The Foot Practice: Foot Corn and Callus Treatment

Introduction to Foot Corn and Callus Treatment

When it comes to foot health, addressing issues like foot corns and calluses is essential. These common foot problems can cause discomfort and even pain, affecting your overall well-being. At The Foot Practice, we specialize in providing top-notch care and treatment for foot corns and calluses.

Understanding Foot Corns and Calluses

Foot corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to friction or pressure. Corns are typically smaller, round, and more focused, often forming on the tops and sides of toes. Calluses, on the other hand, are larger and develop on weight-bearing areas of the feet.

Causes of Foot Corns and Calluses

Several factors can contribute to the formation of foot corns and calluses. These include:

• Ill-fitting footwear that creates pressure points
• Prolonged standing or walking
• Abnormal foot anatomy
• High heels that compress the toes

Foot Corn and Callus Treatment Options

At The Foot Practice, we offer a range of effective treatment options for foot corns and calluses:

1. Conservative Treatments

Conservative treatments may include:

• Wearing properly fitted shoes
• Using protective padding
• Regular exfoliation and moisturization

2. Professional Podiatric Care

For more severe cases, professional podiatric care may be necessary. This can involve:

• Debridement to remove thickened skin
• Custom orthotics to redistribute pressure
• Footwear recommendations
• Addressing underlying biomechanical issues

Preventing Foot Corns and Calluses

Prevention is key when it comes to foot corns and calluses. Here are some tips to help prevent these issues:

• Choose shoes that fit well and provide adequate support
• Avoid wearing high heels for extended periods
• Keep your feet clean and moisturized
• Consider custom orthotics for added support
