Plantar Fasciitis
This type of foot pain is an extremely common problem and can be debilitating, but it is one from which you need not suffer. Many people experience heel pain first thing in the morning, when walking after periods of inactivity, and when standing for long periods of time. This type of heel pain can result from a condition called plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a thick structure that runs from your heel bone all the way across the bottom of your foot and into your toes. Plantar fasciitis (or what some people refer to as “heel spur syndrome”) occurs when the plantar fascia has been strained. People with plantar fasciitis may or may not have a “heel spur.” (And furthermore, people may have a heel spur but not actually have any heel pain.) Although symptoms from plantar fasciitis can be progressive or severe, there are many treatment options available for this condition, and the overwhelming majority of patients experience a complete resolution of their pain without needing any type of surgery. However, there are other conditions that can cause heel pain, including a stress fracture of the heel bone, so it is important to have your heel pain evaluated. Children may also experience a unique type of heel pain, which is often more problematic during or after certain sports.
Rheumatology
A: A podiatrist is a doctor who specializes in foot and ankle care. Most have had 11 years of education and training after high school, which is comprised of the following: after completing undergraduate college, we then attend 4 years of podiatric medical school, after which we receive a doctor of podiatric medicine (DPM) degree. Following this, we enter what is called residency training. Podiatric medicine and surgery residency programs typically consist of 3 years of hospital training and include rotations in the various medical specialties (such as internal medicine, emergency room medicine, anesthesiology, rheumatology, general surgery, radiology, psychology, infectious disease, etc.) with the majority of time spent in rotations focused on the medical and surgical treatment of foot and ankle problems. In Michigan, podiatrists may perform surgery on any part of the foot and ankle. In addition, as lower extremity specialists, we may be the first to diagnose a wide variety of medical conditions, including gout, vascular/circulation problems (which may include peripheral arterial disease or PAD), nerve problems/peripheral neuropathy, and blood clots/deep vein thrombosis (or DVT.)
Emergency Care
Diabetic Foot Care
Dr. Stephanie Martin Carollo, Board Certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery, completed her residency training at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic Foundation/Kaiser Permanente podiatric medicine and surgery program. While there, she received three years of extensive training in foot and ankle surgery, diabetic foot care, and wound care from some of the most skilled physicians and surgeons in the country.

Labor and Delivery
Gout is a form of arthritis that is caused by an inflammation in your joints due to an accumulation of uric acid crystals. If gout affects the foot or ankle, it can be incredibly painful. Some female patients have described this pain as being “worse than childbirth.” Gout commonly affects men as well. Symptoms of a gout attack include severe and sudden pain, redness, and swelling in a joint or

Neuropathy can result from many different causes, including diabetes, vitamin deficiency, chemotherapy, autoimmune or inherited condtions, and back, liver, or kidney problems. In patients with neuropathy, the nerves in the feet (and sometimes the legs) do not function properly.

Bunion Surgery
A: Bunion surgery is not as painful as you may have heard. Most of our patients only take pain medication for 1-3 days after bunion surgery, and almost all of them state that it wasn’t nearly as painful as they thought it would be. Careful surgical technique can help to minimize postoperative pain, as does the protocol that we have our patients employ after their bunion surgery. In addition, most patients with bunion surgery are able to bear weight on their surgical foot immediately after surgery. More information can be found on our Bunion page.
Bunions
This can lead to the development of pain or other problems, such as with wearing shoes or exercising. There are many conservative or non-surgical treatments available for bunions, and
Ingrown Toenails
A: Your child could be wearing shoes that are too small. This happens quite often because children and teenagers can experience rapid growth and rarely measure the size of their feet. For some children (and adults as well), there is extra flesh on the side of the nail, and/or they have a nail that is growing in a horseshoe shape, and it is therefore prone to developing an infection.

