Common Foot Problems

Bunions

A bunion is an enlargement of boney growth or swollen tissue typically located at the base joint of the big toe. The condition is caused by the shifting of the bones in the big toe inward, toward the other toes of the foot. The area around the base of the big toe may become inflamed, red, and painful.

Ingrown Toenail

An ingrown toenail is caused when a toenail grows sideways into the bed of the nail, causing pain and swelling. The nail can sometimes exacerbate and become infected, creating serious drainage.

Heel Pain

Heel pain is a stressful condition that affects day to day activities. Stress on the heel is often created from running and walking because the heel hits the ground first and takes on the body’s entire weight.

Orthotics

Ankle/foot orthotics are devices that are inserted into the shoes to protect the foot from a wide range of foot problems. Orthotics are available as prefabricated over-the-counter and through a prescription for custom-made orthotics tailored to the individual.

Fungal Nails

Toenail fungus is a frustrating and embarrassing condition that is common for many people. It typically starts as a tiny white or yellow growth below the tip of the toenail and spreads deeper as the infection worsens, causing the nail to discolor, thicken, or even deteriorate at the edge.
