Light Therapy May Offer Relief for OA of the Foot & Ankle: MN Podiatrist
Mobility can be an issue as you get older, but the problem may begin with foot pain or soreness which makes it harder to walk, stand up, or climb stairs. It can affect balance, and could involve other parts of the body such as the knees and spine. “Ignoring foot pain is often to the detriment of the patient’s life,” says Lance M. Silverman, DPM, of Silverman Ankle and Foot in Edina, MN. “Living with it is always an option and patient choice. But there are so many non-surgical management and surgical treatment options available to patients to help them live more productive and fulfilling lives.”
Dr. Lance Silverman
Osteoarthritis is often linked to genetics or being overweight, but can also stem from a past foot or ankle injury. It damages the cartilage joint surface and can cause pain or swelling in the foot or ankle but can also harm the bones and ligaments of the affected areas. Although not a cure, light therapy can offer some relief by stimulating cells and increasing circulation. “Light therapy has some investigated medical benefits, typically from pain relief of arthritis or tendinitis,” says Dr. Silverman.

As you can see he is misidentified.
A VERY wise gentleman stated that podiatry was a lame excuse for a failed dream. Never truer words written.
http://www.angelfire.com/on/podiatry/ “Some who have perused this site have greatly misinterpreted its purpose. The purpose of this site is not to make you a believer of what I think. This web site provides factual and anecdotal information about my life experiences in podiatry, and oblique references to the many people that I know in this field. I put this site together to confront a problem that has bothered me since my earliest day in podiatry. As a young podiatry student or practitioner, you almost NEVER get the full story. I made my decision to enter podiatry, I accept that, and I… Read more »
All this written on “angelfire” proves there is ONLY ONE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PODIATRY,. AND THAT IS, PODIATRY IS A DIRTY LYING PROFESSION THAT NEEDS TO MISLEAD AND CON REJECTED MEDICAL STUDENTS INTO THEIR “FOR PROFIT” FRANCHISES. The ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE U.S,, AND EACH STATE, SHOULD CEASE AND DESIST PODIATRY SCHOOLS UNTIL THEY HONESTLY INFORM THE PUBLIC THAT THEY ARE NOT, NOR WILL EVER BE, ACTUAL DOCTORS. THE “SURGERY”, THE PHYSICIAN, THE “JUST LIKE” IS A PURE LIE. IT IS A FRAUD ON THE PUBLIC. IT IS THE LIE OF OMISSION THAT IS THE MOST AGGREGIOUS.… Read more »
Podiatry exists and existed to provide hustlers and hucksters a way to sell their sub-optimal goods and wares to medical school rejects.
No. There are NO MORE EXCUSE FOR PODIATRY BEING SO STUPID. It has had over a half a century to become a righteous honorable altruistic academic profession, but the NEW YORK CITY FOUNDERS AND THEIR SELFISH AVARICIOUS PHILOSOPHY STILL PREVAIL. Especially from the BARRY BLOCK (NYC) acolyte point of view. NY’s SUTERA (put on a little weight, have you?) talking about ‘choosing the right shoe’ in ‘BUSTLE’ MAGAZINE. No, not BIOCHEMISTRY MAGAZINE. BRAD SHAEFFER advertises that he’s the OWNER of “Sole” Podiatry (how cute of a BUISNESS name) in, where else, MANHATTAN. THE SEAT OF SCUM AND SCOUNDRELS AND THE… Read more »
Let’s get a few things straight Barry Block. How about giving more than the prejudiced side of a story? First of all, start your magazine article with the truth: It is ILLEGAL IN MANY STATES FOR PODIATRISTS TO TREAT LEG ULCERS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ACTUAL DOCTORS! To place a title that infers this is a usual and customary practice by podiatrist IS A LIE. Another MISLEADING LIE for podiatrists to STREEEETCH THEIR LICENSE VERBALLY, if not actually. Whether it’s the FALL PREVENTION SCHEME OR THE WEIGHT LOSS REDUCTION SCHEME (obesity causes flat feet don’t ‘ya know), or all the… Read more »

This will be fast because there’s quackery all over. Ivar Roth says shoes DON’T CAUSE BUNIONS. Yes those QUACK PODIATRISTS don’t know if shoes do or don’t cause bunions and they’re arguing about SHOES just like their NYC business school started in HARLEM. No science. No research. Just child like opining. Shoe pictures are all Block can come up with because he’s not a doctor or anything. Kesselman will teach you how to get MONEY. There’s an ad for ROOT ARCH SUPPORTS where it looks like the SALESMAN HAS HIS HAND DANGEROULSY NEAR THE GROIN OF WHAT SEEMS TO BE… Read more »
Commonality with many of them plus a little fettuccini added in. The Truth is out. Most buy into it. It’s not “rape”, it’s consexual sex.
INTERESTING ANALOGY. But TECHNICALLY, IT ONLY BECOMES CONSENSUAL WHEN MONEY GETS INVOLVED. Until that time the podiatric pervert is deceiving, promising, and whispering in the ear (you’ll be just like), THAT’S A RAPE OF THE MIND. Once “she” gives in”, and money is transacted, then it’s consensual.
Ag MAN’S website clearly identifies him as a NON PODIATRIST. He’s an MD who went to Baylor MEDICAL school. There are NO QUACK FOOT COLLEGES ASSOCIATED WITH BAYLOR. Just the fact that he was PHI BETA KAPPA and in the top 10% of college grads militates for him being an actual DOCTOR NOT A lower GPA podiatrist. (remember: I’m a pod too so I’m indicting myself too) What I DO KNOW FOR SURE is that BARRY BLOCK HAD ADVERTISEMENTS in his business (AND MOST LIKELY GOT $$$$$$$) for LIGHT THERAPY ADS. What’s the relationship with Block and Silverman or Block… Read more »
