PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar fasciitis is characterized by inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel to the toes, causing heel pain; learn about its causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment options for healthier feet.
Wound Care
Wound care is the process of managing and treating injuries to promote healing, prevent infection, and minimize scarring. It involves cleaning the wound, applying dressings, managing pain, and monitoring for signs of complications.
BUNIONS
Bunions are a joint deformity of the big toe joint causing pain and difficulty wearing shoes; treatment ranges from footwear changes to surgical correction with a typical recovery period of 2-3 months.
TOENAIL FUNGUS
Toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, can lead to discoloration, thickening, shape change, brittleness, and odor in infected toenails.
Corns
Corns are thickened skin areas caused by friction or pressure, commonly on toes or feet soles, treatable by wearing proper footwear, using padding, or surgically removing them to prevent recurrence.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails result from the toenail growing into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling; treatment involves soaking the foot, gently lifting the nail, and keeping the area clean, with severe cases requiring podiatric intervention.
Heel Spurs
Heel spurs are bony growths beneath the heel bone that can exacerbate plantar fasciitis symptoms, leading to sharp heel pain; treatment includes rest, stretching, orthotics, and sometimes surgery.
Flat Feet (Pes Planus)
Flat feet occur when the foot arch collapses, causing pain and swelling, especially after prolonged standing or walking; treatment involves supportive footwear, orthotics, and exercises to strengthen foot muscles.
Hammertoes
Hammertoes cause toe joints to bend abnormally, leading to pain and difficulty fitting into shoes; treatment includes roomier footwear, padding, exercises, and surgery if severe.
Neuromas
Neuromas are nerve growths between toes, causing pain, burning, and tingling; treatment includes footwear changes, orthotics, injections, or surgical removal.
Morton's Neuroma
Morton's neuroma specifically affects the nerve between the third and fourth toes, causing sharp pain or numbness; treatment options include supportive footwear, orthotics, injections, therapy, or surgery.
Plantar Warts
Plantar warts, caused by HPV, appear on the sole of the foot and can be painful; treatment involves medications, cryotherapy, laser therapy, or surgical removal.
Gout
Gout causes sudden, severe joint pain, often in the big toe, due to uric acid buildup; treatment includes medications, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications.
Stress Fractures
Stress fractures are small bone cracks from repetitive stress, causing localized pain and swelling, treated with rest, immobilization, icing, and gradual return to activity.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage causing tingling, numbness, or pain in the feet due to various factors like diabetes; treatment involves managing underlying causes, symptom relief, and lifestyle changes, possibly including medication and physical therapy.
