Pain from plantar fasciitis is often most noticeable in the morning, during the first few steps after getting out of bed. The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue on the sole of the foot. Repetitive loading can lead to microtears of the plantar aponeurosis, especially near the heel bone. This micro-tear leads to an inflammatory\/healing response, which causes the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_1412672537.jpg\" alt=\"\u03a0\u03b5\u03bb\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9\u03b1\u03af\u03b1 \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd\u03b5\u03c5\u03c1\u03c9\u03c3\u03af\u03c4\u03b9\u03b4\u03b1\" class=\"wp-image-5185\" style=\"width:620px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_1412672537.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_1412672537-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk factors for plantar fasciitis include: excessive standing, increased body weight, age, recent change in activity level, and stiff calf muscle.Some patients show a characteristic osteophyte (heel spur) on the X-ray, while others have a completely normal X-ray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Plantar fasciitis can be treated non-surgically in the vast majority of patients. The main components of an effective conservative treatment program are: calf stretches with the knee extended, plantar fascia stretching, activity modification (to avoid hazardous activities), and wearing comfortable shoes. <strong>Shockwave therapy<\/strong> is also effective.

The extra bone is usually visible on plain x-rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment is usually non-surgical, with rest, activity modification, anti-inflammatories and occasionally a cortisone injection.

Morton's neuroma appears to be the result of chronic irritation or repeated microtrauma to one of the nerves leading to the toes.

In this condition, the proximal phalanx of the big toe deviates outward resulting in the formation of an ossification (bone) on the medial side of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint. A bunion is a relatively common condition.

It tends to happen more often in women and those who wear tight shoes or heels. Heredity also seems to play an important role. Based on x-rays of the feet, and depending on the angles formed between the bones, the condition is classified as mild, moderate and severe. Patients often report pain and difficulty walking. Initial treatment is conservative and aims to manage symptoms. In case of failure, surgical treatment is indicated. Usually, the surgery is done with a small incision, with an <strong>osteotomy<\/strong> of the first metatarsal (eg, Scarf, Chevron, Akin, etc.), accompanied by release of soft tissue and removal of the ossification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u03c0\u03bb\u03b1\u03c4\u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03af\u03b1\">Flatfeet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Flatfoot deformity<\/strong> is the condition in which there is a reduction in height or elimination of the foot arch. The incidence of the condition in the general population is high and can reach up to 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatfoot is referred to as flexible, when the arch is absent during bearing but reappears when the foot is not bearing or standing on tiptoes. This form is benign \u2013 it causes no problems, or causes pain only with vigorous activity. Otherwise, we are talking about rigid flatfoot, which often coexists with serious diseases and causes pain during daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">One of the most common causes of flat feet in adults is a dysfunction or <strong>insufficiency of the tibialis posterior tendon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most patients, a flexible flatfoot is asymptomatic and does not cause pain. In these cases, there is usually no cause for concern. Treatment of flat feet is indicated if pain is caused in the feet or soles, or if the condition affects the knees or lower back. Treatment may include special foot exercises, special arch support insoles, or splints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, surgery can provide permanent relief. Common surgical procedures include flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer and calcaneal osteotomy for tibialis posterior insufficiency, or triple arthrodesis in advanced flat feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u03b1\u03c1\u03b8\u03c1\u03af\u03c4\u03b9\u03b4\u03b1\">Arthritis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common forms of foot arthritis are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Ankle arthritis<\/strong>: primary or post-traumatic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Subtalar arthritis<\/strong>: often post-traumatic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Hallux rigidus<\/strong>: arthritis of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment here can be either conservative or surgical, depending on the area, severity, stage, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_1819403279.jpg\" alt=\"\u03a0\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf \u03c0\u03cc\u03b4\u03b9 - \u03ba\u03cc\u03c4\u03c3\u03b9\" class=\"wp-image-5188\" style=\"width:590px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_1819403279.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_1819403279-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03bc\u03bf\u03c1\u03c6\u03ce\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2-\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd-\u03b4\u03b1\u03ba\u03c4\u03cd\u03bb\u03c9\u03bd-\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5-\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03b9\u03bf\u03cd-hammertoe-claw-toe-mallet-toe\">Toe deformities (hammertoe \u2013 claw toe \u2013 mallet toe)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Hammer toe<\/strong> is a common deformity of the toes.
