Foley's Feet: July 2010

Monday, July 26, 2010

Anyone who has tried to figure out what "athletic shoe" is BEST for them can relate to this excellent article recently published in the N Y Times.

Victoria Foley, DPM: Victoria M. Foley D.P.M. is a diplomat of the Board of Podiatric Surgery and a fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. The Southern California native and UCLA graduate earned her medical degree from the College of Podiatric Medicine in Des Moines, Iowa. As a former collegiate soccer player at UCLA, Foley offers an athlete’s perspective on foot and ankle related injuries and subsequent treatment. Dr. Foley has developed a thriving practice with two locations in Long Beach and Los Alamitos. Dr. Foley maintains that patient education (including self-assessment), appropriate exercise, proper foot wear and a healthy diet are all critical elements in keeping feet healthy. The emphasis is always on preventative care and education rather than curative treatment. “I want my patients to know that treatment and recovery is a team effort,” Dr. Foley says. “With early diagnosis and quick treatment, foot and ankle problems can be handled successfully. I encourage my patients to listen to their bodies.” Dr. Foley’s professional associations include the American Podiatric Medical Association and the California Podiatric Association.
