Feet

Ease your oedema
Your feet and ankles look normal in the morning, but by the end of the day they're swollen and you can't wait to get your shoes off.

Pronation of the foot
Pronation and supination are terms that describe the natural and necessary movements of the feet. Both of these take place when you walk normally.

Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia is often referred to as a symptom rather than a disease. It presents as pain in the forefoot associated with increased stress over the metatarsal head region.

Ingrown toenails
Many people suffer from ingrown toenails and it is one of the conditions most frequently treated by podiatrists.

Corns and calluses
When there is excessive pressure or friction on the skin, calluses and corns form to protect the skin and the structures beneath it. Calluses on the feet can develop into corns.

Athlete's foot
Athlete's foot refers to a dermatophyte infection of the spaces between the toes, usually between the fourth and fifth toes.

Sever's disease
Sever's disease is a disorder caused by overuse or injury of growth plates in the calcaneus (the heel bone), commonly a result of repetitive exercise. The disorder is also called calcaneal apophysitis, the painful inflammation (swelling) of the heel growth plate. It was named in 1912 by J. W. Sever, MD, when he first described it in the New York Medical Journal as an overuse syndrome that occurs when a particular body part is injured from overexertion or excessive strain.

Plantar fasciitis - from Natural Standard
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition involving the degeneration, inflammation, and irritation of the plantar fascia in one or both feet. The plantar fascia is a thick tissue band in the bottom of the foot that connects the heel bone to the toe and forms the arch. The inflammation and degeneration may cause acute, stabbing pains in the heel. This pain is typically most noticeable with the first steps of the morning and may subside throughout the day. Pain may also occur after standing or being inactive for a long period of time.

Foot aches and pains during pregnancy
While morning sickness, fatigue, and back pain are regular complaints during pregnancy, foot problems are just as common, mostly during the last trimester.

Ankle fractures
Fracturing, straining or spraining an ankle is one of the most common foot injuries.

Bone spurs
A calcaneal spur (or heel spur) is a growth of calcium that resembles a spike or nail. It occurs where the tendons and ligaments attach to the heel bone, called the calcaneus.

Hammertoes
This condition usually affects the lesser toes. The toe looks bent upwards at the first joint, giving it the appearance of an upside down V when looked at from the side.

Fungal infections in the toenails
Fungal infections in the toenails are very common, difficult to treat and they often recur. They are also called ringworm of the nail.

Blisters
A blister is a small fluid-filled sac that forms between layers of the skin. They are often caused by the wearing of new, ill-fitting shoes.

Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the fascia on the sole of the foot.

Raynaud's disease
Raynaud's disease is a condition that causes the blood vessels in the fingers, toes, nose, and ears to become constricted (narrowed) in response to cold temperatures or stress.

Neuromas
Neuromas are enlarged, benign growths of nerves, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. They are caused by bones and other tissue rubbing against the nerves.
