Nail colors

Nail can turn different colors for different local or systemic problems.  Nails can change color because of infections that involve the nail itself, the bed under the nail, or the skin around the nail. Most nail infections are fungal infections, but bacterial and viral infections can occur. Bacterial infections may occur in the cuticle or nail folds (paronychia).

 

Green nails- are a sign of bacterial infection

Red streaks - in your nail bed are a warning of a heart valve infection

Blueish nails - signal low oxygen levels in your blood

Dull nails - mean a vitamin deficiency

White nails - may signal liver disease, such as hepatitis

Dark stripes at the top (Terry’s nails) - are associated with aging and congestive heart failure

  Custom orthotics

  Orthotic or inserts can significantly relieve symptoms caused by common foot problems. An orthosis can support an area of collapse, cushion an area of pressure, accommodate fixed deformity, limit motion, equalize limb length, and reduce shear of the foot in the shoe. When walking, the normal foot changes from a supple, shock-absorbing structure to rigid to push-off. Patients with high arches there feet is rigid and lack shock absorption. Patients with flatfeet have a extremely supple and often are not effective for push-off.
  
  Many types of simple orthotic devices can be dispensed directly from the physician's office or are available at drugstores, sporting goods stores, and shoe stores. Custom orthoses are for more effective in treating foot pain and pathologies.
