Common Foot Conditions Treated by Podiatrists and Chiropodists: From Corns to Neuromas

Chiropodists and podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating various foot conditions, offering relief and improving mobility for countless individuals. Among the common conditions they address, corns stand out as painful, thickened areas of skin caused by friction or pressure, often found on toes or between them. Likewise, calluses, another frequent woe, develop from repeated rubbing, forming toughened patches on the feet.

Ingrown toenails represent a persistent discomfort, occurring when the nail curves and grows into the skin, leading to inflammation and potential infection. Meanwhile, bunions, characterized by a bony bump at the base of the big toe, can cause significant discomfort and hinder movement.

Chiropodists and podiatrists assist patients with plantar fasciitis, a condition resulting from inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes, often manifesting as stabbing pain in the heel. Neuromas, or pinched nerves, cause tingling or numbness in the toes due to pressure or injury.
