Cryosurgery for Feet NYC: On the Rocks, Please

Don’t let your aching feet turn you into a pumpkin at midnight; put your best foot forward this New Year by dancing and celebrating with good friends and family in 2012. If you’ve got aching feet that refuse to catch the dancing fever that’s in your heart, seek Cryosurgery in NYC to cure those aching feet. Dr. Oliver Zong and Dr. Dina Tsentserensky of NYC Footcare offer cryosurgery for feet in New York City to relieve the aches and pains on the bottoms and heals of your feet with the latest in icing, cryostar technology.

The application of ice to minor injuries, aches, and pains has been a treatment option since the beginning of medical history and is still used today to treat injuries such as mild sprains, muscle aches, to lower swelling, numb pain, relieve soreness in muscles and joints, and help prevent further injury in athletes. Until recently, ice only penetrated the skin by being applied to its surface. Cryosurgery for feet in NYC takes this methodology to the next level in pediatric care by applying a form of ice, or cooling substance, directly to the nerves itself. This will numb the nerves which transmit the sensation of pain. Dr. Oliver Zong and Dr. Tsentserensky of NYC Footcare perform cryosurgery for feet in NY in-office. The procedure itself take approximately fifteen to thirty minutes, and no preparation is required beforehand. A local anesthetic is used during the procedure because the numbing effect of the procedure itself helps maintain an adequate level of comfort throughout the procedure. Patients are typically able to resume normal daily activity and walk within one day.

Keep your feet on ice with cryosurgery in NYC in 2012, so as you dance the year away, you can be the one begging your friends to dance to just one more song, stay for just one more hour. Enjoy 2012 with the only pain in your feet being friends who can’t keep up with your dance moves. Dr. Oliver Zong, Dr. Dina Tsentserensky and their staff look forward to discussing any questions or concerns you may have about cryosurgery for feet. You can contact us at our New York Office at 1.212.385.2400 or you may request an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Zong at NYC Footcare.

Foot Facelift NYC: Made for Walking

Bunions, corns, and crooked toes are painful, unsightly, and can potentially make walking difficult. Dr. Oliver Zong and Dr. Dina Tsentserensky at NYC Footcare offers a procedure which combines all of the individual surgeries people can have done to improve both the function and cosmetic appeal of their feet. Foot facelift in New York City is a complete foot makeover to remove bunions, pinky bunions, and corns, narrow feet, correct hammer toe, and provide toe tucks, toe shortening, straightening, and lengthening. This procedure is ideal for patients who have several features they would like removed or corrected on their feet in one procedure. Foot facelift in NY can give beautiful, drastic, and overall improvement to your feet.

Dr. Oliver Zong and Dr. Dina Tsentserensky have improved and refined all the procedures patients may need during their foot facelift in New York through their years of experience and stellar service in order to achieve the best possible results. Incisions are positioned carefully in order to minimize scaring and make any visible scars as inconspicuous as possible. Recovery from foot facelift in NYC is relatively short. Most patients are able to walk immediately after surgery and can return to wearing sneakers in four to five weeks. Patients can usually enjoy a loafer-style shoe around eight weeks and may return to fashionable heels after approximately ten weeks post-surgery.

The foot facelift in New York City is NYC Footcare’s signature specialty. Although patients tend to experience some swelling even up to several months, once their feet are completely healed for the procedure, patients will fit more comfortably into their shoes. Painful bunions and corns which commonly pinch at the “knuckles” of the toes especially in stylishly pointed shoes, are removed, improving the comfort of your shoe’s fit. Patients with wide feet may have them narrowed, which will also create a roomier fit in your previously cramped shoes. Toes that are excessively long, common among second toes, can be shortened. Foot facelift in NY generally gives patients a more pleasantly shaped foot, straighter, more even toes, and relieves the pain caused by growths and toe irregularities that can no longer be treated with orthotics. Patients can once again wear sneakers, loafers, slippers, flats, heels, wedges, pumps, sandals, and boots when and where they like without pain and discomfort preventing them from enjoying what their feet were made for.

Dr. Oliver Zong , Dr. Dina Tsentserensky and their staff look forward to discussing any questions or concerns you may have about foot facelift. You can contact us at our New York Office at 1.212.385.2400 or you may request an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr Zong at NYC Footcare.

NYC Footcare Offers Treatments for Corns, Soft Corns, and Calluses in New York

In the quest for stylish footwear, we put our feet though a lot. We put them through so much, in fact, that there are often unstylish, unsightly, and downright painful repercussions. Hammertoes? Bunions? Both can be the result of wearing ill-fitting shoes.

For some, the never-ending need for style can result in patches of thick, dead skin on areas of the feet. Corns are areas of hard, thick dead skin generally found on the top of the foot. Often, they are covering areas of protruding bone, such as hammertoes. In some patients, soft corns can develop in between toes. Calluses develop on the bottom of the heel or ball of the foot. Corns, soft corns, and calluses are generally the result of irritation or poorly fitting shoes, as they often develop from repeated pressure or friction.

If you suffer from corns, soft corns, or calluses, one of the first treatment options is to simply stop wearing the poorly fitting footwear that causes them. Over time, the corn, soft corn, or callus will gradually begin to disappear on its own.

For some patients, corns require surgery to be removed. The podiatrists at NYC Footcare are skilled in removing corns with the least amount of visible scarring possible. Less severe corns can be removed without any visible scarring, as the removal incisions are located in between the toes. When corns are more severe, incisions are strategically placed to blend in with natural skin lines.

Unfortunately, corns, soft corns, and calluses are indicators of more serious foot deformities, such as hammertoes or bunions. These conditions will not go away without medical attention. If you suffer from corns, soft corns, or calluses, please schedule an appointment at NYC Footcare to diagnose the cause of the condition and discuss your possible treatment options. For more information, please visit NYC Footcare’s website or call 212-385-2400.

You Don’t Need to Live with Painful Hammertoes. NYC Footcare Offers Hammertoe Surgery in New York.

Hammertoes are painful and unattractive. If you’re living with hammertoes, here’s what you need to know.

The term “hammertoe” is applied to a toe that no longer lies straight but rather is bent into a hammer or claw-like position. More common in women than in men, hammertoes can be the result of heredity, overpronation, or poorly fitting shoes. NYC Footcare frequently sees patients that suffer from hammertoe deformities. Leading New York podiatrists Dr. Oliver Zong, Dr. Dina Tsentserensky, Dr. Angela Cheng, Dr. Tanya Powerman, and Dr. John Mwando are experienced in treating patients with hammertoes.

Hammertoes are deformities where the joints of the toe become contracted, causing the toe to curl. With this condition, the “knuckles” of the toes become prominent and can be very uncomfortable. Hammertoes are often accompanied by corns, which develop over the knuckles to protect the joint from painfully rubbing on shoes. Hammertoes are a progressive condition. Over time, the pain escalates to the point that wearing certain kinds of shoes becomes impossible. When the condition develops, it is best to catch it when still in its early stages, before it becomes fixed. Once the hammertoe is in a fixed position, the only remedy is foot surgery.

At NYC Footcare, hammertoe surgery is performed in a way that ensures the best possible outcome for your toes both functionally and cosmetically. The incision for toe straightening surgery is discretely placed between the toes in order to minimize the appearance of permanent, visible scars. The podiatry team at NYC Footcare would be happy to address any questions or concerns that you may have regarding foot surgery in New York City. Please call 212-385-2400 or request an appointment online to schedule your consultation in our Manhattan podiatry practice.
