Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, often resulting in one or
more ligaments on the outside of the ankle to be stretched or torn. If not properly treated, ankle sprains could
develop into long-term problems.
Bunions
Bunions are misaligned big toe joints that can become swollen and tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to
slant outward, and the second joint to angle toward the other toes.
Bunion Surgery
Surgical removal of a bunion is called a bunionectomy. However, there are multiple types of bunionectomies,
each designed to resolve different structural changes caused by the deformity. Read More...
Flat Feet
Flat feet are a common condition. In infants and toddlers, the longitudinal arch is not developed and flat feet are
normal. The arch develops in childhood, and by adulthood, most people have developed normal arches.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a deformity of the second, third or fourth toes. In this condition, the toe is bent at the middle
joint, resembling a hammer. Left untreated, hammertoes can become inflexible and require surgery.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown Toenails are a common ailment, and can be quite painful. Ingrown toenails start out hard, swollen,
and tender. However, they may become sore, red, and infected as the skin may start to grow over the ingrown
toenail. Read More...
Diabetes and Your Feet
With a diabetic foot, a wound as small as a blister from wearing a shoe that's too tight can cause a lot of
damage. Diabetes decreases blood flow, so injuries are slow to heal.
Heel Pain
Plantar fasciitis (or heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Our practice can
evaluate arch pain, and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called orthoses to help alleviate the pain. Read More...
Corns
Corns and calluses are protective layers of compacted, dead skin cells. They are caused by repeated friction from
skin rubbing against bony areas or against an irregularity in a shoe. Corns ordinarily form on the toes and calluses
on the soles of the feet.
Athlete's Foot
A chronic infection caused by various types of fungus, Athlete's foot is often spread in places where people go
barefoot such as public showers or swimming pools.
