    Runners have two very important pieces of equipment – their feet. Whether you are walking a 5k or training for a marathon, you need healthy feet to train and race. If you are a runner or triathlete experiencing foot or lower leg pain, you should see a podiatrist. Don’t wait for your running injury to stop you from running. Heel pain, Achilles pain, shin splints, IT band issues, hip pain – these are all running related injuries that can stem from the feet. We look at your mechanics to make sure you are running and walking as efficiently as possible. We do a comprehensive gait analysis where we watch you walk to examine the phases of your stride and identify any inefficiencies. Custom orthotics are often a great way to keep you running without extended time off. Every situation is different, so call us today at 713-785-7881 for more information or to make an appointment.

  • Houston Texas Podiatrist Specializes in Sports InjuriesHouston Texas Podiatrist Specializes in Sports Injuries
    http://www.tanglewoodfootspecialists.com Sports injuries are one of our specialties at Tanglewood Foot Specialists of Houston Texas. Did you know that there are 26 bones in each foot? It is vitally important to take care of each and every one of them. Your feet are responsible for so much more than just standing and walking. If you are a runner and want to run a marathon, those feet need to get you there. If you are a skier and want to ski down a mountain, those feet need to get you there. Often, the best way to make sure your feet are healthy and functioning properly is use a custom orthotic. A custom orthotic is an insert for your shoes that allows your feet to work efficiently by letting overworked muscles relax and forcing underused muscles to get stronger. We can customize orthotics for you at Tanglewood Foot Specialists. They will make your feet stronger and more stable. If you have pain in your feet, please call us. Pain in your feet is not normal and could cause some serious problems if you don’t take care of it quickly. Call us today at 713-785-7881 for more information or to make an appointment.

  • Houston Podiatrist Answers If Heel Spur Must Be RemovedHouston Podiatrist Answers If Heel Spur Must Be Removed
    Houston Podiatrist Dr. Andrew Schneider answers if a Heel Spur needs to be removed with surgery when someone is suffering from Plantar Fasciitis or Heel pain. A heel spur is a protrusion of bone that does not often cause the pain associated with plantar fasciitis. If the natural fat cushioning wears down, there could be pressure from the heel spur itself and surgery to remove a heel spur may be necessary.

Dr. Andrew Schneider is a podiatrist in Houston, TX and uses advanced therapy to treat heel pain quickly.
  • Is a Heel Spur Causing My Heel Pain? Houston Podiatrist AnswersIs a Heel Spur Causing My Heel Pain? Houston Podiatrist Answers
    A heel spur is a protrusion of bone caused by the pulling of a ligament on the heel bone. It is a very common reason to visit a Houston podiatrist, foot doctor, and surgeon. Very often, however, it is not the heel spur that is the direct cause of the heel pain. Most cases are caused by the inflammation of the ligament attaching to the heel spur, known as plantar fasciitis.

  • Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis Explains Houston PodiatristHeel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis Explains Houston Podiatrist
    Do you have heel pain when you wake up in the morning? This is one of the most common complaints we hear from patients. If you are experiencing a sharp, stabbing pain when you first put your feet on the ground in the morning, you may be suffering from plantar fasciitis. Don’t worry. This is very common, but you need to make sure it’s addressed quickly. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation in your heel and causes a very sharp pain. The good news is that it is very easily treated and usually without surgery. The sooner you come in, the sooner we can get the pain taken care of. Using a combination of medicine, stretching and support, we can mitigate the pain and stop it from getting worse in as little as two weeks.

  • How To Treat A Bunion Explained by Houston PodiatristHow To Treat A Bunion Explained by Houston Podiatrist
    We often have patients come to us with a bump at the base of their big toe that is very painful when wearing shoes. This is probably a bunion. A bunion is caused by a bone in the foot that shifts. There are some bunion cases that require surgery. However, if we catch it early enough, there are measures we can take to reduce the pain, prevent it from getting worse and hopefully avoid surgery altogether. If you notice a bump on your foot, you need to call a podiatrist right away to reduce the chances of needing surgery. The sooner you come see us, the sooner we can stop the movement of the bones and reduce your pain. Call us today at 713-785-7881 for more information or to make an appointment.

  • Morton’s Neuroma Explained by Houston Foot DoctorMorton’s Neuroma Explained by Houston Foot Doctor
    Pain in the ball of the foot is a very common condition. It can happen beneath the big toe or in the middle of the foot. There are many reasons for this kind of pain but a Morton’s neuroma is one of the most common causes. This is an inflammation of the nerve that travels through the foot. Sometimes it can be handled just by changing your shoes. Tight shoes will cause more pain, so a wider shoe may help reduce pain. If this doesn’t help, there are other treatment options. Come into the office to discuss other options with Houston Texas Podiatrist Dr. Andrew Schneider. Call us today at 713-785-7881 for more information or to make an appointment.

    Are your toenails changing? Are they becoming thicker, discolored, and more brittle or turning yellow? This is often because of a fungal infection. Don’t worry—this is treatable! We have some topical solutions that will start working immediately and oral medications that are even more effective. While extremely useful, oral medications can take months to cure your infection. If you don’t like wearing sandals because of the way your toes look, we can perform a cosmetic procedure to make them appear normal while the medicine does its work. You don’t need to be self-conscious about your feet. We do recommend that you call us sooner rather than later so we can get to work on your treatment plan.

    Orthotics are custom designed insoles for your shoes. The orthotics reposition your foot to allow them to work as efficiently as possible and provide for a stable “base of support” for the rest of your body. They are made from a mold of the foot taken in a “neutral position” that is modified based on a comprehensive biomechanical examination of the lower extremity. You should consider orthotics as a solution if you suffer from bunions, hammertoes, heel or arch pain, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, tired feet, or any pain in your feet, legs, knees, hips, or back during walking or exercise.

  • How To Treat An Ankle Sprain Explained by Houston PodiatristHow To Treat An Ankle Sprain Explained by Houston Podiatrist
    A sprained ankle is a very serious injury that most people do not take seriously enough. If you sprain your ankle, the stability is greatly decreased, increasing the possibility that you could do it again. If you think you have sprained your ankle, you should call a podiatrist. They will check to make sure it’s not broken and get you on the path back to normal activity. In the meantime, elevate your injured foot, apply ice and take an anti-inflammatory if there is swelling. Don’t write off an ankle injury as no big deal. If not treated properly it can easily be re-injured. Call us today at 713-785-7881 for more information or to make an appointment.
