Common Foot Conditions

Bunions are an enlargement at the side of the foot, at the big toe joint, which can be painful.

​

Bunions are hereditary and quite often they are exasperated by footwear. Bunions often form because of a mechanical imbalance called overpronation which is a biomechanical condition when your arches collapse and roll in when walking. This imbalance puts more pressure on the big toe joint resulting in a misalignment of the joint.

Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a toenail digs into the skin. If the skin is penetrated it can lead to infection. With repeated infection, the skin may grow over the toenail, resulting in a large, swollen, tender mass.

​

Treatment for ingrown toenails ranges from conservative foot soaks, gently cutting back the corner of the affected nail with a very small nipper, or minor surgery. We may also prescribe antibiotics if the area is infected.
