In some cases there is a presence of swelling, a callus, a corn or an open ulcer (wound) formation that just won't heal. If the toe can be manually reduced to some degree, a small in-office procedure can significantly reduce or eliminate this problem. The procedure is called a percutanous tenotomy - a procedure where a needle is advanced through the skin to make a small release in a tendon. The procedure is performed under simple local anesthesia. The tendon that keeps the toe contracted down is released with the pinpoint scalpel-like tip of the needle. The toe is dressed and splinted and the patient receives simple care instruction for home. The toe that once only touched the ground at its tip will now be able to lay flatter, reducing pressure on the tip of the toe. This has also proven effective for those who have more pain on top of the toe because the toe now lays flat and is not fighting with the inside of the shoe, significantly reducing or eliminating pain. Overall, percutaneous tenotomy is an effective therapy for correcting the majority of lesser toe deformities and it can be done in a clinical setting. Patients do not require sutures, they can weight bear immediately after the procedure and they don't have to take any time off from work. However, this procedure is not meant to be a cosmetic fix. Are Your Feet Getting On Your Nerves? Peripheral neuropathy is a result of nerve damage.Nerve damage can have many causes, including diabetes, injury, chemotherapy, infections, etc. The most common symptoms are numbness, tingling,burning sensation,pins and needles,generalized pain,muscle twitching/ weakness and loss of balance. Until now, treatments consisted of a handful of medications. In our clinic,we offer the latest treatment protocol known as Combination Electrochemical Treatment (CET). CET protocol is tailored around the patient's condition in order to achieve optimal results.This drug free modality has a high success rate in a long-term reduction of neuropathic symptoms. Changed has come to Ontario and Doug Ford will be the next premier of the province as the Progress Conservative's have won a majority government. "We have taken back On- tario," said Ford in his vic- tory speech at the Toronto Congress Centre. "We have delivered a government that is for the people, "The party with the tax- payers' money is over." He said the they will bring accountability, trans- parency and respect for tax- payers' money back to Queen's Park. He thanked the voters and said they reminded him of what his purpose and promises were and what he needed to bring to government. ""A new day has dawned in Ontario - a day of oppor- tunity, a day of prosperity and a day of growth," said Ford. "We will make Onta- rio, once again, the engine of Canada." The Conservatives need- ed 63 seats to form their first majority government since Ernie Eves was de- feated in 2003. Voters said they had enough of Liberal party rule after 15 years and former Premier Kathleen Wynne's party hovered around official party status most of the night as they needed eight seats to retain that status. One of the big beneficia- ries of that impetus for change was the NDP's An- drea Horwath who saw their seat total climb to 38 after polling had them neck and neck with the Progres- sive Conservatives heading into election day June 7. The Liberal collapse also helped the Green party, as party leader Mike Schrein- er became the first Green candidate to earn a seat in the legislature. That was important for the party as they will now be included in future election debates and have to be included in the party deliberations. The crowd at the Delta Hotel in Waterloo erupted in cheers a number of times as campaign volunteers an- nounced incoming polls, When it was announced that Fife won the Waterloo riding, supporters at the lo- cal NDP headquarters cele- brated before the attention quickly turned to the re- maining races. Fife won for the third straight time since she won the seat in a by- election in 2012. When it was announced that Ford had secured a ma- jority those cheers turned to boos. "It's a bleak prov- ince, but locally we're good," said one volunteer. "Doug Ford doesn't know who he's messing with," said Fife upon her en- try at the NDP headquar- ters. "We worked really hard to hold the riding and obvi- ously it was a tough elec- PROVINCIAL ELECTION Doug Ford is Ontario's new premier as Conservatives win majority l See LOCAL, page 7
