Find your problem and how we treat it.
Where does it hurt?
01
Forefoot & toes
5 conditions
Bunions (hallux valgus)
Bunions have a solution. We explain when conservative treatment is enough and when it is worth operating.
Metatarsalgia
Pain in the sole of the forefoot, as if stepping on a stone. We explain why and how we treat it.
Morton's Neuroma
Burning sensation or feeling of an electric shock between the toes. We explain what it is and how we treat it.
Hallux rigidus (stiff big toe)
When the big toe loses mobility and hurts while walking, there are more options than it seems. We explain them here.
Claw toes and hammer toes
Toes that curl and rub against the shoe have a solution, often simpler than you think.
02
Midfoot
5 conditions
Flat foot
Not every flat foot is a problem. We explain when it should be treated and how.
Hollow foot (high arch)
A very high arch overloads the heel and the forefoot. With a proper gait analysis, it is offloaded and controlled.
Midfoot arthritis
Wear and tear of the midfoot joints causes pain when walking and can deform the instep. We help you manage the symptoms and make an informed decision.
Müller-Weiss Disease
A little-known condition affecting the navicular bone that causes chronic pain in the midfoot. It is important to recognize it in order to treat it properly.
Köhler disease
A condition affecting the navicular bone that appears mainly in children and usually has a good prognosis. We help you recognize and manage it.
03
Heel & Achilles
4 conditions
Heel pain
Heel pain is not a diagnosis, it is a symptom. We help you find the cause and treat it.
Plantar fasciitis
Heel pain has a solution. We explain why it appears and how we treat it, without technical jargon.
Calcaneal spur
The spur is often not the true cause of heel pain. We explain what triggers it and how we treat it.
Achilles tendonitis
Pain and stiffness in the heel tendon, especially when starting to move. We explain how we treat it.
04
Ankle & tendons
4 conditions
Ankle sprain
A wrong move and the ankle twists. We explain how to treat it properly so it does not become chronic.
Tendon injuries (tendinosis and ruptures)
When an ankle or foot tendon degenerates or partially tears, the pain persists. Ultrasound shows it to us in the consultation and guides the treatment.
Ankle arthritis
Ankle wear causes pain when walking and limits movement. It can be very well controlled; we help you do so with criteria and without rush.
Osteochondral lesions of the ankle
Small injuries to the cartilage and bone of the talus that explain ankle pain that does not fully go away after a sprain.
05
Skin & nails
4 conditions
Ingrown toenail
Ingrown toenails have a definitive solution. We explain how we treat them to prevent recurrence.
Toenail fungus (onychomycosis)
Thickened, yellow, or brittle nails. We explain how we confirm if it is fungus and how we treat it.
Plantar warts (papillomas)
Papillomas are stubborn, but with the right treatment and consistency they can be cured. We explain how.
Corns and calluses
The skin defends itself against pressure by hardening. We remove corns or calluses painlessly and, most importantly, look for the cause so they do not return.
06
Children
2 conditions
Flat feet in children
Most flat feet in children are normal and resolve on their own. We help you know when action is needed and when it isn't.
Sever's Disease (childhood heel pain)
Does your child complain of heel pain when playing sports? Sever's is common, benign, and resolves on its own. We explain how we manage it.
