Types of Foot Pain

Monday, 20 July 2020 00:00

Each foot consists of twenty six bones, numerous ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Everyday wear and tear or an injury can compromise general foot function, and uncomfortable foot conditions may occur. A bunion is a bony formation that develops on the side of the big toe, and can happen from wearing shoes that do not fit correctly. Blisters can occur on the back of the heel or on the bottom of the feet, and this is generally a result of increased friction. A corn is a hardened area that can gradually develop on top of the toes or between them, and can cause severe pain and discomfort. If you have these or other conditions that can lead to chronic foot pain, it is strongly advised that you are under the care of a podiatrist who can guide you toward proper treatment techniques.
