About the Foot: Foot Ailments
Calluses and Corns
Underlying bone problems can cause excessive irritation. Where shoes repeatedly rub, dead skin cells pile up, creating calluses on the bottom of the foot and corns on the toes.
Hammertoes
Produced by a muscle imbalance which causes the end joints of one or two (or more) smaller toes to bend down, while the closer joints bend up. Another cause may be Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome.
Bunions
Painful when the bursa sac becomes inflamed from irritation caused by spreading of the fore foot, pronation, supination or imbalance.
Plantar Neuroma
A nerve growth that often accompanies metatarsalgia. It develops when the nerve between two metatarsalgia heads are pinched and bruised. Symptom: a burning numbness or electric shock sensation in the ball of the foot caused by tight shoes, repeated impacts or jolts to the forefoot or by a dropped metatarsal arch.
Heel Pain
A chronic inflammation of the plantar fascia, a ligament like structure that passes from the heel to forefoot. The inflammation is caused by the fascia partially pulling away from the heel. A bony spur-which may or may not cause pain- can also develop here, caused by excessive heel rotation, excessive heel pounding, longitudinal arch weakness, and/or stretched plantar muscles.
