On The Foot

A blog for people with foot concerns.

About the author

My name is Dr. Jay Segel, D.P.M. and I have been in private practice on Martha’s Vineyard for nearly 30 years. In that time I have seen a lot of treatable foot concerns turn into long term problems because people didn’t have good information to either fix their foot issues, or prevent them all together. There is also a subset of these folks that are of the mindset that it, what ever the foot “it” is, will get better. My experience with any particular foot concern is, it doesn’t get better, it gets worse, and the worst is that it spreads. Whether we are talking about Athlete’s Foot that, left untreated, can infect the surrounding tissues, warts that can take over the bottom of the foot, or walking abnormalities that can cause arthritis from the foot up to the hip, remember, “it” doesn’t better on it’s own and that’s where the Podiatrist comes in.
