Podiatry Services from Dr. Cooper

Dr. Cooper is a trained podiatrist who can provide multiple services for foot and ankle care.

 

Let us help you with...

  • Digital X-Rays

    • One way he provides patients with effective service is through the use of digital x-rays, which assist him in making accurate diagnoses. Digital x-rays produce high-quality images and involve less radiation than older x-ray technology.

  • Sports and Work Injuries
    • Dr. Cooper can provide foot and ankle care for injuries sustained during sporting activities or on the job.

      The sports injury classification includes injuries that occur while participating in a sport, but any foot or ankle condition could negatively affect athletic performance. Be familiar with ways to help prevent injuries, and trust a podiatrist when injuries do keep you from enjoying sporting activities.

      As for work injuries, multiple foot conditions can develop on the job, particularly for those on their feet during the workday. Watch out for corns, calluses, bunions, heel and arch pain, and hammertoes.
  • Foot and Ankle Conditions
    • Whether a foot or ankle condition can be treated at the Eastern Idaho Foot Clinic office or requires surgical treatment at a nearby facility, Dr. Cooper provides expertise and a personalized approach to patient care. Following is information on conditions that Dr. Cooper is positioned to treat. More information on each is available on the services page.
  • Athlete's Foot and Bone Spurs
    • Athlete’s foot can cause the skin to itch, burn, and crack. This contagious fungal infection often begins with a rash between toes.

      Bone spurs are bony growths that can cause pain, stiffness, and limited motion and can result from repeated bone stress, injury, and osteoarthritis.
  • Bunions, Corns, and Calluses

    • Bunions are bony protrusions that cause the big toe to point inward. Shoes that fit improperly, arthritis, foot stress, injury, and genetics can all be factors leading to bunions.

      The thick, hardened skin of corns and calluses is caused by friction or pressure. Calluses are larger than corns but are not usually painful.

  • Diabetic-Related Symptoms

    • Diabetes can cause multiple issues, including burning, tingling, cramps, and sharp pain in the feet. Symptoms also include weakness of the foot and lower leg muscles.

  • Flat Feet and Hammertoes

    • With flat foot, there is an absence of a foot arch when one is standing or walking. The condition can cause discomfort while walking, pain, and swelling.

      Hammertoes occur with a tightening of muscles and tendons that causes toes to point upward. A change in footwear, adding orthotics, and toe exercises are among treatments. Surgery can also be a corrective approach.

  • Heel and Arch Pain

    • One common reason for heel and arch pain is plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes. Another common reason is Achilles tendonitis, which results from injury to the tendon connecting your calf muscle to your heel bone.

  • Ingrown Toenails, Neuromas, and Plantar Warts

    • Ingrown toenails are nails that have grown into the skin. Pain, swelling, and infection can result. Home remedies can be applied, and a healthcare professional can provide medical treatment.

      Neuromas are abnormal tissue growths that can lead to pain, burning, and tingling. Morton’s neuroma is a common type. Those with neuromas may experience pain or a feeling of burning in the ball of the foot. Symptoms also include numbness between the toes.

      Plantar warts are rough growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Plantar warts often manifest black dots that are clotted blood vessels.
