Structural Conditions
The average individual will exert several hundred tons of pressure on their feet each day. The physical results may include: bunions, hammertoes, flat feet, heel pain, neuromas, and arthritic conditions.
   
Trauma-Induced Injuries
Heel Pain may be the result of excessive standing or walking. Often the ligaments become inflamed. This is known as plantar fasciitis. A heel spur may also be developing.

Treatment options include strappings, anti-inflammatory medication, custom made orthotics, cortisone in
jection or possible surgery. Shockwave treatment is also available.
   
Nail Conditions 
Ingrown toenails develop as a result of a curved toenail pushing into the adjacent skin. The side of the toe becomes red, swollen and inflamed. Infection often develops.

Treatment includes removal of the side of the toenail. This is done under local anesthesia. Antibiotics, soaks and pain medications are also prescribed.
   
Surface Skin Conditions
These types of foot conditions can produce symptoms ranging from slight irritation to severely limiting pain. Corns, calluses, warts, fungal infections, lesions and ulcers are examples.
   
Congenital Conditions  
The early signs of problems that may lead to foot deformity can frequently be detected in children. The use of prescription footgear, orthotic devices, physical therapy and rehabilitative exercises may alter foot function so as to delay or prevent the onset of foot deformities. When left untreated, such deformities may require more invasive or aggressive treatment in future years.
