Ankle Rheumatoid Arthritis
Arthritis is inflammation in a joint as a result of cartilage degeneration causing joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and restricted movement.
Foot and Ankle Arthritis
Arthritis is the inflammation of joints as a result of degeneration of the smooth cartilage that lines the ends of bones in a joint.
Ankle Sprain
A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments. Ligaments connect adjacent bones and provide stability to a joint.
Heel Spurs
The heel is made up of the calcaneus bone and supported by a network of muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissues, which together support the weight of the body and stress during movement.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis refers to the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that is present at the bottom of the foot.
Foot Fracture
Trauma and repeated stress can cause fractures in the foot. Extreme force is required to fracture the bones in the hindfoot.
Ankle Pain
Ankle pain refers to any form of pain or discomfort affecting the ankle joint. Your ankles are more prone to injury and pain since they bear the weight of your entire body.
Bunion
A bunion, also known as hallux valgus, is a bony protuberance that appears on the outer surface of the big toe when it angles toward the adjacent toe.
Athlete's Foot
Athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a fungal infection that forms on the skin of the foot.
Fungal Problems (Foot)
Fungal infections are common in people with sweaty feet and are often found between the toes, as various fungal pathogens inhabit and breed in the unattended, moist regions of the feet.
Flatfoot
Flatfoot, also known as “fallen arches” or Pes planus, is a deformity in children’s feet where the arch that runs along the sole of the foot collapses to the ground or is not formed at all.
Hammertoe
A hammertoe is a deformity of a lesser toe (second through fifth toes), where the toe is bent upward at the toe’s middle joint, resembling a hammer.
Foot Spasms
Foot spasms, also known as foot cramps, occur due to the involuntary contraction of the foot muscles.
Clubfoot
Clubfoot is a common pediatric foot deformity. The feet twist inward and downward at the ankles in such a way that the ankle or side of the foot meets the ground while walking instead of the sole of the foot.
Plantar Fibromas
A plantar fibroma is a benign fibrous lump that may develop in the plantar fascia, the tissue under the foot that extends across the arch. It can develop in one or both feet.
Ingrown toenail
An ingrown toenail is a common and painful condition of the toe. It occurs when the side or corner of the nail grows inwards and penetrates the skin of the toe.
High Ankle Sprain
A high ankle sprain, also known as a syndesmotic sprain, is a specific type of ankle injury that affects the ligaments connecting the tibia and fibula bones in the lower leg.
Corns
A corn is a circular area of thickened skin developed because of continuous friction or pressure.
Diabetic Foot Conditions
Diabetes is a chronic condition that is characterized by high blood glucose (sugar) levels. Diabetic patients are at high risk for developing chronic wounds, especially in the feet.
Plantar Warts
Warts are harmless outgrowths on the skin caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. They grow on all body parts including face, fingers, feet, legs, hands, knees, inside your mouth, and on the genital and rectal areas.
Hammertoe Surgery
Hammertoe is a foot deformity in which one or more toes bend downward at the middle joint, often due to muscle imbalance, tight shoes, arthritis, or genetics.
Plantar Fascia Release
Plantar fascia release is a surgical procedure to treat moderate to severe plantar fasciitis, in which your surgeon releases or removes the diseased section of the plantar fascia tissue to relieve pain and inflammation in the foot.
Bunionectomy
A bunionectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a bunion. A bunion, also called a hallux valgus, is an enlargement of bone or soft tissues around the joint at the base of the big toe that results in the formation of a bump.
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetic foot refers to a variety of foot problems that arise in individuals with diabetes due to prolonged high blood sugar levels.
