Warts
Arthritis
Plantar Fasciitis
If youâ€™re feeling pain after sitting, walking, or standing for a long period of time, as well as when you first step out of bed or climb stairs, you may be showing signs of plantar fasciitis. To know whatâ€™s causing you pain for sure and to avoid the condition worsening over time, itâ€™s best to meet with a podiatrist as soon as possible. They will conduct an examination and x-ray of your foot in order to make a proper diagnosis and advise a treatment plan.
Cryotherapy
If you have plantar warts, your podiatrist may try different treatment methods depending on your specific case. Some treatments for plantar warts are peeling medicines (salicylic acid), freezing medicines (cryotherapy), or surgical procedures. Laser treatments and vaccines are also used to treat plantar warts.
Primary Care
It is important that you refer to your insurance policy regarding possible requirements such as a referral from your primary care physician or a second opinion before surgery. We encourage you to become familiar with the terms and conditions of your policy, because ultimately, the responsibility for payment is the patientâ€™s. A complete payment plan is designed with an appropriate payment schedule. Forms of payment accepted by the office are cash, check, or any major credit card.
Emergency Care
Whether you need urgent care due to a foot injury or you need to see a podiatrist for an ongoing condition, Ankle and Foot Centers of Missouri, P.C. has been providing podiatry services and is the best choice when it comes to your feet and ankle health. Our doctors specialize in all areas of the foot and ankle, and we pride ourselves on providing the latest diagnostic and treatment options.
Diabetic Foot Care

Ultrasound
In the Tenex procedure, ultrasound is precisely administered through a hollow needle at the site of pain. Diseased plantar fascia tissue is broken up-leaving healthy tissue undisturbed-and the bodyâ€™s natural healing process is stimulated. No general anesthesia is needed, and the incision where the needle was inserted is so small, usually a bandage is all that is needed. Recovery time is accelerated with this procedure (typically 4-6 weeks), and it usually only requires one treatment. In the minimally invasive Topaz procedure, the podiatrist uses the Topaz wand (similar to a sewing needle) to poke small holes in a grid pattern on the bottom of the foot. Each time the needle is inserted, a split-second pulse of radio-frequency energy enters the plantar fascia and dissolves inflamed scar tissue. This causes blood flow to return and healthy tissue to develop.
MRI
Podiatrists rely upon a full medical history and a neurological examination to diagnose peripheral neuropathy in the foot. More tests that may be used include nerve function tests to test nerve damage and blood tests to detect diabetes or vitamin deficiencies. Imaging tests, such as CT or MRI scans, may be used to look for abnormalities. Nerve or skin biopsies may also be taken.
X-Rays

Orthopedics
Wound Care
Dr. Theoharidis treats all ailments related to the foot and ankle and specializes in wound care, the special needs of diabetic patients, neuropathic pain, and sports related injuries. He also gives foot health and wound care lectures and presentations to the community and medical professionals. He is also an Associate Professor of Surgery at UMKC School of Medicine in Kansas City, MO.
Ankle Surgery
When it comes to receiving foot and ankle surgery, itâ€™s typically a case by case situation. Some factors that play a role in whether or not you need surgery include the severity of your symptoms as well as your response to other conservative, noninvasive treatment methods.
Bunions
Reasons that a person may develop a bunion can vary. Some patients may form bunions due to genetic factors, complications with arthritis, or a weak foot structure. General aging can also play a role in the formation of a bunion.
Ingrown Toenails
There are many reasons why an ingrown toenail may develop. Improperly cutting your toenails is a major cause of ingrown toenails. If toenails arenâ€™t cut straight across or are cut too short, the likelihood of getting an ingrown toenail may increase. Other causes include having unusually curved toenails, wearing shoes that donâ€™t give your toes an ample amount of space, and hereditary factors. Injuring the toe by stubbing it or having an object fall on it may also lead to ingrown toenails. If left untreated, an ingrown toenail can lead to further complications with the foot.

Skin Cancer
Skin cancer may develop anywhere on your body, including your feet. Skin cancer on the feet is most typically due to genetics, viruses, chronic irritation or inflammation, and exposure to chemicals-as opposed to exposure to the sunâ€™s harmful rays.
Corns
Those experiencing hammertoe may also find other foot related issues that come with this condition, such as corns or calluses. Some factors that may influence your likelihood of getting hammertoe include old age, toe length, improper footwear, and genetics. Those who have diabetes or arthritis are also more likely to have foot related complications, including hammertoe.
Ulcer
Patients suffering from diabetes should take particular care to monitor their feet for any signs of ulcer development. Ulcers are open sores or wounds that develop from tissue loss on the skin. Typically, these sores can become very painful. Those with diabetes are at risk for developing neuropathy or nerve damage and are therefore more likely to develop ulcers without realizing. In extreme circumstances, infected ulcers may require the affected foot or leg to be amputated.
Calluses
If over-the-counter inserts donâ€™t work for youÂ or if you have a more severe foot concern, it is possible to have your podiatrist prescribe custom orthotics. These high-quality inserts are designed to treat problems such as abnormal motion, plantar fasciitis, and severe forms of heel pain. They can even be used to help patients suffering from diabetes by treating foot ulcers and painful callusesÂ and are usually molded to your feet individually, which allows them to provide full support and comfort.
Fungus
The area of the toes is generally warm and damp, unfortunately making it a great area for fungus to grow within. If left untreated, the fungal infection can spread, which is why itâ€™s so important to get professional help early on to consider your treatment options.
Lesions
If you suspect you have plantar warts, you may have the following symptoms: pain or tenderness while walking, a lesion that interrupts the ridges in the skin of your foot, small fleshy lesions on the bottom of the foot, or a callus where a wart has grown inward over a well-defined spot on the skin.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
We are experts at sports medicine and use a variety of methods and procedures such as amnion therapies. Amniotic membrane (AM) and amniotic fluid (AF) products are at the forefront of regenerative medicine, and our podiatrists have successfully used these applications to heal wounds and repair tissue in many patients.
Physical Therapy
Treatment depends upon the specific cause of neuropathy. If the neuropathy was caused by vitamin deficiency, diabetes, infection, or toxic substances, treating the condition can lead to the nerve healing and sensation returning to the area. If the nerve has died, however, sensation may never return to the area. Pain medication may be prescribed for less serious symptoms. Certain topical creams may work to bring back sensation. Electrical nerve stimulation may be used for a period of time to stimulate nerves, and physical therapy can strengthen muscles and improve movement. Surgery may be necessary if pressure on the nerve is causing the neuropathy.

