Foot & Ankle Conditions We Treat
We treat a wide range of foot, ankle, and lower‑leg conditions at Whitby Family Footcare Clinic. Many problems are caused by mechanical dysfunction in the foot and lower leg, while others are related to systemic conditions such as diabetes. Select your foot problem below to learn more about causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
What is your foot problem?
Heel pain often feels sharp with your first steps in the morning or after rest. It’s commonly caused by irritation of the plantar fascia or tightness in the calf muscle.
Fungal nails become thick, discoloured, and brittle over time, often spreading from one nail to another. Treatment helps restore nail health and prevent future infections.
Ingrown nails cause redness, swelling, and pain along the nail edge, especially when wearing shoes. Chiropody treatment provides fast relief and prevents the problem from returning.
Corns, calluses, cracked heels, and warts can become painful if left untreated. Professional care removes the cause of the problem and helps keep your skin healthy.
People with diabetes benefit from regular foot assessments to prevent complications. Early detection and proper care reduce the risk of ulcers, infections, and long‑term issues.
Flat feet can cause fatigue, arch discomfort, and changes in how you walk or stand. Proper assessment helps determine whether supportive footwear, exercises, or custom orthotics can improve comfort and alignment.
Pain in the ball of the foot or around a bunion can make walking and standing uncomfortable. These issues often relate to pressure, footwear, or changes in foot structure over time.
Kids may experience flat feet, toe‑walking, growing pains, or gait changes as they develop. Early assessment ensures proper growth,
