Metatarsalgia, or pain in the ball of the foot, is most often caused by increased pressure on the forefoot, leading to inflammation and irritation. Common causes include high-impact activities like running and jumping, improper or high-heeled footwear, being overweight or obese, and foot conditions like arthritis, bunions, stress fractures, or Morton's neuroma. Other factors include age-related loss of the protective fat pad, tight calf muscles, and anatomical foot deformities.

What triggers bunionettes?

A bunionette, also known as a tailor's bunion, is a painful bony bump on the outside of the foot, at the base of the little (pinky) toe. It's a similar condition to a standard bunion, which forms on the big toe, but it occurs at the fifth metatarsal head and can cause pain, pressure, and a widening of the forefoot due to the little toe moving inward and the fifth metatarsal bone moving outward.

Flat foot is also known as fallen arches. People with flat foot have either no arch or have a very low arch.

When a person stands, the arches raise off the ground slightly. The purpose of the arches is to provide a spring to the step and help to distribute body weight across the feet and legs.

For someone with Flat Foot, their ankles may roll inwards when they are standing or walking. This is called overpronation. It causes fatigue, ankle sprains, shin splints, knee pain and even lower back pains because of the misalignment from the feet to the lower back.

🦶 Do I Really Need a Podiatrist for Custom Insoles?

Struggling with heel pain, flat feet, or discomfort from long hours of standing? You might be wondering if podiatrist custom insoles are necessary.

Diabetic foot care involves daily inspection, proper hygiene, wearing protective footwear, and seeking timely medical help for wounds or infections. Because diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation, reducing sensation and slowing healing, it's crucial to be vigilant about your foot health to prevent serious complications like infections.

Foot scans are important because they provide crucial information for personalized treatments and interventions related to foot and overall body health by analysing foot structure, pressure distribution, and gait.

Bone growth in the ankle typically refers to the development of bone spurs (osteophytes), which are smooth, bony growths that occur in response to stress, injury, or osteoarthritis within the ankle joint. These abnormal bone growths, which can form on the tibia, talus, or around the Achilles tendon, often cause pain and inflammation when they impinge on soft tissues or restrict movement.

Pronation and supination are movements of the foot that occur during walking and running. Pronation is the inward rolling of the foot, while supination is the outward rolling. Both are natural parts of the gait cycle, but excessive pronation (overpronation) or supination (underpronation) can lead to injuries.
