Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis is inflammation of the Achilles tendon due to overuse or repetitive stress. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and stiffness in the back of the ankle. Treatment includes rest, ice, stretching, strengthening exercises, and orthotics. In severe cases, physical therapy or surgery may be necessary.
Ankle Pain
Ankle pain can be caused by injury, overuse, arthritis, or medical conditions such as sprains, strains, fractures, tendonitis, arthritis, and nerve compression. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve rest, ice, compression, elevation, physical therapy, medication, or surgery. It's important to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Ankle Sprains
An ankle sprain is a common injury caused by twisting the ankle during physical activities. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking. Treatment involves rest, ice, compression, elevation, pain relievers, and physical therapy. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Athlete’s Foot
Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal infection that usually starts between the toes due to sweaty feet in tight shoes. Symptoms include a scaly rash, itching, stinging, and burning. It is contagious and can be treated with antifungal medications, but may recur. Prescription medications are also an option.
Bunions
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. It occurs when the big toe pushes against the next toe, forcing the joint of the big toe to get bigger and stick out. Bunions can be painful and may require treatment, such as wearing wider shoes, using orthotic inserts, or in severe cases, surgery.
Corns
Corns are smaller than calluses, with a hard center surrounded by irritated skin. They are commonly found on the tops and sides of toes, and between toes, causing pain and discomfort when pressure is applied.
Calluses
Calluses are thickened areas of skin caused by friction or pressure. They are most often found on hands and feet, serving as protection. While they can be uncomfortable, they are not harmful. Treatment options include moisturizing creams and filing to reduce discomfort.
Diabetic Foot Care
Daily foot care can reduce the risk of developing ulcers and infections. Check your feet for abnormalities, maintain good hygiene, keep your feet warm, promote blood flow, and live a healthy lifestyle to prevent other conditions.
Flat Feet
Flat feet is a condition where the arches of the feet are flattened, causing the entire sole to touch the ground. This can lead to pain and discomfort, especially when standing or walking for long periods. It can be caused by genetics, injury, or medical conditions. Treatment may include supportive footwear, orthotic inserts, physical therapy, or surgery in some cases.
Geriatric Foot Care
Geriatric foot care is a specialized field of podiatry that focuses on the foot health of elderly individuals. It addresses issues such as arthritis, diabetes, skin and nail care, and fall prevention to improve comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life for older adults. This care involves managing symptoms, preventing complications, and providing education on proper foot care and footwear choices.
Hammertoes
Hammertoes are a foot deformity where the toe bends downward at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. It can be caused by ill-fitting shoes, foot injuries, or medical conditions like arthritis. Treatment includes wearing proper shoes, using orthotic devices, and sometimes surgery.
Neuromas
A neuroma is a benign nerve tissue growth. The most common type is Morton's neuroma in the foot, causing pain. Neuromas can occur in other body parts, causing symptoms like pain, tingling, and weakness. Treatment may involve medication, physical therapy, or surgery based on severity.