Skin Cancer
A: Yes! Many people don’t realize that it’s possible to get skin cancer on your foot, but it certainly is possible. This is one more reason to check your feet regularly. If you notice a new skin lesion/mole or a change in the appearance of one that you had, please get it checked out. This just may be life-saving!
Corns
Common treatment for hammertoes includes wearing offloading padding, shoes with a deep toebox, and orthotics which help to improve the faulty foot mechanics that lead to the development of hammertoe deformities. Your doctor can also pare/trim corns or calluses, which is important to alleviate pressure in the area.
Ulcer
2) Those with diabetes are at higher risk for developing circulation problems, which can lead to difficulty with healing a sore or wound once it has occurred. The longer that a wound, sore, or ulcer is open, the more likely it is that an infection could occur.
Calluses
A: There are many conditions that can cause pain in the ball of the foot. These include capsulitis, metatarsalgia, stress fractures, hammertoes, neuromas, loss of fat padding that is supposed to be present in this area, calluses, fractures, or plantar warts. In addition, people with a high arched foot often have more pressure on the ball of the foot which can lead to pain in this area, and this can also occur in people with feet that are too mobile, or who have with bones that are longer or shorter than the adjacent bones.
Fungus
Nail infections may involve a bacterial infection, which often demonstrate redness, pain, warmth, swelling, and/or drainage. These infections typically require that a portion of the nail be removed in the office in order to resolve the infection. Nail infections may also occur from fungus, which can cause the nail to become thicker, darker (typically a yellow or brownish color), and/or more brittle. These are treated differently than other nail infections.
Lesions
A: It may or may not. Sometimes these can be successful and cause the wart to resolve, but many times the medication in the OTC products is not strong enough to kill the wart. This is often the case with warts on the bottom of the foot (or “plantar warts”), where the skin is thicker and OTC medications often don’t penetrate enough to work well. However, some lesions may look like warts but are actually not, and it’s never a good idea to treat something unless you know what it is for sure. Also, some people are poor candidates for OTC self-treatment, such as some diabetics and those with poor circulation or other conditions that put them at higher risk for foot problems.

Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
This type of injury is very common. However, it is possible to also break a bone (or bones) in the ankle or foot with the twisting injury that most people associate with condition. The only way to know that the injury resulted in an ankle sprain and not a fracture is to have x-rays taken. Ankle sprains result in injury to the ankle ligaments, which are what connect the bones in the area. They may also result in tendon or cartilage damage as well. Returning to activity prematurely after this injury can lead to prolonged or recurrent pain.
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy
The medical term for flat feet is pes planus. People with this foot structure benefit from orthotic therapy. Orthotics are devices that are placed inside your shoes, in order to help realign your foot and allow it to function in the most optimal way possible. Think of orthotics as doing for your feet what your eyeglasses do for your eyes. You can view this short video here to learn more about orthotics. Custom orthotics can be obtained at our office. If you have flat feet or wish to learn whether orthotics could be beneficial for you, give us a call at 586-298-1585. As one patient recently told us “I love my orthotics. My foot pain is gone. It’s like I have new feet!”

