I Didn’t Know You Treated That…

drchrismilkie — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 19:46:17 +0000

Every now and then one of my patients will tell me about a foot problem that prompted them to see a doctor. Now, this could even be a person I have treated on several occasions. As they’re telling me the story, I am wondering why they didn’t come to me for that problem. Usually, it’s a condition I have treated hundreds of times. When they finished explaining what happened, I ask why they went elsewhere. Often the answer is, “I didn’t know you treated that problem”.

I once assumed all of my patients knew everything I treated. Not anymore. How…

Women, Take Heart!

1. Women’s symptoms of heart attack can be different than men’s: Although chest pain can occur in women, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, cold sweats, nausea, pressure of fullness in the upper abdomen, and heartburn that doesn’t go ways after taking antacids often signal women’s heart attacks.

2. Birth control pills increase the risk of heart disease and stroke in women who smoke. It is smart to evaluate your birth control options with a physician.

3. Women’s risk for heart disease increases after menopause. by age 60, their risk is equal to men’s.

4. An HDL (healthy cholesterol) number of…

Any Time, Any Place: 13 Easy Ways to Move More

1. When grocery shopping, circle the outer aisles of the store first before going down the center aisles. That is where the freshest healthiest food is anyway.

2. Walk into a bank or restaurant instead of using the drive-through.

3. When you bring groceries into your home, make a separate trip for each bag.

4. Get on your hands and knees to scrub the floors.

5. While you are brushing your teeth, do some calf stretches and leg raises.

6. Walk to the airport gate instead of using the moving walkways.

7. Do stretching exercises for your neck or shoulders…

POWER UP YOUR DAY with this BUFF BREAKFAST!

drchrismilkie — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 11:36:25 +0000

Start Your Day Off Right! What you eat during the first hour of waking up sets your body up for calorie burning all day. 70% of the people in our country eat 70% of their calories after 7 p.m. at night! This is totally backwards. You need to eat breakfast like a KING, lunch like a QUEEN, and dinner like a PRINCE. Breakfast should be your heartiest meal of the day!
Did you know you are 300% more likely to be overweight if you don’t eat breakfast? AND…400% more likely to develop heart disease? YIKES!!! You have a 75%…

I hope your summer is going well in spite of the humidity and massive rain. We have an exciting new summer referral contest going on right now. We have referral cards in the office that you can pass on to friends.
Many of your friends have foot problems and most don’t know a foot specialist. I can’t tell you how often a new patient will tell me how grateful they are that someone gave them a card. They were suffering from foot pain, but didn’t know which doctor to go to. What’s more, the referral card offers a $25…

Severe Foot Pain May Benefit Greatly from Surgery

xmlrpc — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:47:45 +0000

If you suffer from severe foot pain, you might discover that foot surgery may be necessary. Foot surgery repairs many reasons such as a broken bone, structural damage or to relieve foot pain caused by another condition.

Many foot conditions that go untreated will need surgery as the only means to correct the conditions such as:

• Bunions: When all other non surgical treatments such as supports, pads or wearing roomy shoes don’t work, or when the bunions have gotten too big, surgery may be required. The most common way to correct a bunion with surgery is shaving the bump…
