Foot problems are extremely common and can affect people of all ages. Many individuals ignore foot discomfort until it begins to interfere with daily activities such as walking, standing or exercising. Some of the most frequently treated conditions include heel pain, plantar fasciitis, bunions, charcot’s foot, corns and calluses, neuropathy, diabetic foot ulcer, ingrown toenails, fungal nail infections, cracked heels and foot deformities.
Foot Deformities
Foot deformities include structural abnormalities such as flat foot, high arch foot and Charcot’s foot, in toeing/out toeing foot, hammer toes or misaligned joints. These conditions can affect balance, walking patterns, angles of the foot and overall foot function if untreated.
Heel pain
Heel pain is a common foot condition often caused by over function of the foot, improper footwear or strain on the heel structures. It can affect walking and daily activities, requiring proper evaluation and treatment.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia ligament becomes inflamed, causing sharp pain under the heel, especially during the first steps in the morning or after long periods of rest.
Bunions
Bunions are bony bumps that develop at the base of the big toe due to joint misalignment. They can cause swelling, pain and difficulty wearing shoes if left untreated.
Charcot’s Foot
Charcot’s foot is a serious condition caused by nerve damage, leading to weakened bones, joint dislocation, and foot deformity. Early diagnosis and proper care are essential to prevent severe complications.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes infection. Professional podiatry care helps relieve discomfort and prevent complications.
Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal nail infections cause nails to become thick, discoloured, brittle and sometimes painful. Without treatment, the infection may spread, affecting nail health and overall foot hygiene.
Cracked Heels
Cracked heels develop when dry skin around the heel becomes thick and splits due to pressure or dehydration. Severe cracks may cause pain, bleeding and increase the risk of infection.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a condition involving nerve damage, often affecting the feet, leading to numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or loss of sensation. Early detection and care are essential to prevent complications.
Corns and Calluses
Corns and calluses are thickened layers of skin caused by repeated friction or pressure on the feet. They can lead to discomfort while walking and require proper foot care treatment.
Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot refers to complications affecting the feet in people with diabetes, caused by poor circulation and nerve damage. It can lead to ulcers, infections, and delayed healing if not managed properly.

Pregnancy brings many changes to the body and the feet are no exception. As the body adapts to support a growing baby, mother often experience foot discomfort due to weight gain, hormonal changes and shifts in posture and balance.
During pregnancy, the hormone relaxing causes ligaments to loosen, which can lead to changes in foot structure, including flattening of the arches. This may result in foot pain, heel pain, swelling and increased strain on the ankles and lower limbs. Additionally, fluid retention can cause swollen feet, making walking uncomfortable and footwear difficult to manage.
At Foot Guru, our podiatrist provides specialised podiatry care for expectant mothers to help manage these changes and maintain comfort throughout pregnancy.
