Diabetes is a condition whereby the body does not make insulin or has trouble recognizing it. Insulin is crucial for storing food sugars. With diabetes, the sugars are not stored properly and remain at high levels in the blood stream.
As footwear is the usual perpetrator in exacerbating calluses and corns on feet, the winter footwear makes our feet take a turn for the worse. Calluses and corns are hardened areas of skin that develop when we put too much pressure on them. When this occurs on the feet, they usually get worse because we are always standing on them and give them little room for rest. For people that are especially active, this can be painful to deal with.
If you’re experiencing common painful foot conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, or flat feet, a Registered Chiropodist can help you in many ways!
Foot health is often overlooked until discomfort makes it impossible to ignore. One of the most common issues people face is bunions – a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe. Bunions can cause significant foot pain, difficulty walking, and even limit the type of shoes you can wear. Fortunately, proactive medical foot care and simple tools like toe spacers can make a meaningful difference, especially for those seeking non-surgical bunion treatment.
