Foot Pain
Whether it's due to arthritis, an injury, or Morton's neuroma, foot pain can make simple activities like walking or standing feel unbearable. Arthritis in the feet can manifest in several forms, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout, and each brings its own set of challenges and symptoms.
Foot Deformities
Foot deformities encompass a variety of conditions that affect the structure, function, and appearance of the foot. These can range from common issues like flat feet and hammertoes to more complex deformities, and they can cause discomfort, pain, and limited mobility. Whether a lifelong issue or a recent development, foot deformities should be addressed by an experienced podiatrist to prevent further complications.
Skin Conditions
Having healthy feet is crucial for our overall well-being, but conditions like nail fungus and athlete's foot can sometimes get in the way. Nail fungus begins as a small white or yellow spot under the tip of your toenail, and as the fungal infection goes deeper, the nail may discolor, thicken, and crumble at the edges.
Bunions
Bunions are a common foot deformity that can cause significant discomfort and affect your ability to walk comfortably. A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of your big toe due to misalignment, and it can lead to swelling, redness, and tenderness, making everyday activities such as walking or wearing shoes incredibly painful.
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail, a condition where the edge or corner of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, can cause significant discomfort and even lead to infection if left untreated. Ingrown toenail symptoms typically include redness, pain, swelling around the affected area, and sometimes even pus or drainage. It's a common issue that can make walking or wearing shoes a daily struggle.
