Bunions While the most common location of a bunion may be at the base of the “Big Toe” it may also form at the base of the “Little Toe”. A bunion formed at this location is referred to as a “Bunionette” or a “Tailor’s Bunion”.
Claw Toes
Claw Toes may occur in any single toe or in multiple toes. The Claw Toe deformity may be classified as either flexible (the toe/toes may be straightened out manually) or rigid (the toe/toes are in a rigid/fixed position).”.
Hammer Toes
Hammer Toes may occur in any single toe or in multiple toes. The Hammer Toe deformity may be classified as either flexible (the toe/toes may be straightened out manually) or rigid (the toe/toes are in a rigid/fixed position).
Heel Pain In adults heel pain is one of the most common types of foot pain. It most often occurs as a result of the stress from daily activities and exercise. The heel bone is the largest bone in the foot and it is the first part of the foot to strike the ground when you take a step
Heel Spurs
The heel bone is the largest bone in the foot. During activity it absorbs the most pressure and shock. When the Plantar Fascia pulls away from the heel calcium deposits form and create bony outgrowths called Heel Spurs.
In-Grown Toenails
n In-Grown Toenail occurs when the skin on the side of the toenail grows over the edge of the nail or when the toenail grows into the skin. This can be a very painful condition which can substantially limit the activity of the individual who suffers from it.
Mallet Toes
The Mallet Toe deformity may be classified as either flexible (the toe/toes may be straightened out manually) or rigid (the toe/toes are in a rigid/fixed position).
Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia is a common foot condition that may affect the bones and joints under the second, third or fourth metatarsal heads or the condition may be isolated at the first metatarsal head under the Great Toe/”Big Toe”.
Morton's Neuroma
The bones at the “ball” of the foot are called the metatarsals. There are 5 metatarsals (one for each toe) on the bottom (sole) of the foot. When the nerves that travel between them are compressed (squeezed tightly), stretched or trapped discomfort or pain may occur.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a functional disturbance of the Peripheral Nervous System. The nerves of the Peripheral Nervous System are the nerves that lie outside of the Central Nervous System (which controls the brain and spinal cord).
Over Pronation (Flat Feet)
Over Pronation places an extreme degree of strain on various connective tissues of the ankle, foot, and knee. If this condition is not addressed foot pain and toe deformities such as bunions, hammer toes (just to name a couple) may develop.
Plantar Fasciitis
The Plantar Fascia is a wide band of fibrous (stringy) tissue which runs along the bottom (sole) of the foot. This band of tissue is attached at the heel bone and extends forward to the base of the toes. The Plantar Fascia helps to hold the foot arch together and serves as a shock absorber during activity.
Post Tibial Tendonitis
The Posterior Tibial Tendon (fibrous tissue arranged somewhat like a nylon rope) runs down along the inside bump on the ankle, it continues its path across the instep and attaches to the inside of the foot and then into the bottom of the foot.
Stress Fractures
The Posterior Tibial Tendon (fibrous tissue arranged somewhat like a nylon rope) runs down along the inside bump on the ankle, it continues its path across the instep and attaches to the inside of the foot and then into the bottom of the foot.
