but if the problem stubbornly returns surgery might be necessary.

are perfectly able to perform nail surgery. So if your toenails need to be
removed you can relax knowing you are in the hands of a trained
professional.

Biomechanical Assessment
If you are experiencing pain in your lower
body you might need a biomechanical assessment.
This test examines how you stand and walk, the strength and flexibility of your muscles and the function and mobility of your joints. It can be used to correct inefficiencies in how you position and use your body so that pain can be prevented.

Orthotics
Orthotics are used to improve alignment and
provide extra support. Your podiatrist will be able to direct you to the best
option available to provide your feet with sufficient support for your specific
condition. Some situations require custom orthotics.
Bunions
More than just unsightly, bunions can also
be very painful. They develop slowly, gradually becoming a bony bump at the big
toe joint. They are caused by excessive pressure on
the big toe. This pressure pushes the big toe towards the second toe, resulting
in the bunion’s characteristic bump.
If ignored the deformity will only get worse and worse. Luckily, most bunions can be managed with wider shoes, footwear that has extra room in the toe area and other options that protect the big toe from too much pressure.You will need to speak with your podiatrist
to discuss your options and determine the best course of action.
