PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of fibrous connective tissue (fascia) running along the bottom (plantar surface) of the foot. It causes soreness or tenderness of the sole of the foot under the heel, which sometimes extends into the medial arch. It can affect everyone, whatever your age, but those more commonly affected include people in middle, overweight or stand for long periods of time and athletes. This heel pain is generally the result of faulty biomechanics that place too much stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues that attach to it, injury, or a bruise incurred while walking, running, or jumping on hard surfaces, wearing poorly constructed footwear or being overweight.

There is strong scientific evidence of reliable outcomes demonstrating the effectiveness of conservative treatment of plantar fasciitis: you have to act quickly, orthotics, address footwear indoors and outdoors, take or apply anti-inflammatories, extracorporeal shockwave or radial soundwave therapy, stretch the calf muscles. Patients with acute plantar fasciitis generally respond to treatment more rapidly and more predictably than patients with chronic plantar fasciitis.

A podiatrist can diagnose plantar fasciitis through a thorough physical examination and gait analysis and rule out other injuries, recommend treatments to speed up your recovery like strengthening exercises, strapping, insoles, functional orthotic device to correct biomechanical imbalance or a combination of these and advise a proper care routine.

Non-infective nail conditions

About 50% of nail conditions result from various causes, including nail injuries, psoriasis, lichen planus, and occasionally tumours (cancerous and noncancerous)

Lichen planus affects the nails in up to 10% of cases. Some people may have only mild symptoms such as discoloration of the nail beds, thinning of the nails, and formation of nail ridges. Other people may completely lose their nails

Nail psoriasis can manifest clinically as a wide variety of nail changes, like nail discoloration, subungual hyperkeratosis, pitting and onycholysis. Patients with psoriatic nails have impaired quality of life due to the appearance of nails, and significant morbidity and functional impairments may arise in large cases.

Onycholysis is partial separation of the nail plate from the nail bed or complete nail plate loss. It can result from an injury, overzealous nail cleaning, Psoriasis and thyrotoxicosis, Frequent exposure to water and cleaning agents

Nail neoplasms include benign and malignant tumours that have different signs and symptoms causing deformities and affecting nail growth. In general, malignant tumours deform the adjacent tissue while benign tumours preserve tissue architecture; however, it should not be considered a rule. Malignant tumours are the most important lesions of the nail apparatus for their impact on the prognosis. A biopsy is the only confirmatory diagnostic means.
