Foot Pain, Foot Surgery & Bunion Surgery News & Updates

More and more people are experiencing foot pain, which means more patients are looking for relief and treatment fast. Foot pain can be tolerable, or it can hinder your quality of life and most of the activities you do. It can even impact your career. There are many types of foot pain that people suffer from, but these are the most common. 

Bunions form on the side of the foot, below the big toe joint. A bunion can cause your big toe to push against the next tie, forcing your big toe’s joint to get bigger and stick out. Bunions can cause a bulging bump, swelling, redness, corns or calluses, or intermittent pain. Bunion removal can correct this foot problem. 

This is a common type of heel pain that can result in a stabbing pain that usually occurs first thing in the morning when you start walking around. Patients who have plantar fasciitis feel pain in the bottom of their feet near the heels. It can be triggered by standing too long, rising from sitting, or after exercise. 

Patients experience pain on the top of the foot with tendonitis. It involves the inflammation of the extensor tendons, which is why pain is felt along the top of the foot and not the bottom. Tendonitis is common in runners. 

Arthritis occurs in feet and ankles. It can cause pain and stiffness in your feet, making it difficult to walk and remain active. Although there is no cure for arthritis, including all 100+ forms of it, there are many treatment options.
