Foot and Ankle Pain Care

Many people with chronic foot and ankle pain mistakenly assume the pain is a natural result of daily activities. Though this is true for temporary soreness, it is not true for persistent foot and ankle pain. If your feet, ankles, and lower leg won’t stop aching no matter the amount of rest you get, then it might be time to visit a foot pain physician. Here are some common conditions we handle at Podiatry Centers of Maryland:

• Bunions: A painful lump on the joint at the base of the big toe. Bunions push toes toward each other, causing severe pain and making wearing shoes difficult if untreated.
• Ingrown Toenails: This happens when a toenail grows into the skin of the toe, causing inflammation, infection, and pain.
• Hammertoe: An abnormal bend in the middle joint of a toe.
• Neuroma: Also referred to as a “pinched nerve,” neuroma is the swelling or thickening of the nerves that lead to the toes.
• Plantar Fasciitis: An inflammation of the fibrous tissue along the bottom of your foot.

This is not an extensive list of our services. We also treat foot and ankle trauma injuries as well as diseases and conditions such as corns and calluses, vascular disease, eczema, athlete’s foot, and fungal infections.
