Long standing bunions can become problematic in a number of ways. Padding and accommodative shoes can only go so far! Fixing a bunion can be accomplished through surgical means, and the type of procedure often depends on the severity of the deformity. Above is an example of a more severe bunion that has been corrected with a variety of hardware that’s necessary to ensure the most optimal outcome.

It is a common condition, and it can be painful, causing swelling, redness, and sometimes infection. It usually affects the big toe, either on one or both sides of the toe.

What is a bunion?
Medically known as hallux valgus, a bunion is a bony and painful bump that forms on the inner big toe joint. Two main joints form the big toe, the larger one, known as the metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP), begins in the first longer bone in the foot and joins with the first bone of the toe (the phalanx).

Proper form, strength training, and the right shoes can prevent injury.
Foot Massage
Why: Your plantar fascia, a band of tissue along the bottom of the foot, guides the foot from landing through to toe-off when you run. Limited mobility can affect this motion and lead to problems all the way up to the hip.
How: Sit down and prop one ankle on top of your knee. Using your thumbs, apply pressure to the arch of your bare foot, prodding for tender areas. Press firmly on any sore, tight spots, then flex and extend the toes to release the tissue. Do for three minutes daily until the soreness is gone.

You know that sudden sharp pain that hits when you start walking after sitting at your desk all day at work? Or the spurts of tightness and discomfort you feel in your heels after running or exercising? Unless you have injured your foot, the reason is usually a condition called plantar fasciitis.

Experiencing ankle pain when running is common, but it's not always enough to stop a determined runner in their tracks.
Why did you develop pain? What deficits in mobility or strength led to the overuse injury? For each person it can be different, but usually “overuse” injuries are the result of too much too soon, or dormant weakness that only comes out when the joint is put through more stress.

Have you noticed changes in the appearance of your toenails lately? If you have, you might want to get them checked out.
Toenails, like any other part of the body should be routinely checked by your doctor. Discoloration or physical abnormalities of the toenails can indicate a lot about your health and can help provide insight into any medical conditions you already have, or ones not yet diagnosed. Basically, your nails are like mirrors of the inside of your body and can reflect problems in vital organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, as well as other skin conditions, and even cancer.

Blisters are one of the most common foot problems and happen to almost everyone. At worst, they can be annoying and sometimes get in the way of daily activities like walking, running, and exercising. Blisters get bigger when fluid builds between the torn skin and your toe, which can be painful when they burst.
How to help prevent blisters:
• Wear shoes that can be easily put on. Not too tight, or loose. Even loose-fitting shoes can cause blisters as the foot slides around in the shoe, creating repeated friction against the skin.
• Wear foot pads, also called blister cushions, if you know you will be wearing shoes that may get uncomfortable. Ladies are sure to know this problem too well with regards to wearing heels!
• Whether you are exercising or commuting to work, keep your socks and feet dry. Wetness or even dampness irritates the skin which makes it softer, and more prone to blister.

Swollen Feet?

Ankle Sprains
1 in 20 high school student athletes will sprain their ankle in just one school season. But you don’t have to play sports to be at risk. Missing a step while running down the stairs, or accidentally stepping into a pothole can also cause a sprained ankle. Anytime the foot twists in an awkward position, the ligaments in the foot will stretch or tear and cause a sprain.
Here’s how to help prevent an ankle sprain:
• Do foot exercises that stretch and strengthen the ligaments in your feet, so they are more rigorous and flexible. The more flexible the ligaments, the less likely you will fall into a weird position. And if you do, your feet will at least be able to accommodate the impact better.
• Wrap your feet in a protective brace, like one made of fabric, if you exercise at fast speeds, or do repetitive motions. This helps stabilize and protect your foot.
• If you’re the kind of person who tends to get lost in your own thoughts, or if you tend to be clumsy, start paying more attention to your surroundings. Being mindful of your body when in motion is not only good for your mental health, it might even prevent a sprain!
As always, if your feet are hurting for any reason, make sure to call our Evanston office - Evanston Podiatric Surgeons at 847-475-9030, or Downtown Chicago office - Mag Mile Foot and Ankle Institute at 312-236-3507.

Excessive nail polish use or fungal infections are the most likely causes of yellow toenails. However, yellow toenails can sometimes be a sign of a more serious underlying condition.
A person with yellow toenails should consider seeing a doctor as they may need a prescription to treat the condition.
Visit www.chicagodpm.com.com to schedule your appointment!
Since most fungal infections of the foot won’t go away on their own, most people need at least an over the counter topical antifungal ointment. Others may have to resort to seeing a doctor if symptoms persist or get worse over time.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month!
Skin cancer consists of tumors that grow in your skin and can eventually spread if left untreated. Melanoma is known as the most serious and deadly form of skin cancer. This type of skin cancer develops in the melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives your skin color. Melanoma can spread from these cells to other parts of your body.
