Understanding Fall Prevention

When you think of gravity, you might conjure the proverbial image of Sir Isaac Newton sitting under the tree and getting hit in the head by a falling apple, but Dallas Podiatry Works thinks about fall prevention measures for our patients! We know that everyone falls victim to gravity’s pull sooner or later. This is […]

Ankle Surgery- Repairing the Complex

The lower extremity really is an incredible design in motion. So many parts and pieces work together to make even the smallest movement possible. Unfortunately, our bodies aren’t invincible. When a traumatic injury occurs or conservative efforts have failed to help, surgery is sometimes needed to put the parts and pieces back together. A Complex Mechanism The […]

Breaks, Sprains, or Fractures: What’s the Difference?

Imagine you’re running when you stumble over a large crack in the pavement. You feel a sudden, sharp pain in your foot. Whenever you try to move your lower limb, it hurts, and you have to limp to keep walking. What did you injure—a bone, or the supporting connective tissues? When a problem occurs inside your […]

Ankle Instability: When You Didn’t Heal Well the First Time

You’ve probably felt it before: you push off the ground to sprint toward the finish line, or dribble the soccer ball, or catch the Frisbee thrown at the park, when you feel the twinge in your ankle. Sometimes it’s just a slight pain and you push on, hardly noticing. Other times it forces you to […]

Stretches for the Feet and Ankles

The next time you watch an exercise DVD, pay special attention to the time spent on stretching the feet and ankles.  It’s likely that your favorite exercise guru completely ignores these areas of the body.  This seems counterintuitive when you consider that your feet are bearing up to four times or more the body’s weight […]

Stress Fracture: Splitting the Skeleton

Do you trust wooden planks with visible cracks to hold your weight? If you’re smart, you test their strength before trusting them. You do that because you know cracks weaken solid objects, even if they don’t cut all the way through. Weight or force on those weak points makes objects even less stable and more […]

Ball of Foot Pain

The balls of your feet—those padded areas on the bottom of your feet between the toes and the arch—are surprisingly complex under the surface. Five long metatarsal bones occupy a tight space with a pair of sesamoid bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels. Considering how much stress and impact force this area of […]

Arthritis in the Feet: Living with Joint Pain

Even a minor ache or pain can make your whole body feel weary. While we often attribute discomfort to a heavy day of activity or simply getting older, there may actually be more going on inside your joints that is to blame. There are many forms of arthritis that can affect anyone at any age […]

Melanoma—Early Detection and Prevention Saves Lives

Whether it affects a specific individual or a close loved one, cancer is a condition that touches everyone in some capacity. When we talk about feet, an important cancer to understand is malignant melanoma. Catching this disease early improves the success rate of treatment, but preventing it in the first place is even better. What […]

Foot Anatomy and How It Relates to Common Issues

It’s easy to take your body for granted when everything is running smoothly. You probably don’t consider facts like blood travels 12,000 miles within your body in a single day and you generate roughly 25 million new cells every second. The body might be overlooked as a whole, but we’re inclined to think feet, in […]

The doctor has great “bedside manners” when talking to patients. Great staff and comfortable atmosphere.

Derrick W.

The staff at Dallas Podiatry Works could not have been more courteous, helpful, and professional in doing their job. They made me feel comfortable when I was there, which is certainly appreciated. They answered all the questions that I had and just made each visit the most pleasurable that it could be. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of foot care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Brook to anyone with foot problems–especially problems that stump other podiatrists. He really is very caring and very knowledgeable.

Jeannette H.

Dr. Joel Brook and the staff were nice and helpful. Though I was a new patient, I got right in as soon as they were open in my preferred location. They diagnosed the problem and provided medicines along with a perfect gel bandage so I could keep exercising while my toes healed. My toes already hurt less and look a little better each day. If I have future issues, I will be a repeat customer. Here’s hoping I don’t, but at least I know my feet are in good hands.

I visited this office for an ingrown toe nail a few years ago. After seeing another doctor, who made it worse, he referred me to Dallas Podiatry Works. The doctor there was able to fix my problem. I’m not great with reviews, all I can tell you is that this doctor and staff will have you up and running or doing whatever it is you do in no time. You will be in great hands. You’d be a fool not to use this doctor. Now its time to visit him again for the other toe.
