Your Health from the Bottom Up: What your feet can tell us about your overall health

He also has comprehensive training in lower extremity diabetic treatment. He heads Advanced Podiatry, a practice with several locations in the greater New York area.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Pedram Hendizadeh discuss the following:
Why is it so important to take care of our feet even if we feel no pain?
What are some signs we should be aware of that indicate you have a foot issue?
Are you seeing any changes in foot health during the pandemic?
Are there any symptoms of the foot that can be an indication of a “larger” illness?
What can we do to maintain good healthy feet?
Concluding Tip: Do not ignore your health during the pandemic believing it would be more dangerous to venture out to see a doctor. Medical offices are fully prepared to treat patients in a safe way so if you notice anything out of the ordinary like swelling of the feet -- particularly if you have been rather sedentary -- this can be a sign of gout, edema or some other condition that requires attention.

He is Board Certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgery as well as the American Aesthetic Institute. He was rated a top podiatrist in the world by RateMDS.com for four years in a row.
Dr. Hendizadeh graduated as an Honors Scholar from the University of Connecticut and attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. He completed his surgical residency at Kern Hospital and Medical Center in Michigan and is currently on the staff at Northwell Health Systems, St. Francis Hospital (Catholic Health System) Huntington Hospital and North Queens Surgery Center.

Simplifying foot taping to provide optimal arch support and pain relief

 
 
Lori Coates, Founder of the QUICK TAPE Foot Support Strap, designed by Coates and her son Chris, that implifies foot taping to provide optimal arch support and pain relief in a single, easy-to-use strap joins eHealth Radio and the Foot Health and Health News Channels.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Lori Coates discuss the following:
What exactly is plantar fasciitis, what causes it and are certain people more prone to it?
Why is plantar fasciitis so notoriously hard to treat?
What treatment methods are available, and how well do they work?
What can someone do to prevent plantar fasciitis?
How does the QUICK TAPE strap work?
 
Lori Coates is the Founder of Support the Foot and co-inventor of the QUICK TAPE Foot Support Strap, an innovative, easy-to-apply product that provides instant support and fast relief from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, and other types of foot and ankle pain. After doctors had told Lori’s son Chris that surgery was the only option to treat his severe plantar fasciitis, Chris and Lori consulted with a podiatrist, who taped his foot as a temporary measure. Much to their surprise, Chris experienced dramatic relief just from the taping. While taping worked, it was a tedious, time-consuming process to tape Chris’s foot every day. Lori and Chris set out to design a simpler, more comfortable alternative that would provide the same level of relief as foot taping done at a podiatrist’s office. Support The Foot was born, with QUICK TAPE as its flagship product.Based on the clinically proven Low Dye taping method, QUICK TAPE straps dramatically simplify the foot taping process, letting patients tape their own feet effectively at home without the time and expense of a trip to the podiatrist. Each strap is made from durable medical grade cloth athletic tape and can be applied in a matter of seconds. Since launching Support The Foot in 2016, podiatrists, sports medicine doctors and athletic trainers in 19 states and 4 countries have incorporated QUICK TAPE into their practices.
QUICK TAPE Foot Support Straps are also available for online purchase at www.supportthefoot.com.
