Conditions commonly diagnosed and treated at clinic

Metatarsalgia

This condition involves pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot, often due to excessive pressure, high-impact activities, or improper footwear. Symptoms include a burning or aching sensation that worsens with standing, walking, or running.

Flat feet (Pes planus)

Flat feet occur when the arches of the feet collapse, leading to overpronation and uneven weight distribution. This can result in foot fatigue, pain, and alignment issues that may contribute to discomfort in the ankles, knees, and lower back.

Morton’s Neuroma

Morton’s neuroma is a painful nerve condition affecting the area between the toes, often described as a burning or tingling sensation. It is usually caused by compression or irritation of the nerve, leading to discomfort when walking or wearing tight shoes.

Plantar fasciitis

his condition causes heel pain due to inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot. It is often triggered by excessive strain, improper footwear, or high-impact activities, leading to discomfort, especially in the morning or after rest.

High Arches (Pes cavus)

High arches cause excessive pressure on the heel and ball of the foot, leading to instability, pain, and an increased risk of ankle sprains. People with high arches may also develop calluses, hammertoes, or foot fatigue due to poor shock absorption

Diabetic Foot Complications

People with diabetes are at higher risk of peripheral neuropathy, foot ulcers, infections, and nerve damage due to poor circulation and loss of sensation. Regular monitoring and proper foot care are essential to prevent serious complications and maintain overall foot health.

Bunions (Hallux valgus)

A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, often caused by genetics, improper footwear, or biomechanical imbalances. It can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty walking, as the toe gradually shifts out of alignment.

Achilles tendinitis

Achilles tendinitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon, typically caused by repetitive strain, poor biomechanics, or sudden increases in activity. It leads to stiffness, swelling, and pain along the back of the heel, especially after exercise or prolonged activity.

Hammer Toes

Hammer toes are toe deformities where one or more toes bend downward at the middle joint, often caused by muscle imbalances, tight footwear, or arthritis. This condition can lead to discomfort, corns, calluses, and difficulty wearing certain shoes.
