Achilles Tendinopathy: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Achilles tendinopathy is a painful condition affecting the Achilles tendon — the large tendon connecting your calf muscles to your heel. It is particularly common in runners and active people. Exercise-based rehabilitation is the cornerstone of treatment, and most people recover well with a structured programme.
Bunions (Hallux Valgus): Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
A bunion is a bony bump at the base of the big toe caused by the toe gradually drifting toward the other toes. Bunions are common and progressive. While they cannot be reversed without surgery, the right footwear, orthotics, and exercises can significantly reduce pain and slow progression.
Ingrown Toenails: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. The big toe is most commonly affected. Treatment ranges from simple home care to a minor surgical procedure, depending on severity.
Plantar Fasciitis: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, affecting roughly 1 in 10 people at some point in their life. It involves irritation of the thick band of tissue running along the base of your foot, and while it can be stubborn, the large majority of cases resolve with the right treatment.
Plantar Warts (Verrucae): Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Plantar warts are small, rough growths on the sole of the foot caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are very common, particularly in children and teenagers. Many resolve on their own over time, but stubborn or painful warts benefit from professional treatment.
