Common Foot Issues

Bunions

A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. It occurs when some of the bones in the front part of the foot moves out of place. This causes the tip of the big toe to get pulled toward the smaller toes and forces the joint at the base of the big toe to stick out.

corns & Calluses

Corns and calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin that develop when the skin tries to protect itself against friction and pressure. Usually corns and calluses develop on the feet and toes or hands and fingers.

Diabetes

Over time, diabetes may cause nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy) that can cause tingling, pain, and may make you lose feeling in your feet. When you lose feeling in your feet, you may not feel a pebble inside your sock or a blister on your foot, which can lead to cuts and sores.
