Managing Foot deformities
Foot deformities encompass a range of structural abnormalities that can affect the bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the foot. These conditions may develop due to a variety of factors, including genetics, biomechanical issues, injury, or underlying medical conditions. At DrFoot, we specialize in diagnosing and treating foot deformities, helping individuals regain comfort, mobility, and confidence in their feet.
Common Foot Deformities:
- Bunions (Hallux Valgus):
A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, causing it to deviate towards the other toes. Bunions often result from genetic predisposition, improper footwear, or biomechanical abnormalities. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, redness, and difficulty wearing shoes comfortably.
- Flat Feet (Pes Planus):
Flat feet is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, causing the entire sole of the foot to come into contact with the ground. Flat feet can be congenital or develop over time due to factors such as obesity, injury, or overuse. Symptoms may include foot pain, fatigue, and difficulty finding supportive footwear.
- High Arches (Pes Cavus):
High arches involve an exaggerated upward curve of the arch of the foot, resulting in excessive pressure on the ball and heel of the foot. This condition may be inherited or associated with neurological disorders. High arches can cause foot pain, instability, and an increased risk of certain injuries.
