Common Conditions
Foot & ankle conditions we treat
Bunions
A bunion (also referred to as hallux valgus or hallux abducto valgus) is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that — the visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot.
Heel Pain
Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. It may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or, rarely, a cyst.
Ingrown Toenail
Ingrown toenails are due to the penetration of the edges of the nail plate into the soft tissue of the toe. It begins with a painful irritation that often becomes infected.
Corns & Calluses
Corns and calluses are areas of thick skin that result from excessive pressure or friction over a boney prominence. When these areas develop on the bottom of the foot they are called calluses.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a contracture (bending) of one or both joints of the second, third, fourth, or fifth (little) toes. This abnormal bending can put pressure on the toe when wearing shoes, causing problems to develop.
Neuroma
A neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue that may develop in various parts of the body. The most common neuroma in the foot is a Morton's neuroma, which occurs between the third and fourth toes.
Orthotics
A prescription foot orthosis is an in-shoe brace which is designed to correct for abnormal foot and lower extremity function (the foot, ankle, leg, knee, thigh and hip).
Plantar Warts
The common wart is known as verruca vulgaris. They are caused by a viral infection of the skin, occurring as a result of direct contact with the virus. They occur more commonly in children than adults.
