The majority of people will endure foot pain at some point in their lives. There are many different types of foot pain, and many ailments may be caused by wearing shoes that do not fit correctly. These conditions may include bunions, which may be a result of wearing shoes that may not have adequate room for the toes to move freely in. Additionally, ingrown toenails may develop if the nails are not trimmed properly or are cut too short. Heel pain may be indicative of plantar fasciitis, and may be a result of inflammation and irritation that has occurred to the plantar fascia. Many patients may develop corns, and this may be the body’s natural defense against possibly preventing a blister from forming. If you are experiencing any type of foot pain, it is advised to seek the counsel of a podiatrist who can properly diagnosis and treat foot conditions.
