🔦 Foot Condition Spotlight: Haglund’s Deformity

What is it?
Haglund’s Deformity is a bony enlargement on the back of the heel, often irritated by shoes that are stiff or tight. It’s sometimes called a “pump bump” due to its common appearance in people who wear high heels or rigid shoes.

What You Might Notice:
đź‘  A visible bump at the back of the heel
🔥 Redness or swelling around the area
đź©´ Pain when wearing certain footwear

What Can Help:
Switching to shoes with soft backs, custom orthotics, heel lifts, or in more severe cases, surgery.

âś… Early treatment helps reduce inflammation and prevent the bump from worsening

What it is:
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in joints — most commonly affecting the big toe.

🧬 Family history
đź’Š Certain medications or medical conditions

Symptoms:

Sudden, severe joint pain (often overnight)

Red, hot, and swollen joint (especially the big toe)

Tenderness so extreme that even light pressure hurts

Treatment Options:
✔️ Medication (to reduce uric acid and inflammation)
✔️ Lifestyle and diet adjustments
✔️ Supportive foot care during flare-ups

Chiropodist’s Tip:
Big toe pain with redness and swelling? Don’t ignore it — gout is treatable, and we can help keep it from returning

While barefoot walking may help some people, it can worsen existing foot conditions (like flat feet or plantar fasciitis) and lead to injury — especially without proper surface support

🦶 Foot Condition Spotlight: Sesamoiditis
What it is:
Sesamoiditis is inflammation or irritation of the two small bones (sesamoids) beneath the big toe joint. These bones act like pulleys for tendons, aiding toe movement.

Causes:
👟 Overuse (running, jumping)
đź©° High-impact sports or tight footwear
⚖️ Foot structure abnormalities

Symptoms:

Pain under the ball of the foot, especially beneath the big toe

Swelling or bruising

Pain that worsens with activity

Treatment Options:
✔️ Padding or offloading orthotics
✔️ Footwear changes
✔️ Rest and activity modification
✔️ Icing and anti-inflammatory care

Chiropodist’s Tip:
If walking feels like there's a pebble under your toe, your sesamoids might need support!
