Cold Weather Foot Care
We may be getting used to cold and wet weather, and while we bundle up against the elements, we also need to make sure to protect our feet.
Ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis): a condition where the corner of the nail goes into the skin. When there is any sign of pain or redness around the corners of the toenails, seek immediate medical attention for proper ingrown nail care and treatment. Do not wait for your toe to get infected!
Plantar fasciitis: a condition where there is inflammation at the insertion of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a ligament on the bottom of the foot that supports the arch of the foot. Symptoms include a sharp pain around the heel usually more severe in the morning with your first steps. Have your heel pain expertly treated at Parkway Podiatry.
Bunions are caused by a genetic predisposition in which the big toe shifts inward and causes a malalignment of the joint. Having a bunion is a progressive deformity and will get worse over time. Come into Parkway Podiatry to have a surgical consultation about having a bunion permanently fixed.
