Ending Restless Legs: A Heartfelt Thank You Letter from Our Patient Ella!

Posted on by admin

A year ago, Ella was just five days out of surgery after undergoing a nerve decompression procedure, and the change in her life was already remarkable. Before the operation, she had been suffering from severe sleep deprivation, only managing around five hours of sleep a week. This level of exhaustion had become her norm, and the toll it took on her physical and mental well-being was immense. However, within just five days post-op, Ella was already experiencing significant improvements. She was finally able to sleep through the night, something she hadn’t done in years.

Now, one year later, Ella’s progress continues to astound. The nerve decompression procedure has had a lasting impact on her quality of life, restoring a sense of normalcy she hadn’t thought possible. Before, the constant pain and discomfort had severely limited her ability to rest, leading to overwhelming fatigue. However, since the surgery, Ella’s sleep has dramatically improved, and she’s been able to enjoy peaceful nights of uninterrupted rest. Not only has her sleep returned to a healthy pattern, but the nerve-related pain that once dominated her life has subsided, giving her the freedom to focus on other aspects of her health and happiness.

This follow-up story with Ella offers insight into the long-term benefits of the nerve decompression procedure. Her recovery journey highlights the procedure’s effectiveness in reducing nerve pain and improving sleep. For those considering similar treatments, Ella’s experience serves as a powerful example of the lasting relief and improved quality of life that can come from addressing nerve compression issues through surgery.

Corinna treated her toenail fungus with our laser treatment

Posted on by admin

Toe nail fungus (Onychomycosis) is a common affliction. The yellow discoloration and thickening are annoying. Many call it an icky problem. At Anderson Podiatry Center we were one of the first laser treatment centers in the country. We have lots of experience and are happy to report that our patients like Corinna are happy with their results. She shares her experience in this video and you’ll to see how clear her nails are. So if you’re tired of using topical antifungal agents that are unsuccessful or are concerned about the liver toxicity of the oral medication Lamisil then consider laser.

If you’d like to see more testimonials please visit our youtube channel here.

What are the symptoms of fungal nails?

  • Thickening nails
  • Nails break or peel easily
  • Yellow or discolored appearance
  • Nail pulls away or break from the toe

How do we treat it?

The fungus in nails differs from Athlete’s foot in resistance and therefore harder to treat. Upon infecting the nail it usually gets even more demanding. Off the counter medication may not work for everyone and that is why laser treatment is effective in rectifying the problem.

Laser treatment plus points

  • Lack of pain or recovery time
  • Repeated applications for lengthy time frame or use of toxic meds
  • Specific are of the nail is targeted with no spill over to the skin or nail area
  • Immediate visual improvement due to the grinding down of thick nails to ensure the laser can reach the affected area.

Prevention

  • Always keep your toes and feet dry.
  • Shoes need to be aired out between usage.
  • Socks should be changed regularly, especially after working out or sweating.
  • Keep a separate pair of nail clippers and files
  • Use baking soda to keep your shoes dry and it also helps remove odour
  • Medical spas are better to get a manicure or pedicure since they keep all supplies sterilized and disinfected
  • While showering in a public place use sandals

The End Of Heel Pain! Our 1-2…..-3 Punch Treatment!

Posted on by admin

(Be sure to watch until the end of the video for an Ultrasound visual of before and after Ray’s fascia!)

Ray’s bump in the trail.

The plantar fascia has a BIG job. It stabilizes the arch of the foot and allows flexion of the first metatarsal, enabling the first metatarsal to carry the majority of the body weight. In other words, when the plantar fascia gets tired and aggravated, you’ll know very quickly! Your heel will hurt like crazy, especially if you’re an active person like our patient, Ray. “Before I came to see Dr. Anderson for treatment, I had heel pain for about a year. I would get this pain when I would run, or hike or snowshoe… so a lot of things that I enjoy doing!”

Running out of options…

“After about 9 months of this, I couldn’t run… I couldn’t do any of these things that I enjoyed.” Ray attempted physical therapy for relief, but with no avail. While we were impressed with Ray’s perseverance, we were very eager to ease him of his heel pain. After meeting with Ray, we found that he actually had Plantar Fasciosis, which means that his fascia was deteriorating rather than getting inflamed!  Knowing this offered Ray the ability to  get treatment specifically tailored to the ACTUAL cause.

