Ingrowing Toenails

Ingrown toenails develop when the nail's edges grow into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and potential infection. Common triggers include improper nail trimming, tight-fitting shoes, or nail trauma. Symptoms vary from mild discomfort to severe pain, particularly when pressure is applied to the affected toe. Infection can occur if bacteria invade the compromised skin, leading to pus and heightened pain.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

And why is your foot pain not getting better?

The bottom of your foot has a type of tissue called the plantar fascia. Sometimes this tissue can become injured by micro tears in its structure. It then gets very inflamed and the surrounding tissues are swollen, if not treated properly can take months and months to go away because of the repetitive stress on your heel from walking.

There can be many causes of Plantar Fasciitis including foot mechanics, increased exercises or something as simple as a change in footwear. The thing is people who don't have plantar fasciitis just don't get how painful or restrictive it can really be.

However the good news is that with the right treatment is can be resolved.

Although conservative treatments are often effective, surgery may become necessary. Your podiatrist will discuss this thoroughly during your appointment, collaborating with you to devise a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Individuals may experience symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and swelling in the back of the heel, particularly during physical activity or upon waking in the morning.
