👣 Condition Spotlight: Ingrown Toenails
What is it?
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, often causing pain, swelling, or infection.

Symptoms:
✔️ Redness and swelling along the nail edge
✔️ Pain when pressure is applied
✔️ Drainage or pus (if infected)

Causes:
– Improper nail trimming (too curved or too short)
– Tight shoes or trauma
– Genetics (naturally curved nails)

How we treat it:
✅ Safe trimming or partial nail removal
✅ Antiseptic care for infection
✅ Education to prevent recurrence
✅ Permanent correction (if chronic)

🦶 Pro Tip: Never dig out an ingrown nail yourself — it often makes it worse. We’ve got safer solutions.

What is a bunion?
A bunion (also called hallux valgus) is a bony bump that forms at the base of your big toe. Over time, the toe angles inward toward the second toe, causing misalignment, pain, and joint changes.

Common Symptoms:
✔️ A visible bump at the base of the big toe
✔️ Redness, swelling, or tenderness
✔️ Pain while walking or wearing shoes
✔️ Stiffness in the toe joint
✔️ Corns or calluses from rubbing toes

What causes bunions?
– Genetics (they often run in families)
– Wearing tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes
– Foot structure issues (like flat feet)
– Arthritis or joint instability
– Prolonged standing or walking

How are they treated?
✅ Custom orthotics to offload pressure and slow progression
✅ Footwear changes (wide toe boxes, low heels, supportive soles)
✅ Padding to reduce friction and pain
✅ Toe alignment supports or splints
✅ Referral for surgical consultation (in severe or worsening cases)

🦶 Pro Tip: Bunions don’t go away — but early care can prevent them from getting worse.

🦶 Feeling tightness, swelling, or pain in the back of your heel? Don’t ignore it — let’s get to the root of it before it snaps back. Book an appointment today!
