The foot and ankle are vulnerable to a variety of conditions that can affect mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life. These issues may involve bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, or soft tissues, leading to pain, instability, or deformities. Common conditions include:

• Achilles Tendon Rupture – a tear in the strongest tendon of the body, often caused by sudden movements or sports injuries.

• Ankle Fractures – breaks in one or more ankle bones, usually due to trauma or falls.

• Ankle Sprains – stretching or tearing of ligaments around the ankle, one of the most common foot injuries.

• Bunion – a bony bump at the base of the big toe that can cause pain and misalignment.

• Claw Toe – a deformity where toes bend into a claw-like shape, affecting walking and balance.

• Flatfoot – a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, leading to discomfort and difficulty in movement.

• Plantar Fasciitis – inflammation of the thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot, a common cause of heel pain.

Together, these conditions highlight the importance of early diagnosis and proper treatment to restore function, reduce pain, and prevent long-term complications.
