BHP Keeps your Feet Looking and Feeling Great in High Heels

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Beverly Hills Physicians has a reputation for providing exceptional treatment from head to toe – and thanks to their skilled podiatry specialists, that's undeniably true when it comes to the lower extremities. At their many state-of-the-art facilities throughout Southern California the health and beauty oriented medical group provides treatment for a wide variety of chiefly cosmetic procedures like toe shortening surgery to enhance the aesthetic appeal of feet, as well as treatment for medical issues impacting the feet – many of which can be worsened by wearing high heels.

The team at BHP fully understands the importance of boosted confidence that comes from wearing stylish pumps. However, heels have also been linked with a number of long-term issues that affect the feet. Women's Health Mag reports that "normally, your feet act like spring-loaded, weight-distributing shock absorbers, cushioning your skeleton from crazy amounts of pounding." However, when wearing heels, your feet are no longer protected from pounding throughout the day.

Making matters worse – the higher a heel is, the more severely it can affect your feet. In one study, it was found that four-inch stilettos can increase pressure on the feet by 30% or more – proof that we really do suffer for beauty! In fact, data from the Spine Health Institute in Florida illustrates that at some point in their lives, approximately 72% of women wear high heels and 31% wear them to work – not just for special occasions.

Fortunately, the expert medical specialists at BHP understand the importance of health, beauty and overall wellness for living a full and pleasurable life, and they believe every person should be able to wear the shoes that make them feel beautiful while still feeling comfortable. That's why their podiatrists excel in providing a number of cutting-edge aesthetic and health-based procedures to both beautify feet and remedy high heel-related health issues. These include:

• Bunions – A bunion is a bony bump on the joint at the base of the big toe that can cause red or irritated skin and swelling. Fortunately, in nearly every case, the embarrassment and pain of an unsightly bunion can be alleviated with a relatively minor surgical procedure from BHP.
• Calluses – Callused skin doesn't necessarily cause pain, but it can cause a person to feel very self-conscious and her feet to feel less than their best. When corns and calluses are exposed while wearing high heels, the boost in confidence that is felt while wearing a particularly stunning pair of heels is immediately erased.
• Hammertoe – This is a common yet often painful condition that can be caused by jamming feet into the pointed front section of ill-fitting pumps. Hammertoe can also affect one's balance, leading to a number of embarrassing problems, including tripping which can have very unfortunately health consequences of its own! Fortunately, a consultation with BHP specialists can often go a long way toward alleviating hammertoe, often without the need for a surgical procedure.

If you're looking to boost the health and beauty of your feet – and enjoy the enhanced quality of life that comes with it – don't hesitate to schedule a free consultation with the expert team at BHP today.
