Calluses tell a story. The skin builds up to protect the bone from coming through the skin. As foot specialists, we investigate to find out WHY the callus is building up. Addressing the WHY, is golden standard health care. Just don’t remove it….adress the WHY.
🦶this specific callus is caused by people who pronate to the extent that their weight is on that side section of the toe instead of on the fatty tissue under the toe
🦶this adds too much medial pressure to the big toe joint often causing a bunion and arthritis
🦶correct the way you walk and this callus will reduce and/or go away as well as help arthritic pain
Book in to see our pedorthist to change the way you walk and our foot care RN to remove the callus properly!
