  • I keep on spraining my ankles. Is that normal?

    No, it is not normal to have continued ankle sprains. I would recommend a podiatric evaluation. You may have repeated ankle sprains if you don’t have an initial one treated properly and aggressively. If your initial ankle sprain does not heal properly you will have a weak ankle that is prone to sprains. Another reason may be high-arched feet. People with high arches sprain their ankles repeatedly. High-arched feet are very unstable, which causes the ankle to twist inward causing sprains.

  • I have lower back pain. Could it be related to my feet?

    Many people who suffer from chronic back pain don’t realize that it may be related to their feet. Your feet are the foundation of your entire body. If they are misaligned, that results in excessive pressure on your ankles, knees , back and even your shoulders.

  • Why do I have a bump behind my heels?

    A bump behind your heels may be a sign of high arches. Peoples with high arches or “varus” (inward tilting) heels develop a mass behind their heels called “Hagland’s deformity”. Usually this is harmless. However, if it gets big enough it may cause irritations in shoes. Furthermore, people who have it have a hard time finding comfortable shoes. I would recommend an evaluation by a podiatrist who can examine you and provide you with guidance as to the correct condition and its solutions.

  • I have calluses under my first and 5th toe joints. Is that normal?

    No, it is not normal. Calluses under specific areas of the foot are a sign of excessive pressure to it. Pressure points under the foot can be triggered by many reasons. However, one of the most common reasons for calluses under the 1st and 5th toe joints is high arched feet. A high arch foot is like a triangle with the base of it being on the bottom. This results in pressure points under the forefoot and the heel. A biomechanical exam by a podiatric physician is highly recommended in this situation.
