A finesse is theoretically a 50-50 shot, but a 3-3 break happens only approximately one

This means that South, after discarding the spade four at trick three, should pitch the heart

Sole mate: Podiatrist can help relieve those aching feet

STORY BY TOM LLOYD STAFF WRITER Dr. David Haile.
[email protected]
PHOTOS BY DENISE RITCHIE
For millions of people, the idiom
“stand on your own two feet” some-
times is a medical impossibility.

That’s because, according to the
National Pain Report from the Ameri-
can Podiatric Medical Association,
“nearly eight in 10 Americans have
experienced foot pain” of one kind or
another, and for those with chronic
foot pain caused by bunions, ham-
mer toes, heel or ankle pain, fractures
and diabetic foot reconstruction, that
pain can be downright debilitating.

Just ask Dr. David Haile, a podiat-
ric surgery specialist with 24 years of
experience at Indian River Medical
Center.

Foot pain, says Haile, can profound-
ly impact quality of life. Fully half of all
adults say that foot pain has restrict-
ed their ability to walk, to exercise or
even just to be able to stand up when
they want.

It is something of a numbers game.
As Haile puts it, his practice treats
“the lower extremity from the knee
down.”

Your feet are complex – and some-
times finicky – anatomical structures.
Mechanically speaking, they function
as all-in-one stabilizers, shock absorb-
ers and propulsion engines that play a
vital role in your overall health.
Opinions vary on the root cause of
bunions.
In April the Harvard Medical School
said, “Shoes with narrow toes can
trigger a bunion, but they’re not the
underlying cause. Bunions run in
families, because foot type (shape
and structure) is hereditary and some
types are more prone to bunions than
others.”
Low arches, flat feet, and loose joints
and tendons all increase the risk. The
shape of the metatarsal head (the
top of the first metatarsal bone) also
makes a difference: If it’s too round,
the joint is less stable and more likely
to deform when squeezed into shoes
with narrow toes.
“High heels can exacerbate the prob-
lem because they tip the body’s weight
forward, forcing the toes into the front
of the shoe. This may help to explain
why bunions are 10 times more com-
mon in women than in men.”
“Bunions can also result from ar-
thritis,” according to Johns Hopkins.
“This often affects the big toe joint.”
Whatever the cause of a bunion,
surgery is not necessarily the best op-
tion.
“Before surgery is considered,”
states Johns Hopkins Medicine,
“your healthcare provider may rec-
ommend first wearing comfortable,
well-fitting footwear (particularly
shoes that conform to the shape of
the foot and do not cause pressure
areas). He or she may also suggest
using splints and orthotics (special
shoe inserts shaped to your feet) to
reposition the big toe and/or provide
padding. For bunions caused by ar-
thritis, medicines may help reduce
pain and swelling.”
Haile wholeheartedly agrees but if
surgery is required, he says there is

Ideal island retreat set amid mature oaks and palms

STORY BY GEORGE WHITE STAFF WRITER
[email protected]

Nestled among large live oak trees
in the maritime hammock at 126
Paradise Point Drive in south Mel-
bourne Beach is a three-bedroom,
three-bathroom home that offers a
unique Florida forest lifestyle close to
the beach in a charming location just
two miles north of Sebastian Inlet, a
spot renowned for great surfing and
world-class fishing.

Seller Fred Lee and his wife Wen-
dy carefully selected the wooded
1.3-acre lot when they built their
1,663-square-foot home back in 1997.

They had a larger house in mind origi-
nally, but scaled it down to better fit in
the natural environment. The result is
an efficient, easy-to-maintain cottage
home with a spacious main living area
above an oversized 24-foot by 24-foot
two-car garage with bedroom/office
space.

Besides the interior space, the
home has expansive balconies and
terraces that greatly increase the
indoor-outdoor living area and pro-
vide ideal opportunities to enjoy
