Providing therapeutic care in partnership with clients while they pursue health, wellness and beauty.


A Medical Nail Technician performs nail treatments designed to provide a classic feel-good spa experience with responsible therapeutic care. The emphasis is on correcting specific conditions with benefits that can translate into better health.

Therapeutic treatments, such as thinning thickened nails and reducing severe callus, may incur additional cost, because of the need to discard materials like brushes, files, or buffers instead of disinfecting and re-using them. This is to assure a treatment environment that is clean, sanitary, and safe for each customer. Tools are sterilized in an autoclave. The (non-whirlpool) foot bath uses disposable liners.Service and Price ListSignature Pedicure

The Richway Corporation in Japan received the Nobel Award in 2010 for inventing this mat. The mat has seven layers: layers of silk, cotton, 27 pounds of amethyst, and crushed ceramic. The crushed ceramic is used (as NASA does) to channel the infrared rays.

Infrared is proven to stimulate circulation, lymph, and metabolism. It is proven to lessen arthritic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and muscle pain. It is used in some hospitals after surgery to stimulate healing. It's safe for all living things. It's so safe that hospitals use it to warm newborn infants.

Infrared heat is actually infrared light (experienced as heat). It is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum with the ability to penetrate human tissue, giving soothing, natural warmth. It is NOT like a heating pad that heats you at your extremities. It heats you at your core, penetrating 6 to 7 inches...then as you warm, the layers of the mat warm. It's a wonderful, relaxing, healing treatment.For Monroe Nail Care:Call Jennifer Klinkel at 425-213-3336 for an appointment!Site Copyright 2010-2012 by Jennifer Klinkel and At Your Feet. see website:

importance of addressing risk factors that lead to falls


The likelihood of tripping and falling should not be ignored or taken

lightly. Tripping and falling or losing your balance — due to existing
medical conditions such as muscle weakness or loss of feeling

(neuropathy) — can have lasting and sometimes fatal results. Returning
to normal activity after a fall often takes weeks or months of care
and physical therapy to alleviate the pain associated with hip, knee
or head injury.


Helping to reduce the risk of falling by making your home safe while
providing additional support for weakened muscles is significantly
easier than recovering from a fall-related injury and it's pain free.
Taking time now to avoid falls may help preserve your quality of life
in the long term. And it all starts with a visit to your doctor...Be

have had in your home or when involved in an out-of-home activity Tips
to help you prevent or reduce falling 1. Make your home safer

shoes) from stairs and walkways

use rugs at all
Put grab bars next to toilet and inside the tub/shower and place a
non-skid mat in the tub

Use a raised toilet seat or one with armrests
In shower/tub, bathe sitting down on a strong plastic seat and use a
hand-held shower nozzle
Make sure your rooms are brightly lighted

How To Remove Calluses From Feet

How To Remove Calluses From Feet 

Callus and Corn Treatment in Asheville, North CarolinaWhat are Foot Corns & Calluses?


A callus is an area of hard, thickened skin that can occur across the ball of the foot, on the heel, or on the outer side of the big toe. While many consider them a skin problem, they actually are systemic of a problem with the bone.


Calluses have painful nerves and bursal sacs (fluid-filled balloons that act as shock absorbers) beneath them, causing symptoms ranging from sharp, shooting pain to dull, aching soreness.


Calluses form from repeated friction and pressure, as the shoe (or ground) rubs against a bony prominence (bone spur) on the toe or foot. The skin thickens in response to this pressure. Small amounts of friction or pressure over long periods of time cause a corn or callus. A great deal of friction or pressure over shorter periods of time can cause blisters or open sores. Calluses typically develop under a metatarsal head (the long bone that forms the ball of the foot) that is carrying more than its fair share of the body weight, usually due to it being dropped down or due to its longer length.


Calluses can be treated with over-the-counter callus removers that have strong acids that peel this excess skin away after repeated application. You should be careful with these products as they can cause chemical burns when not used correctly. Begin by soaking your feet in warm soapy water and gently rubbing away any dead skin that loosens. A pumice stone or emery board is then used to “file” this thickened skin. Apply a good moisturizer to the hardened areas to keep them softer and relieve pain. Non-medicated corn pads or moleskin (a thin fuzzy sheet of fabric with an adhesive back) can relieve calluses, but should be removed carefully to avoid tearing the skin.


If you need assistance relieving calluses, contact our office and schedule an appointment with Dr. Waldman. Calluses can be trimmed and comfortable padding can applied to these painful areas. In addition to medication to relieve inflammation, cortisone may be injected into the underlying bursal sac to rapidly reduce pain and swelling.


A plantar callus forms when one metatarsal bone is longer or lower than the others, and it hits the ground first, and with more force than it is equipped to handle, at every step. As a result, the skin under this bone thickens like a rock in your shoe. Plantar calluses that are recurring are sometimes removed surgically in a procedure called an osteotomy, which relieves pressure on the bone.


