Help for Ankle Problems

Posted by drjills on in ankle0 Comment

Patients with chronic ankle instability frequently experience the feeling that their ankle may give way at any moment. While walking on uneven surfaces, stepping off a curb, going down the stairs or sometimes even just standing still the ankle may turn unexpectedly, causing pain and potentially a sprain. At Dr. Jill’s Foot Pads, we know these patients who have previously injured their ankles still want to maintain an active lifestyle, participating in sports and fitness activities. If you experience chronic ankle pain or weakness, or are recovering from an injury we have products that can help:

Gel Malleolar Sleeve—two discs of soft gel cushion both the medial and lateral sides of the ankle. Contained in latex-free fabric, they protect the ankle from impact, pressure and injury and provide support as well. Gel Malleolar Sleeve can be worn inside ski boots, cleats, roller blades and virtually any other type of sport shoe or boot. It comes in one size that will fit either the left or right foot. The sleeve is washable (by hand) and can provide long-term help with ankle problems.

J-Tape—our 100% cotton tape with a rubber-based zinc oxide adhesive is breathable and strong, yet gentle. It provides excellent immobilization with support and is preferred for strains and sprain. The tape is latex-free and tears easily both lengthwise and crosswise. J-Tape comes in  1-inch, 1.5-inch, and 2-inch sizes.

Self-Grip Compression Wrap—this unique, self-adhering tape provides maximum support and firm compression to ligaments, tendons and muscles. Self-Grip Compression Wrap will not stick to skin or hair and it will not come off in water. It is ideal for strains and sprains and for taping and strapping.

J-Ban Cohesive Wrap—this lightweight nylon wrap makes an excellent pressure bandage. It is self-adherent, made of non-woven material that sticks to itself but not to other materials or skin. J-Ban Cohesive Wrap holds well (even when stretched) but does not constrict. It is easy to hand tear cleanly with no exposed threads. J-Ban comes in 1- inch,  2-inch and 3-inch widths.

How to Take Care of Toe Troubles

Posted by drjills on in Toe0 Comment

They may seem small, but if you have a toe that’s hurting, here at Dr. Jill’s Foot Pads understand it can be a big painful problem. We take it for granted when we walk, and our toes are what helps us push off and take a step. Toes also help us with our balance. Relief from toe pain is essential for staying active. Below are some of our top toe products:

Carbon Stabilizer Plates—patients who play sports on turf fields, like football and soccer, are at a particular risk for a condition known as turf toe. Coming to a very short stop or pushing off with extreme force can cause an injury to the big toe joint. Carbon Stabilizer Plates worn inside your shoes stiffen the sole of the shoe and limit the range of motion of the fore and midfoot, making the shoe less flexible to prevent overextending. These plates are also useful for patients that have hallux limitus, arthritis and metatarsalgia, among other conditions.

All Gel Toe Cap—if you’ve ever suffered with an ingrown toenail, you know how tender and painful it can be. Enter the All Gel Toe Cap with superior padding and soft gel tip to cushion and protect a hurting toe. Corns, hammertoes and toe injuries are other podiatric conditions that can benefit from this product. These pads are washable and reusable for long wear and are designed for use in all types of footwear.

Triple Toe Gel Crest Pad—if you suffer with hammertoes, the Triple Toe Gel Crest Pad will bring relief in two ways. The soft, stretchy premier gel can hold three toes together to keep them aligned with a toe crest pad on the bottom. With the toe crest on the top it helps hold toes down and straighten them while at the same time providing a cushioned barrier between toe tops and footwear.

Dr. Jill’s Foot Pads feature products to deal with all types of foot disorders. To see all of our products, view our online catalog or visit our Deerfield Beach, FL store. For more information, contact us by calling: (866) FOOT-PAD (366-8723).

Ouch! Calluses Can be Painful

Posted by drjills on in Callus0 Comment

A callus is thickened area of skin on your foot that forms to protect an area of your foot. Although they appear to be on the surface, many times calluses develop due to problems much deeper in your foot. Regardless of their cause, we at Dr. Jill’s Foot Pads know that calluses can be so painful that they can make even simple daily activities like standing and walking excruciating. That’s why we offer many products to treat this problem.

Foam Callus Pads—these pads are designed with a center hole that is meant to surround the callus and protect it from pressure. Made of soft foam, these pads feature a self-adhesive backing to keep them in the right spot. Foam Callus Pads are designed to increase comfort while walking and standing and can be used in all styles of footwear.

Gel U-Shaped Pads—looking for a reusable pad to protect your callus? The Gel U-Shaped Pads can be washed and re-used multiple times. The soft gel cushions calluses to protect and prevent pain. The U-shape surrounds the sore area and transfers pressure away from the callus. Self-stick cushions are easy to apply and position for maximum comfort.

Moleskin Sheets—these soft, flannel padded cushion sheets can be custom cut to fit the callus that is causing you pain. Moleskin Sheets are non-medicated and have an adhesive backing that keeps the pad in place. Designed for use with all types of footwear, these pads are comfortable to wear under socks and hose.

Other products that we offer to aid with relief from painful calluses include: Felt Callus Pads J-2 1/8 inch, U-Shaped Felt Callus Pads 1/8 inch and U-Shaped Foam Pads ¼ inch among many others.
