Foot pain can develop gradually over time and may interfere with walking, exercise, daily
activities, and overall quality of life. Conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Morton’s
neuroma are common causes of foot discomfort, often leading to heel pain, burning
sensations, tingling, numbness, or pain in the ball of the foot. Factors such as aging,
footwear choices, repetitive stress, standing for long periods, and certain health
conditions can contribute to or worsen these issues over time. Left untreated, chronic
foot pain may affect mobility, balance, and physical activity levels.
Join Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Tech and the Good Life on Roosevelt Island
Association (GLORIA) for a virtual session exploring common foot pathologies focusing
on conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, flatfeet, and fungal nails. Our
session will include what these conditions are, common symptoms and causes, how
they are diagnosed, and practical approaches to treatment, pain management,
supportive footwear, stretching, and other strategies to improve foot health and mobility.

points every day. But what does it all mean?

Reconstructive urology focuses on restoring normal urinary function for individuals affected by injury, disease, prior surgery, congenital conditions or cancer treatments. This area of care is focused on the treatment of conditions such as urethral strictures, urethral trauma and other forms of urinary dysfunction or injury, with treatment grounded in a multidisciplinary approach that includes comprehensive evaluation, shared decision-making, minimally invasive surgical options and long-term follow-up.
Join us for a virtual discussion, during Urology Awareness Month, where Dr. Anh T. Nguyen will explain what reconstructive urology is, provide an overview of the conditions commonly treated and share the latest surgical and minimally invasive techniques and innovations that are advancing patient care.
