A heel spur is a condition where a spike-like calcification develops in the heel of your foot. Calcium is very important mineral for your body. It is found in your bones and is a very important staple in a person's diet. When an individual is calcium deficient your body can often take calcium from your bones. Commonly, calcium is removed from the heel and bone spurs result. Heal spurs result in throbbing pain with every step that you take. Heal spurs are visible through the use of x-rays.

Ingrown Toenails are also a very common problem that requires the attention of a podiatrist. Ingrown toenails occur when the nail on any number of your toes does not grow in the proper direction. The end of the nail grows into the soft tissue in the toe and irritates the surrounding region. The toe can often become irritated and infected. If this is the case surgery is usually necessary. The condition can be the result of improper cutting or toenails. Children often have this condition because they tear nails instead of cutting them properly.