Our 3 Step Approach!

“So I went to Dr. Anderson, who gave me custom orthotics, laser therapy, and regenerative medicine.” We ended up taking Ray through our 3 step approach for heel pain from start to finish! At Anderson Podiatry Center, our ultimate goal is to ensure we can get our patients back to the activities they enjoy as fast as possible. Ray was in a hurry to get back into action, and as exercise enthusiasts ourselves, we understood his urgency! We took him through these 3 steps so that he could get back out on the trail as quickly as possible.

It’s a RUNderful life!

“3 months after having the injection, orthotics and the laser therapy, I feel 100% better! I can run, I can hike, I can do anything that I want. Now I’m back to running 10-15 miles a week!”

Our doctors deeply care about our patients and their recovery, even well after we treat them. We always follow up with our patients, and after a recent follow up with Ray we were ecstatic to hear that he recently ran 9 miles without any heel pain! He was excited to announce that he is currently training for a half marathon. 

If you or a loved one have been putting the activities that make you happy on the backburner! We would love to get to know you, hear about what’s been holding you back, and work with you to plan an approach to rid you of heel pain!

Bunion Pain – Gone!

Posted on by admin

New Year… New Feet… New Shoes!

“Beauty is Pain”

For Susan, the saying, “Beauty is Pain” rang very true when she discovered that trying to fit into her stylish shoes was causing her feet unbearable irritation and foot pain from her bunions! “They became very painful, and it was hard to find shoes that were comfortable.” Susan was one of many bunion (big toe pain) patients that we see in our office. In fact, there are 3 million cases reported in the United States each year! 

Something had to be done…

“The bunions were really difficult because they had grown worse over the years. My mom had them horribly, and I just couldn’t go down that road. I decided to go forward with the surgery!” Susan couldn’t bear her bunions preventing her from sporting her favorite footwear any longer, so she came to us to get them removed. Bunion surgery has a high success rate and will have you walking comfortably for life.

Pop back in her step!

We were happy to help Susan with her unbearable foot pain. The surgery went remarkably well, and she is beaming at the sight of her brand new feet! “I’m so thankful, I can’t say enough about how good Dr. Anderson was and the staff, everybody has been great.” 

Along with the support of her family, Susan should never be at a shortage of stylish footwear again. “My family pulled through for Christmas. I received a DSW gift card and I bought NORMAL shoes and they feel great! I’m very very happy with my new feet.”

Do you or a loved one have bunions? We would love to discuss options with you. Give us a call to make foot pain a thing of the past!

Tora’s Recovery From Arthritic Feet With Stem Cell

Posted on by admin

Tora came to Anderson Podiatry with pain due to her arthritic feet, making it hard to walk or stand for long periods of time. After a treatment with stem cell. Anderson Podiatry was able to significantly reduce her pain and keep Tora on her feet!

Tora had some arthritic joints in her mid food, and about 4 months ago we treated her with regenerative medicine. According to Tora, she was was having a lot of pain in her feet and could not walk for long periods of time. Her feet would especially hurt at night after being up all day. After her regenerative medicine procedure, Tora’s feet are much better. She can be up for longer periods of time and can walk 2x the distance she could before.

If pain in your feet, ankles, knees, hips, or shoulders is keeping you from being active, breakthrough regenerative medicine can help turn back the clock. Regenerative medicine can stimulate your body’s NATURAL healing process, relieving pain with a small downtime.

Regenerative medicine is an exciting, advanced treatment option that has been offered at Anderson Podiatry Center for over eight years. It is a incredibly popular treatment among our patients since it can reduce or eliminate the need for surgery. The treatments are also very safe, with little to no downtime when compared to surgical options, and have lasting results.

At Anderson Podiatry, we have been using this technology to treat conditions below the knee, and have seen great success. We have also recently added it as a treatment option for the nerve disorders we treat, including neuropathy and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS).

The treatment stimulates your body at a deep level to regenerate damaged tissues or joints, decreasing pain. As we get older, our joints, soft tissues and tendons will begin to degenerate.

Relief from Arthritic Joint Pain – Ken’s Story

Ken had an arthritic joint in his right foot and underwent regenerative medicine to provide him relief. This pain popped up almost overnight for Ken, and the next day he could not walk or put any weight on his foot. In fact, Ken was limping around since the foot was so swollen and painful.

