KNOW YOUR FEET: Common Foot Conditions and Injures 

Athlete's Foot

Athlete’s foot causes red, scaly, itchy skin particularly between the toes. Keeping your feet clean and dry is the best way to avoid catching this very common fungal infection. This is treatable and can be cured. 


Ankle Sprains

More than 3 million Americans suffer from this injury each year. Ankle sprains happen when ligaments in the ankle are overly stretched or torn. Medical evaluation is necessary to rule out a fracture and assess the full extent of the injury.


Bunions

A bunion is a bone deformity usually at the base of the big toe. It’s a progressive condition made worse by pressure from tight or bad fitting shoes. Bunions can be very painful and, in some instances, may require surgical repair.


Flat Feet

Flat feet is a condition where the entire, or nearly entire, bottoms of your feet meet the ground when standing. Symptoms can range from severe pain to no pain at all depending on the severity of the condition.


Diabetic Foot Care

Diabetes is a systemic illness that can affect many parts of the body especially your feet. Proper foot screening is essential for any diabetic patient. Any cut or sore on a diabetic foot must be taken seriously and treated as soon as possible.


Corns and Calluses

Corns and calluses are hard, built-up layers of skin usually caused by friction. They generally appear on areas of the foot that bear weight or rub against your shoe. “Soft corns” can be found between the toes.


Hammertoes

A hammertoe is when your second, third, and/or fourth toe stays bent or curled at the middle joint. 


Heel Spurs

Heel spurs are bony protrusions on the heel bone. They can be confused with plantar fasciitis which is inflammation of the band of ligaments that run along your sole. Both conditions can make walking painful and difficult especially first thing in the morning.
