Foot

As the foundation for your lower body’s movement, the foot and its numerous bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles can be a source of significant joint pain.

Often associated with inappropriate footwear or poor alignment, pain in the foot is most commonly associated with trauma, such as a fracture; disease, such as osteoarthritis; deformities, such as bunions; or stress injuries.

If you are experiencing any of the following foot pain symptoms, it may be time to visit with a foot specialist.

• Numbness in the foot
• Pain in the heel, ball, or arch of the foot
• Inability to perform daily activities without foot pain
• Change in sensation or color of skin or toenail
• Swelling or tenderness
• If the afflicted area looks deformed or if you have lost function

Additionally, our physician assistant, Kaden Thueson, P.A.-C., performs partial and complete nail removal (or nail avulsions) for ingrown toenails and toenail fungus (onychomycosis).

A consultation with a foot doctor is the best way to differentiate between a severe foot condition and minor foot injury.