Anderson Podiatry Center numbed the area and used a product derived from placenta cells to inject in Ken’s foot. Afterwards, there was a small bit of pain, but Ken was walking comfortably and is now entirely back to normal. No more pain!

Judy’s Story: Finally, Relief from Neuropathy

Posted on by admin

Judy Schmidt was at the end of her rope. After more than 20 years of debilitating neuropathy, countless doctors’ appointments, and pain that just wouldn’t let up, she was ready to quit. Finally, she found hope for her neuropathic pain.

Life Before Neuropathy

Judy was a woman with a life. She had run a successful business for more than 30 years, and had no plans to stop. She was a wife and a mother, and had a very active social life. She walked five miles every night, and loved to dance with her husband. Life was good as she experienced no symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.

A Devastating Diagnosis

Suddenly, Judy started to feel burning in her feet. “It just kept getting worse and worse. I went to the doctor, and he said I had neuropathy, or tarsal tunnel syndrome,” Judy says.

“The pain was getting so bad that I couldn’t sleep at night, and I had to go on narcotics. I eventually had to end my career five years earlier than I wanted to because the pain was so severe.”

In a Wheelchair

“I ended up in a wheelchair because I just couldn’t walk any more. I couldn’t drive, I couldn’t go to the store. And, I couldn’t feel my feet anymore, yet I was in excruciating pain 24/7,” Judy says.

She tried everything. Acupuncture, chiropractic care, medication. “They recommended that to reduce the pain we put a pain pump in my stomach to release medicine constantly in my system, and I refused,” says Judy.

She was ready to travel across the country for treatment. “I tried to get into several major hospitals, but they said there was nothing they could do for me.”

Ready to Give Up

“I became a recluse,” Judy recalls, “I didn’t go out with friends anymore, because I couldn’t walk and keep up with the social activities.”

After two nervous breakdowns from being in nonstop pain, and a diminished quality of life, Judy was ready to give up on her nervous system and peripheral nerves. “I’m not that kind of person, I always try to stay very positive and think there’s someone out there who has it worse than me. But, the pain wears you down mentally, and I just got to the point I didn’t want to live anymore.”

A Daughter Steps In

Judy’s daughter Tammy saw that her mom was on a downward spiral. “I felt that I was losing my mom and it was time to do something,” Tammy says. As a nurse who had spent 20+ years in the medical field, Tammy was determined to find a solution.

She went online, did her research, found Dr. Anderson, and made an appointment.

Finally, Joy

Both of Judy’s daughters made the trip from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins to take Judy to see Dr. Anderson, and they finally felt like they had a solution. “They believed in him immediately, and they were dancing in the exam room,” Judy says.

Dr. James Anderson, DPM, says “Judy was suffering from severe neuropathy and nerve pain, and was a great candidate for nerve decompression surgery in both legs.”

Nerve decompression surgery takes less than an hour, patients can walk the next day, and most patients experience little to no pain during recovery.

Judy’s Life Today

Just a few weeks after surgery, Judy came back to see Dr. Anderson, and this time, she was crying tears of joy.

“I moved my toes for the first time in twenty years. I felt the pedal of the car, and carpet under my toes, and I can walk!”

Judy is back to living: walking, driving, grocery shopping, and of course, spending time with her daughters. She is building up her strength again after so many years of not being able to stand and walk.

“To me, this is a miracle,” Judy says, “ I feel like I have my life back, and I am so grateful to Dr. Anderson. My husband and I are going to be dancing again by the end of the year.”

Julie’s story – Chronic Pain Testimonial Solution

She was always in pain. After seeing many doctors and having dozens of test and procedures, she finally was provided a correct diagnosis. Unfortunately before she could arrive at it, she was informed she needed to remove her gall bladder. Which she did!

Finally she was referred to Dr. Demetrio Aguila who diagnosed Julie with post-herpetic-neuralgia – chronic pain after Shingles. Dr. Aguila operated on Julie removing painful neuromas from her intercostal nerves. After the successful operation she felt a new pain that was masked by the old chronic pain. In the second surgery the doctor removed a bone spur and another neuroma.
