Bunions
Bunions are not hereditary, but they do tend to run in families, usually because of a faulty foot structure. Foot injuries, neuromuscular problems...
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the corners or sides of the toenail dig into the skin, often causing infection. A common ailment, ingrown toenails can be painful. Ingrown toenails start out hard, swollen, and tender. Left untreated, they may become sore, red, and infected and the skin may start to grow over the ingrown toenail.

Plastic Surgeons

Hammertoe Surgery

Corns
Hammertoe is a deformity of the second, third, or fourth toes. In this condition, the toe is bent at the middle joint, causing it to resemble a hammer. Left untreated, hammertoes can become inflexible and require surgery. People with hammertoe may have corns or calluses on the top of the middle joint of the toe or on the tip of the toe. They may also feel pain in their toes or feet and have difficulty finding comfortable shoes.
Cyst
Calluses
Heel calluses, also called plantar calluses, develop when one metatarsal bone is longer or lower than the others and it hits the ground with more force than it is equipped to handle. As a result, the skin under this bone thickens. The resulting callus causes irritation and pain.
Eczema
Fungus
Onychocryptosis, is usually caused by trimming toenails too short, particularly on the sides of the big toes. They may also be caused by shoe pressure (from shoes that are too tight or short), injury, fungus infection, heredity, or poor foot structure.
Lesions
A common complaint from patient’s is: “Doctor I have this bump on my foot.” The majority of these bumps found on people’s feet are non-serious. Cancerous lesions found on the foot are quite rare; however it is always best to have these abnormalities examined and diagnosed by a foot specialist.
Psoriasis
Heel fissures is the term for cracking of the skin of the heels. This can be a painful condition that can cause bleeding. Open-backed sandals or shoes that allow more slippage around the heel while walking are often culprits that cause heel fissures. Skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis, can also lead to heel fissures. The skin thickens as a result of the friction. Wearing proper shoes and the use of deep skin moisturizers and lotions can reduce the dryness associated with the condition and allow the foot to heal.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
At Baronne Foot Center, our physicians stay up-to-date by attending continuing medical education seminars annually. We then use the latest clinically proven modalities both surgically and nonsurgically to improve our patient outcomes. These treatments include custom orthotics, custom bracing, laser treatment, injections (including stem cells), physical therapy, and splinting techniques.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy
The least common of the four conditions is heel pain due to nerve involvement. In this condition the patient may feel a burning or electrical type pain that radiates into the foot from the heel. Treatment for this condition usually involves orthotic therapy and steroid injection therapy. It is necessary to stop the abnormal function of the foot and relieve pressure on the nerve. If this does not help it may be necessary to perform surgery to decompress the nerve.

General Podiatry
Whatever your podiatry needs, our team at Baronne Foot Center will work to help you eliminate your foot pain and ankle pain and restore your mobility.
Achilles Tendonitis
Another cause of heel pain is Achilles tendonitis. This condition is almost always an overuse condition. Repetitive action using the Achilles tendon puts too much stress on the tendon. This leads to micro-injuries in the tendon resulting in inflammation. In some cases patients have a bone spur where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone. The best forms of treatment for Achilles tendonitis are; immobilization in a walking boot or cast, physical therapy, orthotics, and anti-inflammatories. In some cases the tendon may be severely damaged and surgery may be necessary to repair the tendon and remove the spur.
Ankle Sprain
A podiatrist, also called a doctor podiatric medicine, is a medical specialist who provides diagnoses and treatments,both surgical and non surgical, of the foot and ankle. Some of the common problems treated are; bunions, heel pain, spurs, neuromas, ingrown toenails, hammertoes, warts, corns and calluses. A podiatrist also treats foot and ankle injuries such as sprains and fractures. Podiatrist attend undergraduate medical school training, and also attend graduate school where they receive a doctorate degree in podiatry. Podiatrist are required to take state and national exams as well as be licensed by the state in which they practice.
Bunions Problems
Metatarsophalangeal joint ). Bunions form when the toe moves out of place. The enlargement and its protuberance cause friction and pressure as they rub against footwear. Over time, the movement of the big toe angles in toward the other toes, sometimes overlapping a third toe (known as
Calluses

Hammertoes

Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Avoid wearing tight shoes or socks. Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed if an infection is present. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications. In severe cases, if an acute infection occurs, surgical removal of part of the ingrown toenail may be needed.
Foot Injuries
Plantar Fasciitis
Heel pain is one of the most common conditions seen in my clinic. The most common condition is plantar fasciitis although conditions such as Achilles tendinitis, bursitis and nerve entrapment are also seen quite frequently. Diagnosing the specific condition depends on a careful examination and history of how and when the pain affects the patient. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation in the large band of tissue (plantar fascia) that extends from the heel bone to the ball of the foot and into the toes. Patients suffering from this condition may experience pain in the bottom of the heel and in many cases extending into the arch of the foot. This condition is usually caused by mechanical stresses in the foot. The majority of patients experience most of the pain when getting up from a rest. Treatments for plantar fasciitis usually involve mild stretching exercises, rest, shoe gear modifications, orthotic devices, splints and injection therapy. While most patients respond very well to these conservative measures some patients do not and require surgery to correct the problem.
