Patient Education
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. Symptoms Pain in the ankle, ankle instability, limping, swelling, tenderness, or bruising.
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. Symptoms include a scaly rash that usually causes itching, stinging, and burning. People with athlete's foot can have moist, raw skin between their toes.
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. Symptoms bone deformity, pain, and stiffness
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
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. Diabetes can cause two problems that can affect your feet. Diabetic neuropathy. Uncontrolled diabetes can damage your nerves. If you have damaged nerves in your legs and feet, you might not feel heat, cold, or pain. Peripheral vascular disease. Diabetes also affects the flow of blood. Without good blood flow, it takes longer for a sore or cut to heal. Peripheral vascular disease is a circulation disorder that affects blood vessels away from the heart.
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. Symptoms Most people have no symptoms associated with flat feet. But some people with flat feet experience foot pain, particularly in the heel or arch area.
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. Symptoms The affected toe may be painful or hard to move, and may develop corns or calluses.
Ingrown toenail is caused when a toenail grows sideways into the bed of the nail, causing pain and swelling. The nail can sometimes exacerbate and become infected, creating serious drainage. Symptoms Pain, redness, and swelling can occur at the affected nail.
Plantar warts are warts that are only found on the feet, hence the term “plantar”, which means “relating to the foot.” They are caused by the human papillomavirus, or HPV, and occur when this virus gets into open wounds on the feet. The warts themselves are hard bumps on the foot and easily recognizable, mostly found on the heels or ball of the foot. Symptoms The warts are hard, grainy, or fleshy growths that can be painful.
