Chronic Ankle Pain: When to Consider a Clinical Evaluation

For athletes and active individuals, ankle injuries can often feel like an inevitable part of the game. While many sprains recover with rest, persistent or recurring pain after training may indicate underlying issues, such as ligament damage, tendon strain, or cartilage wear.

If discomfort continues to affect your movement on or off the track, it may be helpful to have the ankle assessed early. Understanding the cause can help in planning the right next steps.

Taking the First Step Towards Healthier Feet

Our feet carry us through daily life, yet they are often overlooked until pain or changes appear. Conditions such as bunions, flat feet, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, or ankle sprains can affect the way we move and enjoy our activities.

Paying attention to early signs—such as persistent discomfort, swelling, or changes in foot shape—can help prevent problems from worsening. Simple steps such as choosing proper footwear, staying active, and seeking timely advice can go a long way in supporting healthy feet.

How Bunions Affect the Shape and Function of the Foot

Bunions are more than just a change in appearance. Over time, the big toe may lean inward, which can affect the way weight is distributed across the foot. This can lead to discomfort, changes in walking patterns, and difficulty finding footwear that fits well.

If you notice changes in the shape of your foot or experience pain near the big toe joint, it may be helpful to have it checked early.

Do Flat Feet in Kids Always Need Treatment?

Flat feet are common in young children and often improve naturally as they grow. In many cases, no treatment is needed if there’s no pain or difficulty walking. However, if your child experiences discomfort, frequent tripping, or problems with balance, it may be worth getting an assessment.

Every child’s foot development is different, and understanding what’s normal can help parents make informed decisions.

For personalised advice on children’s foot health, you can speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin at Foot & Ankle Doctor.

Reclaim Your Step: Is Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery Right for You?

Bunions can make walking or finding comfortable footwear difficult, and for some, this can affect daily activities. While many people manage bunions with non-surgical options such as footwear changes or supportive devices, minimally invasive bunion surgery may be considered when discomfort persists or the bunion worsens over time.

This approach typically involves smaller incisions compared to traditional methods, which may mean less disruption to surrounding tissues. However, whether this is suitable for you depends on the severity of the bunion and your individual needs.

For personalised advice on bunion management and treatment options, you can speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin at Foot & Ankle Doctor.

What Is an ACL Injury and How Does It Happen?

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important ligament in the knee that helps keep it stable during movement. Injuries to the ACL often happen during activities that involve sudden stops, quick changes in direction, or direct impact — common in sports like football, basketball, and running.

Some signs of an ACL injury may include a “popping” sound at the time of injury, swelling, pain, and difficulty putting weight on the affected leg. Early assessment can help determine the extent of the injury and the best way to manage it.

Is It Time to Consider Surgery for Your Bunion?

Bunions develop gradually and can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty wearing certain shoes. While many people manage bunions with lifestyle changes and non-surgical options, surgery may be considered in some situations.

You might think about discussing surgical options if:
• You experience persistent pain despite using supportive footwear or other measures.
• Walking or daily activities become increasingly uncomfortable.
• The bunion is progressively worsening or affecting your foot alignment.

Treatment isn’t the same for everyone. In many cases, simple changes — such as footwear adjustments, activity modifications, or using supportive devices — can help manage symptoms effectively. For others, surgery may be an option after careful evaluation.

For advice tailored to your needs, you can speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin at Foot & Ankle Doctor.

When Ligaments Don’t Heal Fully: What Are the Options?

Ligaments support the stability of your joints, including those in the foot and ankle. After an injury, most ligaments heal with time and care, but sometimes recovery may be incomplete. This can lead to ongoing pain, swelling, or instability during daily activities or exercise.

In such cases, understanding the available management options can help. Treatment may involve lifestyle adjustments, physiotherapy, supportive devices, or other personalised approaches based on your condition.

Understanding How Achilles Tendon Injuries Happen

The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel and plays an important role in walking, running, and jumping. Injuries to this tendon can happen gradually or suddenly, especially during activities like sports, running, or even intense exercise.

Common causes include overuse, sudden increases in activity, wearing unsuitable footwear, or reduced flexibility in the calf muscles. Recognising early signs such as pain, stiffness, or swelling around the back of the heel can help manage the condition and prevent further injury.

For personalised advice on Achilles tendon injuries and foot health, you can speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin at Foot & Ankle Doctor.

Recurrent Foot Pain During Exercise? Know What to Watch For

Experiencing foot pain that keeps coming back during exercise can be frustrating. While it’s common to feel some discomfort after an intense workout, persistent pain may indicate issues such as overuse injuries, improper footwear, or underlying foot conditions.

Ignoring recurring pain can make the problem worse. Paying attention to early signs can help you manage discomfort and stay active safely.

Common Myths About Bunions and Their Causes

Bunions are a common foot condition, but there are many misconceptions about what causes them. Here are a few myths we often hear:

🔹 Myth 1: “Bunions only happen if you wear high heels.”
While footwear can worsen bunions, genetics and the natural shape of your feet often play a bigger role.
🔹 Myth 2: “Only older adults get bunions.”
Bunions can develop at any age, especially if you have a family history or certain foot structures.
🔹 Myth 3: “Bunions will go away on their own.”

Bunions don’t disappear without proper care. Early assessment can help manage discomfort and prevent it from getting worse.

If you have concerns about bunions or foot discomfort, you can speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin at Foot & Ankle Doctor for personalised advice.

Understanding Common Causes of Knee Pain in Adults

Knee pain can appear gradually or strike suddenly—even during simple movements like walking or climbing stairs. In adults, this discomfort may be linked to wear and tear, past injuries, ligament strain, or early signs of joint issues.

If the pain is recurring, affects your movement, or is accompanied by swelling or stiffness, it may be worth seeking a medical opinion.

At Foot & Ankle Doctor, Dr Tan Ken Jin—who has a subspecialty interest in Sports injuries and lower limb conditions—can assess and guide you on the next steps based on your needs.
