A bunion is commonly known as a bump on the side of the big toe, but these pain-causing bumps can lead to greater problems. Bunions are a progressive disorder and can get worse if left untreated.
Diabetic Nail Care
It is important to remember that elongated nails apply pressure to the skin which can create wounds that can become isolated infections or ulcerations. Proper nail care also includes treating any underlying fungus as well.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a condition that a lot of people experience at some point in their lives. It is known to be one of the most common sources of heel pain that can lead to discomfort and even difficulty in walking.
Tendinitis
Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon – a thick, flexible cord of tissue that attaches muscle to bone. Tendons help muscles move bones.
Wound care/Ulcers
Having diabetes does not mean you will inevitably develop a sore or foot ulcer. Understanding how these types of wounds occur and how to properly care for your feet can help you prevent, detect, and treat these wounds before they progress to something worse.
Hammer Toe
One of the most common toe deformities are caused by bending of the toe at the joint forcing them to be contracted. This usually causes irritation while walking and when wearing shoes.
