Ingrown Toenails

A common cause of foot pain is ingrown nails. As the name suggests it's when the nail grows into the side of the toe and the skin. It can be especially painful as it usually leads to inflammation. Your podiatrist can help ease the discomfort and can help you prevent the problem from recurring.

Heel Pain

The band of tissue that runs from your heel bone to your toes can sometimes become inflamed due to excess pressure on your arches. The condition is named after this ligament, plantar fasciitis. Your podiatrist can prescribe orthotics which can help provide support and night splints to stretch the plantar fascia as you sleep. Steroid shots and sometimes surgery may be necessary.

Corns and Calluses

These can often be treated with padding or a change in footwear. But your podiatrist can remove the hardened skin in the office with a scalpel.

Corns and calluses often occur due to deformities of the feet, because of conditions such as hammertoes and bunions. Which may also require surgical intervention if the condition is severe enough.
