A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe when the joint becomes misaligned. It develops gradually as the big toe leans toward the second toe. Common causes include wearing tight or narrow shoes, inherited foot structure, or arthritis. A bunion often looks swollen and red and may cause pain or stiffness when walking. Risk factors include family history, flat feet, and prolonged pressure on the feet. A podiatrist can assess the severity, recommend supportive footwear, custom orthotics, or surgery, if needed. If you have a painful bump on your big toe, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist who can provide effective relief tips, and help prevent further deformity.
If you are suffering from bunions, contact One of our Podiatrists of One Stop Foot and Ankle Care. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
What Is a Bunion?
A bunion is formed of swollen tissue or an enlargement of boney growth, usually located at the base joint of the toe that connects to the foot. The swelling occurs due to the bones in the big toe shifting inward, which impacts the other toes of the foot. This causes the area around the base of the big toe to become inflamed and painful.
Why Do Bunions Form?
Genetics – Susceptibility to bunions are often hereditary
Stress on the feet – Poorly fitted and uncomfortable footwear that places stress on feet, such as heels, can worsen existing bunions
How Are Bunions Diagnosed?
Doctors often perform two tests – blood tests and x-rays – when trying to diagnose bunions, especially in the early stages of development. Blood tests help determine if the foot pain is being caused by something else, such as arthritis, while x-rays provide a clear picture of your bone structure to your doctor.

Pain from arthritis in the feet and ankles can be relieved through certain exercises. Experts suggest low-impact activities like swimming and yoga, which help take the pressure off the feet as you move. In addition, research has shown that performing specific stretches may help to ease foot pain, making it easier to complete daily activities. These include toe curls, the ankle alphabet, and calf stretches for the Achilles tendon. Toe curls are done while sitting in a chair, placing a towel on the floor, dragging it toward you with the toes, and followed by pushing it away. The ankle alphabet is practiced by writing the letters of the alphabet in the air with your foot. If you have ankle or foot arthritis, it is suggested that you are under the care of a podiatrist who can help you to manage this condition.
Arthritis can be a difficult condition to live with. If you are seeking treatment, contact One of our Podiatrists from One Stop Foot and Ankle Care. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Arthritic Foot Care
Arthritis is a joint disorder that involves the inflammation of different joints in your body, such as those in your feet. Arthritis is often caused by a degenerative joint disease and causes mild to severe pain in all affected areas. In addition to this, swelling and stiffness in the affected joints can also be a common symptom of arthritis.
In many cases, wearing ill-fitting shoes can worsen the effects and pain of arthritis. Wearing shoes that have a lower heel and extra room can help your feet feel more comfortable. In cases of rheumatoid arthritis, the arch in your foot may become problematic. Buying shoes with proper arch support that contour to your feet can help immensely.
Alleviating Arthritic Pain
It is best to see your doctor for the treatment that is right for your needs and symptoms. Conditions vary, and a podiatrist can help you determine the right method of care for your feet.

Swollen feet are a common concern during pregnancy and often result from an expanding uterus that puts pressure on veins, which slows blood circulation. Hormonal changes can also cause the body to retain fluid, leading to swelling in the feet and ankles. Prevention strategies include elevating the feet when possible, wearing supportive footwear, staying active with safe exercises, and avoiding prolonged standing or sitting. A podiatrist can provide expert advice on managing swelling, recommend compression socks, assess foot health, and address discomfort or underlying issues. If you have swollen feet or foot pain, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist who can offer effective relief solutions.
Pregnant women with swollen feet can be treated with a variety of different methods that are readily available. For more information about other cures for swollen feet during pregnancy, consult with One of our Podiatrists from One Stop Foot and Ankle Care. Our doctors will attend to all of your foot and ankle needs.
What Foot Problems Can Arise During Pregnancy?
One problem that can occur is overpronation, which occurs when the arch of the foot flattens and tends to roll inward. This can cause pain and discomfort in your heels while you’re walking or even just standing up, trying to support your baby.
Another problem is edema, or swelling in the extremities. This often affects the feet during pregnancy but tends to occur in the later stages.

Children with Down syndrome often experience low muscle tone and joint flexibility that can affect the way their feet support the body. These differences may lead to flatfoot, instability, or fatigue when walking and running. Custom orthotics provide individualized support by improving alignment, offering arch stability, and redistributing pressure across the foot. This can make movement more comfortable and help children stay active in daily play, sports, and school activities. Unlike prefabricated inserts, custom devices are created from a detailed evaluation of each child’s foot structure and walking pattern, ensuring a precise fit. Orthotics are often combined with supportive footwear and tailored exercises to encourage better balance and mobility. If your child has Down syndrome and is experiencing foot discomfort or walking challenges, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist to learn whether custom orthotics could improve their comfort and independence.
Custom orthotics play an important role in preventing and treating foot and ankle injuries by providing personalized support that aligns with the unique structure of each foot. These specially designed devices help correct biomechanical imbalances, reduce pressure on sensitive areas, and improve stability during movement. When the feet are properly supported, the risk of developing conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and ankle sprains can be significantly reduced. Custom orthotics also help relieve discomfort caused by having flat feet, high arches, or uneven leg length, which may contribute to recurring injuries or pain.
Foot and ankle injuries can develop gradually from repetitive strain or occur suddenly during physical activity. Without proper treatment, these injuries can affect mobility and overall quality of life. Orthotics work to redistribute weight evenly across the foot, allowing joints and muscles to function more efficiently. This not only supports recovery from injury but can also prevent future problems by promoting better posture and alignment throughout the lower body.
Unlike over-the-counter inserts, custom orthotics are designed based on a detailed evaluation of each patient’s foot structure, gait, and medical needs. Podiatrists use advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to create orthotics that fit precisely and provide targeted correction. Whether used in everyday footwear or athletic shoes, custom orthotics can improve comfort, enhance performance, and support long-term foot health.
If you are experiencing foot or ankle pain or have sustained an injury that has not improved with rest, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist. Call our office for more information or to make an appointment.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, resulting from inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. This condition often develops due to overuse, wearing improper footwear, high arches, or prolonged standing. Symptoms include sharp or stabbing pain in the heel, especially during the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest. The pain may ease with movement, but often returns after long periods of standing or walking. A podiatrist can diagnose plantar fasciitis through a physical exam, medical history, and sometimes imaging to rule out other conditions. Treatment options may include stretching exercises, custom orthotics, night splints, or anti-inflammatory medications. Addressing the issue early can prevent chronic discomfort and long-term complications. If you are suffering from heel pain, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist to receive an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
Plantar fasciitis can be very painful and inconvenient. If you are experiencing heel pain or symptoms of plantar fasciitis, contact One of our Podiatrists from One Stop Foot and Ankle Care. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
