Foot health is an often-overlooked aspect of overall wellbeing. However, the importance of proper foot care cannot be stressed enough, as our feet are the foundation of our daily lives. Foot pain and discomfort can significantly impact one's mobility, productivity, and overall quality of life. At Tread Well, we understand this and are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for common foot conditions. Our team of expert medical practitioners and experienced office staff work together to offer a truly unique patient experience. In this article, we will discuss some of the common foot conditions we treat and the services we provide to help you get back on your feet.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, becomes inflamed. This can cause a sharp, stabbing pain, especially when taking the first steps in the morning. At Tread Well, our team of experts works with you to develop a customized treatment plan, which may include physiotherapy, massage therapy, custom orthotics, or a combination of these therapies to alleviate pain and prevent further damage.
Bunions
Bunions are bony bumps that form at the base of the big toe, causing the toe to deviate towards the other toes. This can lead to significant pain and discomfort, and in some cases, can result in balance issues and difficulty walking. Our foot clinic offers a range of treatment options for bunions, including custom orthotics to redistribute pressure and alleviate pain, as well as recommendations for appropriate footwear to accommodate the bunion and prevent further progression.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. If left untreated, ingrown toenails can become infected and may require more invasive treatment. At Tread Well, we provide expert care for ingrown toenails, including conservative treatments like proper nail trimming techniques and soaking, as well as more advanced treatments like partial nail avulsion if necessary.
Fungal Toenails
Fungal toenail infections, also known as onychomycosis, are a common foot condition caused by various types of fungi. These infections can lead to thickened, discolored, and brittle nails, which can be both painful and unsightly. Our foot clinic offers effective treatment options for fungal toenails, including topical and oral antifungal medications, as well as recommendations for proper foot hygiene to prevent future infections.
Diabetic Foot Care
Individuals with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing foot complications due to poor circulation and nerve damage. Our team at Tread Well is experienced in providing comprehensive diabetic foot care, including routine foot exams, wound care, and custom orthotics to reduce pressure points and prevent ulcers. We also provide education on proper foot care, footwear, and early detection of potential issues to help individuals with diabetes maintain optimal foot health.
Custom Orthotics
Many foot conditions can be alleviated or prevented with the use of custom orthotics. At Tread Well, we offer a range of custom orthotics options, including sport-specific orthotics designed to support and protect your feet during physical activities. Our team works with you to assess your individual needs and create a custom orthotic solution tailored to your lifestyle.
Orthopedic Footwear
Proper footwear plays a critical role in maintaining foot health, particularly for individuals with existing foot conditions. Our foot clinic offers a wide selection of orthopedic footwear designed to provide the support, cushioning, and stability necessary to promote optimal foot health. Our knowledgeable staff can help you find the perfect pair to suit your individual needs and preferences.
