Achilles Tendon Injury

The Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous band that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. Injuries can range from mild inflammation to complete rupture. Common causes include overuse, sudden increases in activity, or direct trauma. Treatment options vary based on severity, from conservative management to surgical repair.

Heel Pain/Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. It's characterized by intense heel pain, particularly with first steps in the morning. Treatment includes stretching exercises, proper footwear, and in some cases, specialized interventions.

Ankle & Foot Arthritis

Arthritis in the foot and ankle can cause joint pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. Various types include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis. Treatment approaches range from conservative management to surgical intervention based on severity.

Ankle Sprain & Instability(Sports injuries)

Ankle sprains occur when ligaments are stretched or torn, leading to instability. This can be acute from a single injury or chronic from repeated sprains. Treatment focuses on reducing swelling, restoring stability, and preventing future injuries through proper rehabilitation.

Flat feet

Flat feet occur when the arches of the feet are lowered or collapsed, causing the entire sole to contact the ground. This condition can be present from birth or develop over time. Treatment options include orthotic support, specific exercises, and in some cases, surgical correction.

Charcot Foot

Charcot foot is a serious condition that causes weakening of the bones in the foot, often affecting diabetic patients with nerve damage. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent severe deformity and potential amputation.

Metatarsalgia and Foot pathology

Metatarsalgia causes pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot. It's often caused by excessive pressure on the metatarsal bones. Treatment typically involves footwear modifications, orthotics, and activity modifications to reduce pressure on the affected area.

Hallux valgus & rigidus

Hallux valgus (bunion) is a deformity of the big toe joint, while hallux rigidus involves stiffening of this joint. Both conditions can cause pain and difficulty with footwear. Treatment ranges from conservative measures to surgical correction depending on severity.

Mallet & Hammer toe

These conditions involve abnormal bending of the toe joints, causing pain and difficulty with footwear. They can be caused by muscle imbalances, injury, or certain diseases. Treatment options include conservative measures and surgical correction when necessary.

Diabetic Foot Problems

Diabetes can lead to various foot complications including nerve damage, poor circulation, and increased risk of infections. Regular monitoring, proper foot care, and early intervention are crucial for preventing serious complications.

Cavus feet

Cavus foot is characterized by an unusually high arch that remains high even when bearing weight. This condition can lead to instability and increased pressure on certain parts of the foot. Management includes specialized footwear, orthotics, and sometimes surgical intervention.

Foot & Ankle Fractures

Fractures can occur in any bone of the foot or ankle due to trauma or stress. Treatment depends on the location and severity of the fracture, ranging from immobilization to surgical fixation for proper healing and alignment.

Pump Bump syndrome (Haglund's Disease)

Haglund's deformity, also known as "pump bump," is a bony enlargement on the back of the heel that often leads to bursitis. It's commonly caused by pressure from shoes. Treatment options include shoe modifications, anti-inflammatory measures, and in some cases, surgical correction.
