  A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. They can develop from an inherited structural defect, excess stress on your foot, or can result from an existing medical condition.
• Ingrown Toenails
  Warm water soaks several times a day, properly fitted shoes and socks, and trimming nails in a straight line (rather than rounded) are ways to treat and prevent painful ingrown toenails. If there is an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed.
• Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

• Hammertoe Surgery
  However, if you are having a bunionectomy or hammertoe surgery, that is a longer recovery. Most of the time the recovery period is 4-6 weeks in a specialized post-op shoe. This shoe does not allow any bending in the front part of the foot, allowing the surgery site to heal. During the healing process you would be able to put full weight on your foot with the post-op shoe.

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Corns tend to be smaller than calluses and are the hard center is surrounded by irritated skin. While corns can be found on the bottom of the foot where pressure is usually applied, it is more common that you find corns on the tops and sides of your toes and even between your toes. When pressure is applied, corns can cause significant pain and discomfort.
• Calluses
  The demands made on your feet and lower limbs can lead to a range of injuries, including blisters, sprained ankles, torn ligaments, shin splints, knee pain, low back pain and other joint or muscle problems. Added to these are common complaints such as corns, calluses and Athlete’s foot.
• Fungus
  Toenail polish alone does not cause fungal infections. Leaving toenail polish on for long periods of time can make it difficult to know if a fungus has infected the nail. In early stages of fungal infections, the nail may appear only discolored. If you are unable to observe what the nail looks like for weeks or months, a fungus can infect the nail without you knowing it and continue to grow.
• Lesions
  While most plantar warts are not a major health concern, it is advised you see a doctor to have the warts examined and removed. Some symptoms include small, rough lesions on the base of the foot, calluses in one spot, and tenderness when walking or standing for long periods of time.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  A podiatrist can not only help treat your current foot or ankle pain, but provide you with helpful tips to prevent future sports injuries.
• Physical Therapy
  Orthotics work by decreasing high pressure areas, stabilizing the foot alignment and cushioning the foot. They also help to stabilize the foot during the walking cycle to adjust abnormalities in walking. Orthotics will not permanently change your anatomy and will function only when walking or standing on them. Orthotics complement other treatments such as physical therapy, stretching, icing, anti-inflammatory medicines and in some cases surgical correction of the foot.
• Flatfoot Correction
• Heel Pain
• Back Pain
• Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Podiatrists

• General Podiatry
  At Augusta Podiatry Associates, we respect the dignity and independence of our guests and we are committed to providing full and equal access to everyone who visits our facility and website. Here’s what you can expect from us...
• Achilles Tendonitis
  Martial Arts and Kickboxing: Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, sesamoiditis, and ankle sprains. Proper stretching is vital to injury prevention, specifically, a minimum of 15 minutes before beginning exercise.
• Ankle Instability
  Chronic ankle instability is usually caused by repeated ankle sprains and is described as the gradual giving way of the outside of the ankle. Some symptoms of ankle instability include constant inflammation or swelling, tenderness, and instability in the ankle. After a sprained ankle, the ligaments become stretched and torn. Proper rehabilitation is required to strengthen the muscles around the ankle and rehabilitate the tissues within the ankle that affect your balance. In addition, physical therapy, medications, and bracing can help treat chronic ankle instability. Failure to do so may result in repeated ankle sprains, or possibly surgery.
• Ankle Sprain
  Team Sports: Baseball, basketball, soccer, football, field hockey, and lacrosse often lead to foot and ankle injuries. Artificial surfaces, improper footwear, and inadequate stretching are recipes for disaster. read more Our customized treatment plans allow us to individualize your experience and help you achieve your specific goals. We aim to treat your symptoms while addressing the cause of your pain, and we will work on establishing healthy practices to prevent future injuries. As a reminder, you should always wear sport-appropriate shoes and stretch for at least 15 minutes before playing sports.
• Bunions Problems
  For the most part, bunions require no medical treatment. However, if you are experiencing one or more of the following, a podiatrist can help alleviate your symptoms.
• Calluses
• Diabetic Foot Care
  Daily preventative care can help you decrease your risk of developing these other serious conditions like ulcers and infections. Inspecting your feet at the end of the day to look for any abnormalities, maintaining proper hygiene, keeping your feet warm in cold weather, encouraging blood flow in the feet, and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle can discourage other conditions from developing.
• Flat Feet
  Painful arches are a common foot problem that present as a throbbing or stabbing pain to the bottom of the arch and hurt the most when walking or exercising. It can occur in one or both of the arches. People with flat foot or “fallen arches” very commonly have arch pain. However, people with a very high arch can experience arch pain as well. In most cases, the source of arch pain comes from tendons and muscles in the foot that are not working properly. These tendons that help support the arch become fatigued and cause pain. Without treatment, these fatigued tendons can actually tear or allow the arch to fully collapse. Custom arch supports or orthotics can be made to keep the arch stabilized allowing the tendons that support the arch to work in the correct position.
• Fungus Toenails
  Fungal infections can present on the skin or the toenails but they differ in appearance.A fungal skin infection, or athlete’s foot, can appear as dry scaling skin to the bottom of the foot and/or between the toes or as small blisters with burning and redness. Toenail fungus causes thickening of the nail as well as a yellowish, brown or white discoloration and causes debris underneath the nail. If an infection starts on the skin or in one of the toenails, it can spread to the other nails if not treated properly. Topical antifungal creams treat skin infections, and nail fungal infections are best treated with a combination of topical or oral antifungals and laser therapy.
• Geriatric Foot Care
  As we age, foot problems are almost inevitable and completely normal. However, there are important steps to take to make sure you stay on your feet.
• Hammertoes
  Hammertoe is a deformity where one or both joints of the second, third, fourth or fifth toes begin to bend outside of their normal alignment. Pressure can begin to weigh heavy on the toes as you wear shoes which is where pain and other symptoms develop.
• Heel Spurs
  Heel spurs occur in at least 50% of people who have plantar fasciitis. Past treatments for heel spurs, a bony growth that begins on the front of your heel bone and points toward the arch of your foot, included surgery to remove the growth. Nowadays, surgery is rarely a treatment option and more plans for physical therapy, ice, and pain medications are used to treat heel spurs.
• Heel Pain
• Foot Pain
• Ingrown Toenails
  We have all made the painful mistake of trimming our nails too short at some point in our lives. Sometimes, this can really affect our foot health by causing ingrown toenails.
• Foot Orthotics
  Custom foot orthotics are designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look similar to insoles, but are biomedical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot while you walk. We understand that everyone is different, which is why custom foot orthotics are made just for you.
• Pediatric Foot Care
  Pediatric foot conditions often go unnoticed and are often misdiagnosed. Most doctors dismiss any pediatric foot issues as being a part of normal structural development that children will eventually outgrow. However, foot problems are often prevalent in children due to their high levels of physical activity. Children are resilient, meaning that any potential foot issues may be overlooked.
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a band of tissue on the bottom of the foot that helps with arch support. When the plantar fascia becomes tight after a period of rest, it can cause intense sharp pain to the bottom of the heel. Stretching the plantar fascia can elongate the tightened, contracted band of tissue and alleviate heel pain. Doing a heel stretch on a daily basis, such as a runner’s stretch or towel stretch, can lengthen the plantar fascia and prevent heel pain from occurring in the morning when getting out of bed.
• Podiatric Surgery
  It is important before you decide to go ahead with foot surgery to plan to have the appropriate amount of time needed to heal. Your recovery will be longer and more painful if you try to rush back to work or life too quickly.
