What is that and how is it treated? A heel spur is the result of over stretching a par ticular muscle on the bottom of the foot, called the plantar fascia. When this muscle is constantly overstretched (for example, with each step you take), your body develops thickened tissue where the plantar fascia attaches to the bone in your heel. Having this thickened tissue underneath your heel becomes painful with every step and can even be painful with the first step taken in the morning. Typically heel spurs develop over time or when a new activity (power walking, jogging or running) is star ted. Treatment of heel spurs involves visiting your Chiropodist for a full lower leg examination, specifically a gait analysis to see if the position of your foot while walking is overstretching/straining the muscles on the bottom of your foot. Your Chiropodist will evaluate your footwear, advise you on specific footwear do's and dont's for your foot type and may even suggest Custom Made Foot Or thotics. Custom Made Foot Or thotics are inser ts that correctly align your foot so as not to over stretch/strain the muscles on the bottom of your foot. Custom Made Foot Or thotics are generally at least par tially covered by Extended Health Insurance Plans and are also tax deductible. Q: What is BOTOX and how does it work? A: BOTOX Cosmetic is an injectable treatment derived from Q: Who should be injecting BOTOX? A: BOTOX injection is a medical procedure, and for your a purified protein. It is manufactured under strict quality control standards and is administered in extremely dilute dosages. A tiny amount is injected into the muscle that creates the dynamic wrinkle. When BOTOX is injected into the muscle, it blocks the nerve impulse from reaching that area, and as a result, the muscle relaxes and the dynamic wrinkle overlying the muscle is smoothed away. It gives the face a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. Best of all, regular use of this treatment will soften expression lines and help to "stop the clock" on the development or further deepening of lines. Nancy White Sheridan Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning presents a new and exciting Job Finding Club cover letter Q. How can I use myapplicants? to set me apart from other A. The purpose of a cover letter is to showcase how your skills and relevant experience match the requirements of the position you are applying to. Keep in mind that an employer also looks at a cover letter to critique your business writing skills. In addition to your skills and experience, make reference to their product or industry and how the employer would benefit from your previous work experience. If that isn't relevent, you can even comment on their mission statement and indicate how you have demonstrated these values and initiatives in the past. Make the connection and show the employer that you `get them'! safety, Health Canada requires injections to always be performed under the direct supervision of a physician to minimize your risks and side effects. The injections take approximately 10 to 15 minutes and you may then return to normal activity. An improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 6 months, although results may vary. One thing to remember is that BOTOX is intended to enhance the way you look, not change it.