A condition called Intractable Plantar Keratosis (IPK) is a deep callus directly under the ball of the foot. IPK is caused by a “dropped metatarsal,” which happens when the metatarsal head drops to a lower level than the surrounding metatarsals and protrudes from the bottom of the foot. This results in more pressure being applied in this area and causes a thick callus to form. A “dropped metatarsal” can either be a congenital abnormality, a result of a metatarsal fracture, or a structural change that may have occurred over time.How to prevent calluses:

Switch to better shoes, or even an orthotic device.

Buy socks with double-thick toes and heels and nylon hose with a woven cotton sole on the bottom of the foot.


Corns are calluses that form on the toes because the bones push up against the shoe and put pressure on the skin. The surface layer of the skin thickens and builds up, irritating the tissues underneath. Hard corns are usually located on the top of the toe or on the side of the small toe. Soft corns resemble open sores and develop between the toes as they rub against each other.


Improperly fitting shoes are a leading cause of corns. Toe deformities, such as hammertoe or claw toe, also can lead to corns. In a visit to our office, your corns can be shaved with a scalpel. Self care includes soaking your feet regularly and using a pumice stone or callus file to soften and reduce the size of the corn. Special over-the-counter non-medicated donut-shaped foam pads also can help relieve the pressure.Return to Foot and Ankle Topics

 Why are my nails thick and discolored?

Nails that are thick and discolored usually indicate a common nail infection..  Fungus infection of the nails will make them thick, yellow and crumbly.  This is an infection that can be effectually treated today.  We have oral medications that are effective, have only a limited side effects and may even be taken with many other medication.  If you are thinking of treated your nails, a simple blood test and a sample of the nails needs to be taken to confirm the fungus infection.Does insurance cover my visit to the Podiatrist? Most insurances treat your visit to the podiatrist just like any other visit to your family physician.  There are cases, just like at your family physicians office, were certain procedures or medical devices might not be covered.  At Family Foot and Ankle Center, Dr. Halverson will make every effort to let you know if a service or device may not be covered under your insurance plan prior to you receiving that device or service.What insurance does Family Foot and Ankle Center accepts?

At Family Foot and Ankle Center we accept most insurances.  We do participate in United Health Care, Trilogy, WEA, Aenta, Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, Medicare, Wisconsin Medicaid programs, Network Health, GEHA, WPS, Health EOS Plans, and Interplan Groups.  There are many more that we accept and participate in.  Please give us a call if you not sure that we work with your plan and we will more than happy to make sure we are in network prior to your visit.What causes bunions to develop?

Most people assume that bunions are a result of wearing poor fitting shoes.  Although this can help speed the development of bunions, bunions are caused by the mechanical working of the foot.  When the foot functions in this manner, it allows the bones to move more then they are designed to and a muscle imbalance occurs.  This will lead to the development of a bunion.  Most people think that you inherit the bunion but it is more accurate to say that you inherit the foot type that allows bunions to develop.How do I pick out the right shoes?

There is no simple answer to this question.  Pick out the right shoe has gotten easier over the recent years with more activity specific shoes coming on the market.  The key to getting the best shoe is to ask yourself a few questions.  First, what will I be using the shoe for?  Shoe companies have research the needs of individual activities in recent years.  Because of this, if you are purchasing shoe for running, you should only look at running shoe.  This may seem simple but many people purchase a cross trainer, or walking shoe because they look better, etc. for running only.  This can lead to having problems with your feet that if you purchased a running shoe you would not have had because of design differences.


The second question is am I going to use these best runing shoes for flat feet for more than one activity.  In my opinion, walking shoe are the best all around shoe to purchase if it is going to be used for all types of activities.  The vast majority of our time is spend walking.  It is still more appropriate to purchase and activity specific shoe if you are going to do that activity most of the time.


Another question is what size are my feet?  This may seen obvious, but most people assume their size.  Measure your feet each and every time you purchase shoes. Remember that just because you measure an 8, you may need a 9 or even 10 in certain brands of shoes.  If you have any questions about your new shoes please bring them in and we will evaluate them for you.



 Why am I developing Corns or Callouses?

Corns and callouses develop for two reasons.  The first is pressure.  The pressure can be cause by weightbearing or by bony prominence.  With the added pressure on the skin,  the skin reacts to protect itself.  It does this by putting layers of tough skin over the top of the area.  This is a corn or callous.  You can remove the corn but if the pressure is still there the corn will return.  The second reason for corns and callouses is friction.  This will cause the same skin reaction.



 When I get up from my chair my heel hurts, What could this Be?

There can be many causes of heel pain.  The most common one is a condition called Plantar Fasciitis.  The common symptoms include pain upon getting up from a chair or out of bed, pain in the center or inside bottom of the heel and pain worsing as the days goes on.  All heel pain should be evaluate by your podiatrist or healthcare provider as there are serious conditions that can mimic the more common conditions seen in the heel.  If you have been suffering with heel pain please call us today.Click here for  Free offer to New Patients



 Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

You will only need a referral if your insurance requires you to get one in order to see a specialist.  Most people will not require a referral but if you have any questions, with a simple call to our office we will be able to help you determine if the referral in necessary.Join our monthly e-newsletter.  Your information will not be shared with any other entityTo review our monthly e-newletter please click below:Family Foot and Ankle Center e-newsletter Archive
