Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. The plantar fascia is a ligament that connects your heel to the front of your foot. When this ligament becomes inflamed, plantar fasciitis is the result. If you have plantar fasciitis you will have a stabbing pain that usually occurs with your first steps in the morning. As the day progresses and you walk around more, this pain will start to disappear, but it will return after long periods of standing or sitting.
Emergency Care
Every 11 seconds, an elderly American is being treated in an emergency room for a fall related injury. Falls are the leading cause of head and hip injuries for those 65 and older. Due to decreases in strength, balance, senses, and lack of awareness, elderly persons are very susceptible to falling. Thankfully, there are a number of things older persons can do to prevent falls.

MRI
In many cases the cause of toe pain is obvious, but in others, a podiatrist may want to use more advanced methods to determine the problem. These can range from simple visual inspections and sensation tests to X-rays and MRI scans. Prior medical history, family medical history, and any recent physical traumatic events will all be taken into consideration for a proper diagnosis.

Joint Replacement
Arthritis, which can affect the joints of the feet and ankles, can be treated surgically as well. Joint replacement surgery may be suggested for joints in the feet or the ankle joints if the arthritis is severe and significantly impacts your mobility. Systemic diseases, like diabetes, poor circulation, and peripheral neuropathy, can damage the lower limbs. When these conditions are left undiagnosed, untreated, or are poorly managed, lower limb problems often occur. Infected and poorly healing foot wounds, for example, are frequently seen among people with diabetes. When these wounds progress, surgery may be needed to remove damaged tissue and save the limb from amputation.
Bunions
A bunion is a bone deformity usually occurring at the base of the big toe. This is a progressive condition that is made worse by inward pressure from tight shoes. Bunions can be very painful, and in some instances surgery may be necessary to remove them.
Arthroscopy
Ingrown Toenails
Most ingrown toenails are caused by improper trimming of the nails. Trimming your nails into a rounded shape or cutting them too short can lead to ingrown toenails. When trimming the toenails, it is suggested that you use nail clippers to trim the nails straight across. The nails’ length should be roughly even with the tips of your toes. Wearing shoes that are too tight and narrow in the toes can also lead to ingrown nails, as the tight shoes compress your toes and can cause the nails to dig into the skin. To avoid this, opt for shoes with a wide toe box.

Corns
Corns and calluses are hard layers of skin that usually form due to friction. Generally, they will be in areas of the foot that are bearing weight, or areas that frequently rub against the shoe. Soft corns are typically found between the toes.
Ulcer
The importance of maintaining proper foot care is extremely critical for diabetic patients. Neuropathy is a common condition among this group of people. This is defined as the inability to feel existing cuts, bruises, and scrapes on the feet, as a result of nerve damage. Proper diabetic foot care can begin with washing and drying the feet thoroughly, especially between the toes. This can be followed by applying a light moisturizer, which may be helpful in preventing cracked heels. Trimming the toenails weekly is a crucial step in practicing good foot care, and a podiatrist is able to do this correctly. It is important to wear shoes that fit properly, in addition to refraining from walking barefoot. A cut that develops on the foot may become infected easier in people who are diabetic, and prompt medical care is often sought, which may help to prevent a foot ulcer from developing. If you have diabetes, it is strongly suggested that you are under the care of a podiatrist who can help you to manage this condition.
Calluses
Doing a daily foot inspection, which can be done with the help of a mirror, is vital. This practice can help you detect any abnormalities in your feet early on so that they can be treated promptly. Each day, sit down in a chair and check both of your feet for any cuts, scrapes, sores, bruises, blisters, cracks, corns, calluses, swelling, or discoloration. Also, take note of how your feet feel. Is there any pain or discomfort? Burning, stinging, numbness, or itchy sensations? If you notice anything out of the ordinary, it is strongly suggested that you see a podiatrist as soon as possible. A podiatrist can help you by diagnosing and treating any foot problems when they arise, thus maintaining the health of your feet.
Fungus
Toenail fungus can be treated through topical solutions, which are applied directly to the nail or oral antifungal medications. In severe cases where the infection has progressed or is recurring, surgery to remove some or all of the infected nail may be necessary. If you have toenail fungus, please consult with a podiatrist who can find the right treatment for you.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
There are a variety of treatment options available for plantar fasciitis along with the pain that accompanies it. Additionally, physical therapy is a very important component in the treatment process. It is important that you meet with your podiatrist to determine which treatment option is best for you.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
Common minor injuries include ankle sprains, ankle strains, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, and turf toe. An ankle sprain is when the ligaments in the ankle have either become stretched or torn. When the muscle or tendon is stretched or torn, it is an ankle strain. When the big toe is sprained, it is known as turf toe. Achilles tendonitis is the overuse and inflammation of the Achilles tendon. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia and generally occurs from overuse in athletics. Stress fractures are also caused from overuse and are small cracks in the bone.

