Ouch! My Foot Hurts! Let’s Talk About Foot Disorders
Hi there! 👋 Do your feet sometimes hurt when you run, walk, or jump? Maybe your toes feel squished in your shoes, or your heels hurt when you wake up. That could mean you have a foot disorder — but don’t worry! The friendly doctors at Houstonian Foot & Ankle Specialists in Houston can help make your feet feel better again.
What Is a Foot Disorder?
A foot disorder is when something isn’t quite right with your feet. It might be pain, swelling, funny shapes, or problems walking. Just like you visit the dentist for your teeth, you can visit a foot doctor (called a podiatrist) to take care of your feet!
Common Foot Disorders We Treat
- Bunions: A big bump near your big toe. It can hurt and make shoes tight.
- Flat Feet: When your feet don’t have a little arch or curve underneath.
- Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis): Ouch! It hurts when you walk, especially in the morning.
- Ingrown Toenails: When the corners of your toenail grow into your skin.
- Hammertoes: Toes that curl instead of lying flat.
- Fungal Nails: Toenails that turn yellow or thick – usually from a fungus.
- Warts: Little bumps that grow on your feet – we can make them go away.

FAQs About Foot Disorders

A foot disorder is any problem with your feet, like pain, swelling, or difficulty walking.
2. What causes heel pain?
Heel pain is often caused by plantar fasciitis, which happens when the tissue under your foot becomes inflamed.
3. Are bunions serious?
Bunions can become painful and make it hard to wear shoes. They should be treated before they get worse.
4. Can children get foot disorders?

Flat feet mean your arches are very low or missing. This can cause tired legs or pain after walking.

7. Can ingrown toenails go away on their own?
Sometimes, but often they need gentle treatment from a doctor to stop hurting and avoid infection.
8. What do fungal nails look like?
They may be yellow, thick, or cracked. A foot doctor can help treat the fungus and make nails healthy again.
