Treatment for Ingrown Toenail:
- Orthonyxia, a surgical technique that implants a small metal brace into the top of the nail, was as effective as traditional surgical techniques for preventing ingrown toenail from recurring, according to one study.
- A nonsurgical method for treating ingrown toenail with chemicals uses either sodium hydroxide or phenol, but one study shows that sodium hydroxide procedures have a better outcome and faster recovery than phenol procedures.
Treatment for Forefoot Pain:
- Ultrasound-guided injection of alcohol might provide relief from Morton's neuroma, according to one study. Symptoms improved in 94% of patients who had the treatment, a success rate comparable to that of surgery.
Treatment for Heel Pain:
- NSAIDs reduce pain and disability in people with plantar fasciitis when used with other techniques, such as night splints and stretching.
- Studies show that extracorporeal shockwave therapy provides a very small reduction in heel pain without side effects. It may be a good option for patients who haven't responded well to conservative treatment.
Work-related Foot Problems:
- An estimated 120,000 job-related foot injuries occur every year, about a third of them involving the toes.

Diagnosing Scoliosis
Scoliosis is diagnosed typically in children 10 - 15 years of age. However, only about 1% of cases actually require treatment. There is a large female preponderance for larger curves that do require treatment.

In another super revealing photo shoot, Gisele Bundchen stripped down to the bare minimum for the Fall issue of V Magazine. We knew these photos were coming — but wow, we didn't think it could get any steamier than her GQ spread. As hot as she looks on the cover, in the article Gisele assures us that it's just a role that she plays while also discussing fashion, success, and the rumors about her.

So now you've got your back to school wardrobe of dresses, bags, outerwear, and denim all for very reasonable prices, but let's be honest, where would we be without a good pair of shoes? Me, I would be a goner. Total shoe-fiend right here.

The other night, my husband accidentally kicked the wall and did a doozy on his toe. Normally I don't fall for it when he over dramatizes these things, but we all know that nothing hurts worse than knocking your toe on the door jamb. His toe quickly turned black and blue and he claimed it was broken.

Okay, so maybe this isn't your typical geek paraphernalia, but if you geeks are like most of the folks I roll with, you'll probably be into it. The new Reef sandals feature a James Bond-meets-frat boy function that cannot be ignored - the heel is home to a polyurethane encapsulated canteen with a screw cap. Are you planning on crusin' the boardwalk or camping with your friends and want to store the rest of that drink until later?