Achilles Tendonitis
Heel pain is a frequent complaint among people who visit a podiatrist. It can have a variety of causes, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, bursitis, Sever’s disease, and nerve pain. The location and type of pain that you are experiencing helps guide diagnosis.
Ankle Sprain
Foot and ankle injuries are common among athletes and those who exercise frequently. Most of these injuries are non-life-threatening and can heal in weeks with proper treatment and care. Serious injuries, however, such as foot or ankle fractures, require urgent medical treatment.
Bunions Problems
Stress on the feet – Poorly fitted and uncomfortable footwear that places stress on feet, such as heels, can worsen existing bunions

Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
Onychomycosis, or fungal infection of the toenails, is a very common condition. The fungi that cause this infection live and thrive in warm and moist environments. Unfortunately, this makes the feet and toenails an ideal home for them. Toenail fungus is highly contagious and can be contracted from walking barefoot in places like public pools and communal showers, sharing personal items like towels and shoes, and coming into direct contact with an infected person.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a characterized by one or more of the toes having a bend in the middle joint. This occurs because of weakening of the muscle due to poorly fitted shoes or a genetically inherited trait.
Heel Spurs
A heel spur is a bony protrusion that occurs on the heel. It is often confused with plantar fasciitis, which is inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament. When a heel spur is painful it can make it quite difficult to walk.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Foot Infections
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a nail grows into the surrounding skin, rather than over it. This can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and tenderness of the surrounding area. In more severe cases, the area can become infected and lead to bleeding, oozing of pus, and fever, among other symptoms.
Foot Injuries
Metatarsalgia
Describing the location and type of foot pain that you are experiencing is the key to an accurate diagnosis. Pain in the heel is often caused by plantar fasciitis, Sever’s disease, bursitis, Achilles tendonitis, a heel spur, or a stress fracture. Pain in the middle of the foot may be due to an overuse injury, stress fracture, sprains, flat feet, or arthritis. Pain in the front of the foot is frequently the result of a sprained or broken toe, Morton’s neuroma, bunions, hammertoes, or metatarsalgia. Stinging, burning, or numbness may be indicative of damage to one or more nerves in the feet. Stabbing or sharp pain may be caused by an acute injury. Stiffness and a reduction are usually characteristic of a joint problem, such as arthritis.
Plantar Fasciitis
The strong tendon found on the bottom of the foot which connects the heel to the toes is called the plantar fascia. Inflammation or a tear to this tendon can be quite uncomfortable and result in plantar fasciitis. This condition can be caused by frequently running on uneven surfaces or wearing shoes that do not fit correctly. Many people who stand for the majority of the day may develop plantar fasciitis, in addition to pregnant women due to the extra weight their feet must bear. While pregnancy is a temporary condition, obesity may be a more permanent one, and this can put constant pressure on the plantar fascia. Studies suggest that people who have poor circulation may slowly develop plantar fasciitis because of the loss of blood flow to the feet. If you have heel pain, it is strongly suggested that you speak with a podiatrist who can offer you permanent treatment solutions.
Podiatric Deformities
Certain injuries may require surgery to ensure a full recovery. These can include severe ankle sprains, fractures, Achilles tendon ruptures, turf toe, Morton’s neuroma, and plantar fasciitis. While foot deformities can usually be dealt with conservatively, surgical treatment may be warranted if the deformity is moderate to severe or impacts your quality of life. Common foot deformities that can be treated with surgery include bunions and hammertoes.
