foot pathology

Foot pathology refers to various conditions and disorders that affect the structures of the foot, including bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin. These issues can cause pain, swelling, deformity, or difficulty walking. Common problems include plantar fasciitis (heel pain), bunions (bony bumps on the big toe), fractures, arthritis, and infections. These conditions may result from injury, repetitive stress, poor footwear, or underlying health issues like diabetes. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to relieve symptoms and prevent further complications, often involving rest, medication, therapy, or sometimes surgical intervention.
