Hallux Limitus

Pain and Restricted Movement in the Big Toe Joint

Heel Pain / Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis, often referred to as a “heel spur” is a common foot problem. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel which may progress to a sharp persistent pain.

Ingrown Toenails

An ingrown toenail is when the nail is curved downward and grows into the skin, usually at the sides of the nail.

Morton’s Neuroma

Morton’s Neuroma is the most common neuroma in the foot.  It occurs in the forefoot area (the ball of the foot) at the base of the third and fourth toes. It is sometimes referred to as an intermetatarsal neuroma. “Intermetatarsal” describes its location – in the ball of the foot between the metatarsal bones (the bones extending from the toes to the midfoot).
A neuroma is a thickening, or enlargement, of the nerve as a result of compression or irritation of the nerve. Compression and irritation creates swelling of the nerve, which can eventually lead to permanent nerve damage.

Flat Feet & Pronation

When the foot pronates, the arch lowers. Pronation is a normal foot movement and is needed for normal foot function in walking and running.

Sever’s Disease

Heel pain is less common in children than adults. Of those children who do get heel pain, by far the most common cause is an irritation to the growing area at the back of the heel bone (the Calcaneus) where the strong Achilles tendon attaches to it.
