It’s a persistent sensation, as if a pebble, a bunched-up sock, or a marble is under the ball of your foot. You stop, take your shoe off, shake it out, and find…nothing. That sensation is often caused by Morton’s neuroma, a common and treatable condition. Read on to learn more about the issue and how Atlantic Foot & Ankle Specialists can help you step past it!
It’s a pain that millions of people know all too well: that sharp, stabbing sensation in your heel with the first few steps out of bed. Plantar fasciitis can turn a simple walk into a painful ordeal, and when it becomes chronic, many people start to worry that invasive surgery is their only real option.
Excessive sweat and foot odor are common problems for growing kids, often tied to natural hormonal changes. While it may be tempting to dismiss these problems as part of a “phase,” finding a real solution can make a world of difference for kids’ confidence and prevent health complications.
