Common Disorders

Warts are very common soft tissue condition of the foot that can be quite painful. They are caused by a virus, which generally invades the skin through small or invisible cuts and abrasions. They can appear anywhere on the skin, but technically only those on the sole are properly called plantar warts. Children and teenagers, tend to be more susceptible to warts than adults; some people seem to be immune.

Posterior Tibial Nerve Neuralgia

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is pain in the ankle, foot, and sometimes toes caused by compression of or damage to the nerve supplying the heel and sole (posterior tibial nerve).
