Disorders and solutionsCommon Foot Problems and Solutions
1. Bunions: Thickening, bone deformities and/or inflammation of tissues around the big toe joint, sometimes accompanied by a crooked big toe.
Solutions: Pads and cushions can protect the sensitive bunion area or separate toes that rub. Wider shoes reduce shoe pressure and friction. Arch supports and lower heels ease foot strain that can contribute to bunions.
2. Corns: Hardened spots of thickened skin on toes that protect skin and underlying bones from excess pressure and friction.
Solutions: Pads, cushions, filing, change shoes that rub, add arch support to footwear to redistribute forces and alter foot function.
3. Heel Pain: Most often the result of a strain of the plantar fascia ligament on the bottom of the foot, hence the medical term plantar fasciitis.
Solutions: Arch supports, heel cushions, stretching, night splints, massage and injections to reduce inflammation.
4. Pump bump: rubbing of the heel against the insides of shoes causes pain and blisters.
Solutions: Shoe pads, heel cushions.
5. Calluses: Hardened areas of skin that thicken to protect skin and underlying bones from excessive pressure, friction.
Solutions: Pads, cushions, filing, change of shoes that rub, add arch support or ball-of-foot pads for shoes to redistribute forces and alter foot function. Moisturizing creams or exfoliating scrubs.
6. Warts: Round, colored, textured skin spots caused by a virus. Generally harmless, but sometimes sensitive to pressure.
Solutions: Pads, cushions, wart removers, professional treatment.

7. Hammer Toes: Flexible or rigid curled-up toes can cause toe-tip and toe-top corns, ball-of-foot pain.
Solutions: Pads, cushions, caps that straighten, support or protect toe tips and tops. Change to roomier shoes, add arch supports or ball-of-foot pads to footwear to redistribute forces and alter foot function.
8. Crooked toes: Flexible or rigidly crooked toes can cause irritation and pain.
Solutions: Pads, cushions, caps, separators can help align flexible toes. Change to roomier shoes.
9. Neuroma: Inflammation or benign growth of a nerve, most commonly at the base of the third or fourth toes.
Solutions: Arch supports, ball-of-foot pads for footwear to redistribute forces and alter foot function.
10. Ball-of-foot pain: Often the result of irritation to the foot bones or metatarsals. As we age, the natural ‘fat pad’ that protects our feet grows thinner, making us increasingly susceptible to this condition.
Solutions: Pads, cushions that provide extra protection or support. Add arch supports or ball-of-foot pads to footwear to redistribute forces and alter foot function.
11. Diabetes: Diabetes can cause neuropathy – a loss of feeling in the feet – making it hard to notice small sores. Diabetes can prevent small foot sores from healing. Foot sores that don’t heal are called ‘ulcers’. Ulcers that don’t heal can lead to foot and leg amputations.
Solutions: if you have diabetes, you must take extra good care of your feet. And if you know or love someone with diabetes, you’ll do them a great favor by volunteering to help. Quite often, people with diabetes are unable to perform some of these steps.

Inspect feet daily. Look for early signs of skin breakdown, including blisters, corns, calluses, reddened spots or areas.
Wash feet every day and dry them thoroughly, especially between toes.
See a Podiatrist regularly for a professional foot inspection – at least once a year, twice or more if you have problems. Free foot screenings are widely available.
Make sure shoes fit properly – if they are too small, too short, or too narrow they can cause pressure spots.
Don’t go barefoot. You can damage your feet easily.
Take care of toenails. Trim them carefully and properly. Get help if you can’t do this yourself.
Don’t wear socks that restrict circulation, bunch, crease or cause sore spots.
Don’t self-treat foot problems with anything elastic or acidic.
Control your blood sugar. Don’t smoke. Exercise regularly.
