Ever felt pain on the inside of your ankle or arch? It might be Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD). This happens when the tendon supporting your arch becomes weak or damaged, making it harder to walk or stay active. You might notice swelling, flat feet, or pain that gets worse with activity. It's important to understand treatment options for a podiatrist and read trusted resources to understand it.

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a condition caused by changes in the tendon, impairing its ability to support the arch.

Why do ingrown toenails hurt so bad? The edge of your toenail grows into the surrounding skin. Ouch! This can cause redness, swelling, and intense pain. It hurts so much because the nail digs into sensitive skin, triggering inflammation and sometimes even an infection. Treatment may include carefully trimming the nail, prescribing medication for infections, or in some cases, a simple procedure to remove part of the nail. Contact us for an appointment.