General Podiatry
Dr. Carollo is a graduate of the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, where she received numerous awards in addition to serving as Class President for all four years of medical school. Prior to that, she studied pre-medicine at Michigan State University and at Central Michigan University, where she also played on the varsity soccer team.
Achilles Tendonitis
The Achilles tendon runs down the back of your leg and attaches to your heel bone. When this tendon is inflamed or irritated, it is referred to as Achilles tendonitis. People with tight calf muscles and those with abnormal foot mechanics can be predisposed to this condition. Achilles tendon pain may be treated with orthotics, heel lifts, ice (for those without a medical condition that precludes it use), topical medications, and sometimes with immobilization or physical therapy.
Ankle Sprain
A: This could be for a number of reasons. First of all, you may actually have a fracture or broken bone, and NOT a sprain. The only way to know that the injury you suffered was actually a sprain and NOT a fracture is to have x-rays taken. Ankle injuries can also cause damage to ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, which are structures around the ankle joint. Returning to activity prematurely after an injury can lead to prolonged or recurrent pain, as can repeat ankle sprains.
Bunions Problems
Bunions are a common problem affecting many people, and these may be present on one or both feet. It is a deformity or condition where the bone behind your big toe drifts towards the other foot, and the big toe itself drifts towards the second toe. The result is often a prominent bone on the inside of the foot behind the big toe.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Dr. Stephanie Martin Carollo has extensive experience in caring for patients with diabetes that began during her training at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation’s diabetic foot care clinic. Treating patients with diabetes and helping to prevent complications that can affect their feet is a real passion of Dr. Stephanie Carollo’s. Please contact our office at 586-298-1585 to schedule an appointment for a comprehensive diabetic foot evaluation, so that we can help to make sure that your feet are as healthy as possible! After all, your feet are designed to serve you for your entire life!
Flat Feet
Both flat feet (which is called pes planus) and high arched feet (which is called pes cavus) can result in foot pain.
Fungus Toenails
Toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, is an infection underneath the surface of the nail caused by fungi. When the tiny organisms take hold, the nail often becomes darker in color and smells foul. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails. If ignored, the infection can spread and possibly impair your ability to work or even walk. The resulting thicker nails are difficult to trim and make walking painful when wearing shoes. Onychomycosis can also be accompanied by a secondary bacterial or yeast infection in or about the nail plate.
Hammertoes
Patients frequently come into the office complaining of a hammertoe or hammertoes. They often relate having problems wearing shoes, and/or express concern about a corn that has developed on one or more toes. A hammertoe is a contracted toe, and one in which the toe is no longer sitting straight or flat. Hammertoes can be genetic, and commonly occur in people with flat feet, or in people with a high-arched foot structure.
Heel Spurs
A: You may have Achilles tendonitis, which an inflammation or irritation of the Achilles tendon, which is located in the back of your lower leg, and which attaches to the back of your heel bone which can cause your heel to hurt. People with this condition often have tight calf muscles. Some people with pain in the back of the heel can have a heel spur, or bone spur at the back of the heel bone. For more information about Achilles tendonitis. Also visit our heel pain page for more information.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can be very painful. They occur when one or both sides of a nail dig into the skin next to the nail. Ingrown nails can be hereditary, or they may result from trauma or injury, or from shoes that fit improperly. They can be treated in the office that same day, and the severity of the problem determines the type of treatment that we will employ. There is also a way to permanently correct an ingrown nail right in the office, so that the ingrown portion of the nail does not grow back and cause a problem in the future. If left untreated, an ingrown nail can become infected which can lead to other potential problems. Give us a call to allow us to help you with this painful condition. You may reach us at 586-298-1585.
Foot Injuries
Metatarsalgia
Pain can also occur in the ball of the foot from a variety of causes such as metatarsalgia, neuromas, stress fractures, or length discrepancies of the bones in the front of the foot.
Plantar Fasciitis
A: You may have plantar fasciitis, a condition caused by overuse or strain of the plantar fascia, which is a structure that starts at the heel bone and runs across the bottom of your foot. The plantar fascia relaxes when you’re in bed or off of your feet, and can be stretched or pulled when you begin walking. For more information, visit our page on heel pain.
Podiatric Deformities
A: Every day. People with diabetes are often at increased risk for developing foot problems, and this is certainly true if they have poor circulation, nerve damage or neuropathy, or conditions such as corns/calluses, bunions, hammertoes, and other foot deformities. We tell every patient with diabetes that he/she must carefully inspect his/her feet every single day. This includes the top and bottom of the feet, and the areas between the toes. It’s important to look for any open wounds or sores, cuts, blisters, redness, swelling, drainage, and warmth. If any of these occur, it’s important to call us right away (586-298-1585), as these could indicate that an infection or ulceration has developed. If not properly treated, foot/leg ulcers or infection could result in serious problems such as amputation, which can often be prevented with early diagnosis and treatment.
Podiatric Surgery
A: Foot surgery is not as painful as you may have heard. Most of our patients only take pain medication for 1-3 days after surgery, and nearly all of them state that it was not nearly as painful as they expected. Careful surgical technique can help to minimize postoperative pain, as does the protocol that we have our patients employ following their surgery.
