Custom Orthotics for Runners
Custom orthotics are simply the best way to correct subtle imbalances in the foot and ankle that can lead to running injuries. A custom orthotic is not just an arch support or a custom foot bed with extra cushioning. A custom running orthotic is a completely custom made medical device designed to control abnormal motion, correct for alignment problems and correct faulty biomechanics that can lead to running-related injury.
When a sports medicine specialist performs your biomechanical exam, the sports medicine doctor takes numerous measurements of of the positions and angles of the feet, ankle and legs. Based on all of this information, the podiatrist makes a plaster mold of the feet and writes a prescription for the orthotic fabrication. The orthotic lab uses all of this to create an exact replica of your feet and then custom forms the orthotics device that will correct any problems in alignment. This can help to increase your running efficiency and decrease the risk of running injury.
The biggest problem for many runners in San Francisco is that there isn't a lot of time to waste. Because our sports medicine podiatrist is an active Ironman triathlete, marathon runner, father and busy professional, he sympathizes with the common plight of the busy Bay Area athlete. For this reason his practice is dedicated exclusively to house calls for runners in San Francisco, Marin and the East Bay.
If you need custom orthotics, he will come right to your home or office to perform your biomechanical exam and cast you for your custom running orthotics. He will even personally deliver the orthotics to you. That way you won't have to skip a business luncheon or afternoon run just to see an expert. Let the expert come to you!

San Francisco Podiatrist Creates Video Showing Big Toe Joint Replacement Surgery
March 22, 2010 - San Francisco, CA. San Francisco Podiatrist and Foot Surgeon Dr. Christopher Segler has created an educational video clip to illustrate what exactly takes place in surgery when arthritis destroys the cartilage in the big toe joint. The condition is commonly referred to as "hallux rigidus" or "hallux limitus" by podiatrists. In essence, the condition begins when biomechanical imbalances in the foot cause the big toe joint to jam when walking. Early on this condition can be very effectively with custom orthotic shoe inserts. Custom foot orthotics can stabilize the foot and restore the proper function of the big toe joint.
If the problem is ignored and untreated, the cartilage in the big toe joint can become worn away. This is a form of osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease. The end result is that the joint becomes painful due to bone on bone grinding within the joint.
In some cases, the joint can be saved with a joint implant surgery to replace the worn out joint. Dr. Segler has arranged and conducted foot surgery workshops to help other foot surgeons learn how to perform this procedure. When the pain in the big toe joint makes it difficult to walk, hike or run, it may be necessary to consider foot surgery to help relieve the pain in the big toe joint.
The video show the steps involved in the surgical procedure. But you should be aware of the WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC ACTUAL FOOT SURGERY IMAGES. If you still want to see how this foot surgery is performed, you can view the video by clicking on the Big Toe Joint Replacement Video Link.
