Please Pardon Our Dust!
We would like to announce that starting the week of December 5th, our Noblesville office will be undergoing a month-long renovation. We are adding more treatment space and areas for patient care, and improving the decor and overall ambiance of the office space. This will be done in stages to try and limit disruption to patient care as best as possible. Please bear with us during this process, and we hope you enjoy the results.
As a reminder, the end of the year draws near. If you have been waiting until the end of the year to have your surgery performed before your deductible period resets, NOW is the time to call for your surgical consultation and scheduling appointment. December surgical slots are filling up fast, and we may not be able to get your surgery in before December 31st if you wait too long to call. We look forward to hearing from you, and helping to make your feet feel better this winter.
From our family to yours, we would like to wish all our patients and friends a happy and joyous Thanksgiving this week.
So that we may be with our families, the offices will be closed Thanksgiving Day and Friday. Our doctors can still be contacted for medical emergencies and urgent matters by calling the office and following the promps on the messaging system. Please hold all routine matters for when the office opens back again on Monday.
Own a Nintendo Wii, Playstation Move, or Xbox Kinect, and Also Have Foot Problems?
Motion controlled gaming is wildly popular, and many families and individuals under the age of 45 own at least one of these gaming consoles and add-on peripherals. These games often require somewhat vigorous activity while standing and jumping in place or moving ones arms about, and differ from the way traditional games are played. These motions require balance, and may create strain and pressure to the feet. Since games are nearly always played at home, a great deal of gamers are barefoot or in limited shoe wear. This predisposes one to foot injury, and in the case of those with active foot problems this seemingly relaxing activity can actually worsen the condition. When participating in motion controlled gaming, one should be certain to wear supportive shoes as would be worn with any physical activity. If one wears orthotics or shoe inserts, these need to be in the shoes as well, just like with any activity. And don’t forget, clear the playing surface to prevent the accidental kicking of coffee tables and couches. No one needs to suffer a toe fracture when taking on a virtual boxer!
If you have an appointment on Monday, October 31st, feel free to join in the Halloween festivities and wear a costume. Our staff will be appearing in costume, and will be choosing a character from the decade in which they were born. Expect to see some characters from the 1950's through the 1980's. We would love to see your own costumed character. If you are not due into the office that day, have a happy and safe Halloween anyway!
