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
There's some good makes of shoes.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I always tell my patient the best shoe for you
is the shoe that fits your foot the best. And
it doesn't have to be a particular brand. It just
that the type of shoe has to fit the activity
that you will be participating in.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Excellent water shoes, great idea. I don't think about that myself.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
What about going on a hike.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I like to hike, which so.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
You want to wear something that is properly fitted to
your foot and it has to have ankle support and
it should be lace up. Try to avoid any type
of an unstable boot or shoe. One that's too big
or one that's too small will only cause problems. So
you have to prepare for your hike before you go
on the hike to make sure that your shoe fits properly.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
You've mentioned ankle support.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Could you elaborate a little on that.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Sure, you know, when you're hiking, you're on uneven surfaces
and the way that the foot and ankle are connected
to each other, there has to be some stability. Our
muscles and tendons provide that for us. But when we're
doing something a little bit more strenuous, we want to
make sure that.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We have extra sle What are some warning signs that
a person should see you?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
So, you know pain, We experience pain, and that is
a warning sign to tell us that something is wrong
that we should see kill and so I always tell
my patience if you have pain, redness, swelling, you smell
some type of an abnormal odor that you need to
call your pediatrist.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I didn't realize an odor could be a sign of shortens.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Could you elaborate on that.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Infections, both bacterial and fungal, can have some type of
an odor that can be used as a warning sign.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
We get a lot of information on the internet, which
must drive you nuts as a specialist. It can What
are some common myths people believe about bookwear and about
the problem.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Over the years practicing podiaftric medicine, I've noticed that patients
will come into the office and say that, you know,
they have foot paint, and not only do we look
at their lower extremity, and we look at the shoes
that they wear into the office. And unfortunately, sometimes the
shoe may look perfectly fine, but it's either not the
appropriate shoe for the patient, or the shoe is just
(03:36):
too old, it's worn out, it's served its purpose. And
sometimes something simple is changing into a new shoe can
alleviate the majority of the patient's problems.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Oh, you know, that's one myth.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
People will say, my shoes look fine, but really they're
not and they need to replace the shoe.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
We've already covered several things people can do to prevent problems,
So are there any other tips you can give us
about keeping feet comfortable and healthy?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Every day, you should look at your feet at least
once a day if you're doing increased activities. Anytime that
you change your shoes and.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Your socks, look at your feet.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
And if you're unable to look at your feet, have
somebody else look at your feet, especially if you have
a disease process such as diabetes or poor circulation. So
an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
If we can catch.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
The disease process early on, we can eliminate the amount
of recovery time that you might have by treating the
problem quicker.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So being alert early prevention. All that just typical advice
that you give for our health. Is there anything else
that you see on a daily basis in your office
that you would like to tell our community about that
you'd like to wearllness.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Here's the most important thing.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
It's better to take care of the problem in its
early stage than it is later on. So, for instance,
if you sprain or straining your ankle this summer or work,
don't think that it's going to get better on its own.
It might, but then you may have things down the
road that could have been eliminated if we would have
treated your problem sooner. So it's very important that you
(05:12):
seek the advice of your foot and ankle specially.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Okay, so you've given us a lot of helpful tips.
You've got given us a lot of great insights into
how we can be safer this summer.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
What else should our community know about seeing at Padieta?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Sure, you know, our feet are our foundations for our
entire body, and it's very important that we take care
of our feet and it's better if we take care
of problems before they become too advanced. And the key
to that is to make sure that you see your
podiatrist on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And at what age should you start seeing At Padiaga.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
There's really no set age.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Everybody should see their foot and ankle specialists should see
their podiatrist on a regular basis. Just like when you
see your eye doctor once or twice a year, your
denis once or twice a year, you should also see
your foot doctor at least once or twice a year.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
