People usually do not understand much about foot conditions. And cannot find out the reason for the cause of such problems. Is it sprain, trauma, tendonitis, overuse joints or tired muscle? bone spur ? fracture ? cyst ? tumor ? and feel worry a lot.
Some of them who are suffering from bunion pain, trying to purchase over the counter medications including counter pain plaster, or medicated footbath or using different insoles or padding etc. or even change to put on particular brand comfort shoes. But all of them are not working well and wish the condition would be subsided itself. Some people who with developed corns and expected the corn plaster or liquid can alleviate the conditions. Unluckily, some may suffer complications and resulted in infection. Some people who had foot pain and had taken pain killer and even injection but did not help at all and felt disappointed. Then who only accept the present condition which cannot be cured and do not take any further treatment. Actually, the causes for different foot conditions are different and the treatment regimes are also different.
We hope through this website with different illustrations, including photos to explain possible causes, with suggested treatment methods, things to be considered, and self help advice. Also, we have explained how to select a pair of right shoes and apply foot orthoses in the management of different common foot conditions etc... Finally, we hope the general public can have better knowledge in footcare and achieve better foot conditions.
