Foot pain can interfere with daily life, but taking simple steps can help keep your feet healthy. Wearing supportive shoes with proper cushioning and fit reduces strain and pressure. Stretching your feet and legs regularly improves flexibility and balance, lowering the risk of injuries. Practicing balance exercises strengthens the muscles that support the feet and ankles. Additionally, trimming toenails straight across prevents painful ingrown nails, while promptly treating wounds or infections protects overall foot health. A podiatrist can provide personalized advice, address underlying conditions, and offer treatments that keep your feet strong and pain-free. If you have foot pain or are struggling with minor or chronic foot discomfort, it is suggested that you schedule a visit with a podiatrist for expert guidance and relief.

Diagnosis

To figure out the cause of foot pain, podiatrists utilize several different methods. This can range from simple visual inspections and sensation tests to X-rays and MRI scans. Prior medical history, family medical history, and any recent physical traumatic events will all be taken into consideration for a proper diagnosis.

A foot corn is a small, thickened area of skin that develops due to repeated friction or pressure, most often on the toes or soles of the feet. Corns can cause discomfort, tenderness, or pain when walking or wearing shoes. Common causes include wearing ill-fitting footwear, abnormal gait, or prolonged pressure on certain areas of the foot. Risk factors include wearing high heels, spending long hours on your feet, and foot deformities, such as bunions or hammertoes. A podiatrist can help by safely removing corns, providing custom orthotics, and offering guidance to prevent recurrence. If foot corns are causing pain or limiting your activities, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist to restore comfort and improve mobility.

Corns can make walking very painful and should be treated immediately. If you have questions regarding your feet and ankles, contact one of our doctors of Godoy Foot and Ankle Center. Our doctors will treat your foot and ankle needs.

Corns: What Are They? And How Do You Get Rid of Them?
Corns are thickened areas on the skin that can become painful. They are caused by excessive pressure and friction on the skin. Corns press into the deeper layers of the skin and are usually round in shape.

Ways to Prevent Corns
There are many ways to get rid of painful corns such as:

• Wearing properly fitting shoes that have been measured by a professional
• Wearing shoes that are not sharply pointed or have high heels
• Wearing only shoes that offer support

Treating Corns

Although most corns slowly disappear when the friction or pressure stops, this isn’t always the case. Consult with your podiatrist to determine the best treatment option for your case of corns.
