There are many foot conditions that require attention by a podiatrist to be correctly diagnosed and then treated appropriately so your feet are comfortable and allow you to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. A callus is thickened skin that develops from excessive pressure or friction on the bottom of side of your foot. Corns and calluses are skin that becomes thick and hardened. After you have scraped the callus until the white is gone, wash the area gently with soap and dry. Springtime is here!
They can also create more pressure on the feet by restricting the blood vessels and causing tenderness around the toes. This condition can be avoided by wearing the right shoes that can make your feet comfortable. Sometimes, bunions can lead to hammertoe which is a deformity of the joint positioning in the toes. There are presence of dead skin cells in the affected feet and this can lead to the development of corns and calluses. The most common places that are affected on the feet are the toes and sole. Most of the old people experience a condition called tarsal tunnel syndrome that is associated with deformity on the ankle and the foot. This condition can affect the nerves present in the feet leading to numbness, pain and tingling sensation. Calluses and corns are also the common foot problems among all age groups.
Although corns and calluses are common problems, certain people can have significant issues associated with them. There is no scientific evidence that reflexology is an effective alternative to traditional medical treatments for any medical condition. Calluses are specific areas of skin that have become hardened and firm and are often the direct result of excessive pressure from small shoes, repetitive motion exercises and improper walking technique. A reflexologist views calluses as an imbalance, caused by the body to protect itself. Because each unique zone on your hands and feet is said to correlate to a different organ, a callus indicates toxicity and corrosion in that corresponding part of your body. Corns are a cone-shaped piece of hardened skin that often forms on the toe joints. In reflexology, a bunion often represents a malfunction with respect to the spleen.
A full gait analysis and pressure analysis examination can be performed in the office which will aid in pinpointing the exact bone deformity that is causing the painful callus. Very tight or narrow shoes can also aid in the formation of corns and calluses due to the excessive pressure from the shoe gear. Non-medicated corn pads are also very helpful to place on the toes to help prevent re-currence of the lesions and to help prevent pain while in shoe gear. The higher the heel the greater the body column change.
Bunions , corns, and calluses can be protected with non medicated felt pads or cloth tape, they can also be treated with an ice pack to ease the pain. The most important tip is to wear the right shoes that form well to your foot and cause no discomfort. Your local drug store carries creams and liquids specialized for treating or easing the pain of these ailments! Symptoms: The most common symptom associated with Pigeontoes
is best followed up with supportive therapies to prevent a recurrence of your health problem. A bunion occurs when the big toe is angled inward toward the rest of the toes. Bunions are characterized by a large bump that protrudes out of the side of the foot. This bump is the joint of the big toe that is being pushed awkwardly out of position. While the exact cause of bunion formation is not completely understood, it seems to run in families.
