Suffering From Foot Pain?

Foot pain can be caused by a variety of things. Dr. David Biesinger of Centennial Foot & Ankle in North Las Vegas, NV offers treatments for many common things that cause your feet to be unhappy. It is hard to enjoy your life when your feet are making you miserable.

When you have foot pain in North Las Vegas, NV, it can be located from one end of your foot to the other. Painful heels are common, toes can be uncomfortable and the joints in the foot can throb. All of these areas of the foot and ankle can be treated by your podiatrist.

Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an immune disease that attacks the joints and also ligaments. It causes inflammation and over time it can result in deformity. When it attacks the ligaments that support the arch of the foot, the arch collapses and this causes pain whether you are wearing shoes or going barefoot. Osteoarthritis is a wear and tear condition often referred to as age-related. It can be very painful and make you unsteady on your feet. Your podiatrist has treatments that can help. 

Morton's Neuroma

Morton's Neuroma is a nerve condition that affects the bottom of the foot near the base of the toes. It is usually between the 3rd and 4th toes but can be located between the 2nd and 3rd as well. It feels like there is a stone in your shoe but when you check there is nothing there but the sensation remains. The pain may come and go, but if it comes and doesn't go away, you need to see your podiatrist. 

Plantar fasciitis

The plantar fascia is a band of tissue that runs from the base of the toes to the heel. When this band gets irritated, the result is usually pain in the heel. Millions of people develop this condition every year and treating the pain is something that a podiatrist can help with. In some cases, a bone spur may also be involved, but bone spurs don't cause the condition. The pain in the fascia is usually a result of too much pressure or damage to the band. Rest and stretching may be enough to help but seeing your podiatrist is recommended. 

Bunions

Bunions are bony lumps on the inside of the lowest toe joint on the big toe. The pressure from shoes may cause foot pain and make walking difficult with shoes on. Your podiatrist can help with lifestyle change recommendations and other treatment options.
