- ArthritisRheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes your body to mistakenly attack your joints in the same way it would fight off an infection. This causes inflammation in your joints that inhibits their mobility. If not treated, the inflammation can eventually cause the cartilage in your joints to break down, causing significant pain and further inhibiting your mobility. Rheumatoid arthritis, which afflicts approximately 1.5 million Americans, can affect more than your joints, and it is important that you seek treatment right away if you believe you suffer from this condition.
- Plantar FasciitisOne treatment method known as radiofrequency nerve ablation uses radiofrequency energy to create heat in the affected area to disrupt the transmission of pain. The radiofrequency waves essentially disable the pain-causing nerve and eliminate the pain signals that are being sent to the brain. This method has proven effective in treating the heel pain associated with plantar fasciitis by eliminating the sensation of pain in the heel.

- Computed TomographySome of the most common sports-related injuries we see are ankle sprains, which are especially common among runners. A sprain is typically an injury to one or more of the weight-bearing ligaments supporting your ankle joint, and often occurs when the foot rolls inward or outward while running. To diagnose a sprain, our sports injury foot doctor in Dallas, TX, will conduct a thorough physical exam of your injured ankle, possibly including X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to rule out a fracture, identify specific soft-tissue injuries, and provide a thorough explanation of your condition.

- Bunion SurgeryAs a bunion deformity is a structural abnormality, the only way to “fix it” is surgical. This solution is reserved for patients who have pain unresponsive to conservative means, cannot comfortably wear the shoes of their choice, or those who have deformities that are progressively worsening. Bunion surgery works well for the vast majority of patients. The type of bunion surgery depends on several factors including the degree of deformity, patient’s activity level, and their overall health. After your bunion surgery, our Dallas bunion doctors provide the care and information you need for a speedy recovery.

- LesionsPlantar warts are small lesions that usually appear on the heels or other weight-bearing areas of your feet. Plantar warts are caused by a virus (HPV). The virus enters your body through tiny cuts, breaks, or weak spots on the bottom of your feet.
- PsoriasisTrauma can also sometimes kill all or part of a toenail, leaving it likely to fall off. Occasionally, the changes will result from psoriasis or a bone spur under the nail.

- Ingrown ToenailsDr. Simon is AMAZING! She had to remove an ingrown toenail from my 10 year old daughter and she was so incredibly patient and kind managing my daughter’s near hysteria. She and her nurse never once got impatient or upset that it was taking longer than usual and that my daughter was very afraid. I previously saw other docs at this practice, but I switched to her for my own nail removal procedure. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!
- Foot Injuries
- MetatarsalgiaHammertoe is a foot condition where one or more toes grows into a claw-like position and can’t be straightened. If left untreated, this condition will worsen and result in numbness in your toes. If you’re experiencing this foot condition, getting the proper treatment has various benefits. For starters, you will gain relief from the pain associated with hammertoes, plus the attractiveness of your foot will be restored. Also, you won’t have to worry about future foot conditions resulting from untreated hammertoes, like metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of the foot), corns, and calluses.
- Foot OrthoticsAfter we’ve pinpointed the cause of your discomfort, your Dallas Podiatry Works physician will develop a treatment plan to alleviate your ongoing pain. Because tightness of the calf muscles can contribute to the flattening of your feet, your plan may include a regimen of calf-muscle-stretching exercises. Other courses of treatment include night splints, orthopedic taping of the arch for added support, or cortisone injections. The Neurotherm procedure is a pain management technique using nerve ablation for management of difficult cases. For severe cases, you may be fitted with prescription foot orthotics designed to correct the cause of your foot pain. If all of these measures fail, surgery followed by the continued use of orthotics may be required as a last resort.

Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, may help, as may arch supports and heel cushions. If heel pain persists, our doctors will conduct a thorough physical examination of your feet, and probably order digital X-rays to ensure that you’re not suffering from a stress fracture or other less-common cause of foot pain.
