A Modern Approach to Treating Painful Bunions

MIS bunion surgery is a modern, less-invasive approach that uses small incisions to correct bunions. It can mean less tissue trauma and less downtime. Because the technique requires specialized skill, trust your feet to the experienced MIS surgeons at Lincoln Park Podiatry.

Ingrown toenails are common, and may eventually resolve on their own. But a persistently ingrown toenail can cause significant pain and infection that may require care by a foot specialist (podiatrist). Dr. Williams and Zemela are skilled podiatrists who can treat your current ingrown toenail and help prevent it from coming back.

There’s not much to love about nail fungus, but advances in treatment make it possible to finally resolve the infection causing the issue. Dr. Williams of Lincoln Park Podiatry, with locations in the Lincoln Park and Lakeview communities of Chicago, achieve great results with the advanced PinPointe™ FootLaser™.

Are you tired of dealing with pesky warts? We at Lincoln Park Podiatry are very excited to announce that we have a brand new and effective treatment for surface based skin lesions, primarily warts. Plantar warts; a common and stubborn Viral Infection “Plantar” means “Of the sole” in Latin. Unlike other types of warts, plantar warts are typically quite painful as the pressure from walking and standing forces them to grow into your skin. Like all warts, Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) virus, specifically types 1, 2, 4, 60, and 63. Underneath the skin, the wart can have finger-like roots that reach down and grow, making them very difficult to treat effectively from the surface.

Plantar fasciitis is often the cause of sharp, stabbing heel and arch pain that strikes with your first step in the morning.
