Foot deformities are congenital (from-birth) or acquired conditions that involve structural abnormalities or muscular imbalances in the feet/foot. The function of the feet or foot is affected, and this can affect a patient’s walking ability and general mobility. The most common foot deformities are:
• Clubfoot – A twisted foot
• Hammertoe – Bent toes
• Bunions – Bony bumps on the joint at the base of the big toe
• Bone spurs – Bony growths that cause pain in nearby structures like nerves
• Flat feet – Also known as flatfoot, pesplanus, pronated foot, or fallen arches
• High arched foot – Also known as cavus foot
Foot deformities and related issues are treated by foot specialists like ours here at Bay Area Foot and Ankle Associates.
This kind of doctor specializes in the health of the feet, ankles, and heels. Some health issues that can arise in this area include bunions, sprained ankles, plantar fasciitis, and the common foot deformities we mentioned above. For diabetic patients, the services of a foot specialist can be vital, as diabetics are very susceptible to complications arising from foot issues. For all other patients, the services of a foot specialist can be life-changing, especially if a patient has a chronic foot condition or a foot deformity like flat feet that affects the patient’s mobility and everyday life.
Also known as podiatrists, foot specialists can provide common and complex treatments, including surgeries. In many patient cases of foot deformities, the best treatment is surgery, but there are many other potential treatments.
This depends on the particular type of deformity a patient has. There are many conservative options for treatment, and this is how we would prefer to treat you here at Bay Area Foot and Ankle Associates. Depending on the deformity, treatment may be:
• Custom orthotics or toe spacers
• Physical therapy
• New and better shoes for your feet type or to accommodate your deformity
• Padding, taping, strapping, splinting, etc.
• Simple lifestyle changes
Sometimes the only option left for treatment is surgery. Surgery can be totally transformative for a patient’s lifestyle, offering a permanent solution to a deformity and much greater mobility. Conservative treatments can provide excellent results when these treatments are appropriate. Connect with us at our clinic to learn more about this subject and how we can help you with your particular condition.
