hi, we're going to talk about pain in theback of the heel today. so what we're talking about is pain at the very back portion ofthe heel. we're not really talking about the achilles tendinitis and if we look over hereat this picture here's the achilles tendon coming in attaching into the back of the heel.if you have pain up in this area, do a search for our page. go to the website, do a searchfor achilles tendinitis, and you'll find another video and a lot of information on that. really what we're talking about now is painright at the back of the heel. so there's a few things that will cause pain in thisarea. certainly, you can have an inflammation of the achilles tendon where it attaches inhere. there's what's called the bursa between

the bone and the tendon that acts as a littlebit of cushiony. that can become inflamed, and sometimes this bone will become enlargeditself trapping that tendon between the shoe and the bone. so when we try and treat painat the back of the heel, there's a couple of things we need to do. number one, certainly we need to get rid ofthe inflammation. so we might use ice, we might use some anti-inflammatory medications.we're very resistant to do any sort of injection in that area that can weaken the achillestendon and that's certainly something you don't want to do. in addition, we want toget pressure off of this area. so you get pressure off of it by choosing shoes appropriately,doing some stretching on shoes, and sometimes

we'll do a little modification of the shoeto get pressure away from this area. will often use some sort of orthotic device thatwill stop the foot from moving so much. that decreases friction against the back of theheel. so friction it'll play a big role there, andsometimes we'll put special patches that decrease friction on the back of a shoe to stop frictionin this area. rarely, but sometimes if the bone is enlarged, we do have to go in surgicallyand make that bone somewhat smaller so that the tendon and the bone is not trapped againstthe shoe. surgery should always be your very, very last resort. again, go to our website, do a search forpain on the back of the heel. you'll find

information of both conservative and surgicaltreatment for this problem. but again, surgery should be your last resort. if you're in ourarea, make an appointment to see us and we can give you the best conservative treatmentalong with the surgical treatment. if you're not in our area, look for a podiatrist whospecializes in sports medicine and biomechanics.

gout is an inflammatory disease in which monosodiumurate crystals deposit into a joint, making it red, hot, tender and swollen within hours. when this happens, it’s called a gouty attack. the underlying cause is hyperuricemia—toomuch uric acid in the blood, which results in the formation of sharp, needle-like crystals,in areas with slow blood flow like the joints and the kidney tubules. over time, repeated gouty attacks can causedestruction of the joint tissue which results in arthritis. to understand where the uric acid comes from,let’s start with purines, which, together with pyrimidines, are nature’s most commonnitrogen-containing heterocycles. a heterocycle being any molecular ring orcycle with different types of atoms. purines, as well as pyrimidines, are key componentsof nucleic acids like dna and rna, and when cells, along with the nucleic acids in thosecells, are broken down throughout the body, those purines are converted into uric acid—amolecule that can be filt

hey, guys. dr. berg here. in this video, we're going to talk about howmuch fat you need to consume on a ketogenic diet per meal. there's a lot of theories out there, but ihave an unfair advantage because i have a lot of people i can practice on in my clinicto see what works and what doesn't work. i'm going to show you what works. a couple of things that people bring up allthe time is, is a ketogenic diet, which means you're eating more fat, is that dangerousfor your heart? the answer is no, it's not. in fact, it's not the fat that plugs up yourarteries, it's the sugar. there's tons and tons of studies, i'll putsome links below, on this fact. ketogenic diets are not dangerous if you dothem correctly. second question that people say or they'veheard, they say, "well, the more fat that you eat, the more fat you're going to burn." that's another myth because you could be burningthe dietary fat and not your own fat. now, the w
