Title: Painful Foot Conditions

Painful Foot Conditions
2
Heel Pain
  • Heel pain is a common foot problem and has a
    number of possible causes. The most common cause
    is plantar fasciitis, which is inflammation where
    the plantar fascia attaches to the heel bone. 
  • Other frequent causes of heel pain include soft
    tissue inflammation, such as bursitis or a
    pinched nerve. 

3
Ingrown Toenails
  • An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of a
    toenail grows or is pressed into the skin edge.
  • It usually occurs at the edge of the big toenail
    as a result of shoe pressure.

4
Achilles Tendinosis
  • Achilles tendinosis is a condition of chronic
    irritation and damage to the Achilles tendon.
    This is a different condition from tendonitis, a
    problem that is characterized by inflammation of
    the tendon.

5
Flat Feet
  • Flat feet or flat foot is often a disorder with a
    diverse range of symptoms and varying degrees of
    deformity and disability.
  • All cases of flat feet or flat foot are a result
    of a collapse of the arch of the foot causing
    your entire foot to lay flat when standing.

6
Bunions
  • A bunion is a large bump on the side of foot,
    just below the big toe joint.
  • It's the result of the big toe shifting out of
    position over time and pressing against the
    second toe, which results in abnormal stress on
    the big toe joint and surrounding ligaments.

7
 Corns and Calluses
  • Calluses are thickened areas of skin over parts
    of the feet where excessive amounts of pressure
    or friction occur.
  • Calluses at the heel can become painful if they
    fissure, or split open.
  • Corns occur on the toes where they rub against
    the shoe.

8
Arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis is the breakdown of cartilage
    within a joint from physical wear-and-tear. The
    joint damage manifests as decreased joint space,
    worn cartilage, and bone spurs surrounding the
    joint.