General Podiatry
To ensure your convenience, below is the information you need about our podiatry office, including our hours, location, appointment scheduling and insurance acceptance.
Achilles Tendonitis
There are many different causes of heel pain, including strains or sprains, tarsal tunnel syndrome, stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, and heel bursitis. One of the most common causes of heel pain for children and teenagers specifically is Severâ€™s disease. Severâ€™s disease can develop due to overuse or repetitive microtrauma of the heel bone's growth plates. This condition is often seen among those who are active in sporting activities.
Ankle Sprain
As with any sporting activity, itâ€™s very important to be aware of the safety precautions needed to help avoid injury and reduce risk. With that being said, injuries of the foot and ankle are fairly common among those who actively participate in sports. Some sports may be considered more dangerous in terms of foot and ankle injuries compared to others. These sports may include basketball, running, football, soccer, and dancing. Sports that require tightly worn shoes as well as have a particular focus on jumping typically run a higher risk of injury. Because the feet are considered the foundation of the body, they help us stay balanced, and enable us to perform our everyday activities. Professional help should be pursued as soon as something goes wrong.
Bunions Problems
A bunion is a bony, painful swelling that is often formed on the first joint of the big toe. Bunions can be extremely painful due to the weight of all your body resting on it each time you take a step. Everyday activities, such as walking and wearing shoes, can cause you extreme discomfort if you have a bunion.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Unfortunately, foot problems are often a common result of having diabetes. As time goes by, itâ€™s likely that diabetes can cause nerve damage, also known as diabetic neuropathy. This can lead to tingling or a painful sensation, and it may also cause you to lose feeling in your feet. The loss of feeling in your feet can become incredibly dangerous, especially if you can longer sense a blister or cut on your foot; this can lead to sores or infections.
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
Fungal infections occur due to fungus getting through the cracks of the toes or cuts in your skin. Common signs that you may have a fungal infection include thicker than normal toenails, oddly shaped toenails, discoloration, a yellowish hue to the nail, and separation of the nail and nail bed. Fungal infections can affect anyone but are most common among men, those with diabetes or athleteâ€™s foot, and smokers. The risk of having toenail fungus also increases as you age if another family member has it, and if you have a weaker immune system.
Hammertoes
Hammertoes can be identified by an abnormal bend in the middle joint of the toe. This abnormal bending can lead to added pressure on the toe when wearing shoes. It can also cause pain or discomfort when walking or running. Because hammertoes typically worsen overtime and become increasingly more rigid, itâ€™s recommended that you seek the help of a podiatrist for treatment options if you believe youâ€™re experiencing the symptoms of this deformity.
Heel Spurs
Many people choose to wear orthotics that can help to protect and realign the structure of the feet. Having plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and heel spurs are common conditions that may be helped by wearing custom-made orthotics. There are various types of insoles, consisting of every day and running. Insoles that are worn daily may last up to six months, and this can depend on how many hours they are worn. People who are athletes may be interested in learning about running insoles, which may last between three and four months. Patients who stand on their feet during the workday may benefit from wearing insoles in their work boots, and this can be successful in providing the necessary support while working. If you would like additional information about the types of orthotics that can be purchased, it is strongly suggested that you consult with a podiatrist who can guide you toward the type of orthotics that are best for you.

Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Treatment for an ingrown toenail will vary on a case by case basis. One form of treatment requires lifting the ingrown nail and placing a splint or piece of cotton underneath. Another method for a more severe case would involve partially removing the nail. For cases that need extreme care, the nail itself and tissue would have to be removed.

Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis affects the plantar regions of the foot, namely the heel, arch, and mid-foot. When too much stress is put on the plantar fascia, or the connective tissue that stretches from the heel to the ball of your foot, inflammation, over-tightening, and tearing may arise. This can cause foot pain. Because of plantar fasciitis, you may experience tearing with the first steps you take in the morning each day.
Podiatric Deformities
Some factors that contribute to the formation of Mortonâ€™s neuroma include wearing high heels or ill-fitting shoes that put extra pressure on your toes or the balls of your feet. There has also been a tie to the development of Mortonâ€™s neuroma and certain high-impact sporting activities. Activities you may want to avoid from participating in too frequently include both jogging and running. Too much repetitive trauma can cause a strain on the feet and increase the chances of developing a foot complication. Other sports that require the use of tightly worn shoes, such as skiing or rock climbing, may also increase your chances of getting Mortonâ€™s neuroma. Certain foot deformities can also lead to the development of Mortonâ€™s neuroma. Some of these deformities that increase the likelihood of getting this condition include bunions, hammertoes, and flat feet.
