A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint where your big toe meets your foot. Bunions happen slowly and eventually they become bigger and begin to stick out from the side of your foot.

Corns and calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin that develop when your skin tries to protect itself against friction and pressure. They most often develop on the bottoms of feet and toes. Corns and calluses can be painful and unsightly. For most people, simply eliminating the source of friction or pressure makes corns and calluses disappear.

Arthritis is a disease that affects most of us in our lifetime. The most common type of arthritis is osteo (bone). As we age, the chance of developing wear and tear osteoarthritis, increases. The joint damage associated with this arthritis causes swelling, pain, and deformity of the feet and ankles. Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, and fibromyalgia are all other more common forms of arthritis. This blog will focus on Osteoarthritis.
