What is a corn and how do you treat it? 👣 A corn is a small, well-defined thickened area of skin caused by repeated friction or pressure. Unlike a callus, which is more spread out, a corn is focused in one spot. Corns can be painful and often need treatment.

Corns can be removed painlessly by a Podiatrist or foot health professional. This usually results in immediate relief!💥 Once the corn has been removed, a protective device can be made to help reduce pressure on the area. If the corn is on the sole of the foot, an insole may be helpful. Corns sometimes return if the cause of the pressure or friction is ongoing.

Your clinician will talk to you about what may have been the cause. Common culprits are wearing shoes too tight, or wearing shoes that are old and worn out. Sometimes there is a natural bony deformity in the toe which can get worse as we age, or we may have had it since birth. In these instances, your Podiatrist may refer you for an operation which can be carried out as day surgery under a local anaesthetic, either privately or on the NHS.

If you have a corn, come and see us for expert treatment and advice. We'll get you walking pain-free again!

🦶 Mid-foot osteoarthritis: What you need to know 🤓 Arthritis affecting the small joints in the middle part of the foot is a common cause of foot pain. In some cases, it can make enjoying everyday activities more difficult. Like anywhere else in the body that is prone to osteoarthritis, the midfoot joints have to sustain a high amount of repetitive loading during our lifetime so it's not surprising they can get a bit creaky! The good news is that treatment can help ⭐️

✅ We use a combination of supportive footwear, like a running shoe, and custom insoles (orthoses) that fit in your shoes and support the mid-foot area. For those that need a little extra help, we can give a steroid injection directly into the area of pain, with the help of ultrasound guidance, for powerful and effective relief.

🌿👣 Get Your Feet Spring-Ready! 👣🌿

With brighter days ahead, many of us are eager to get outside and be more active. But before you lace up those walking boots, have a read of these top tips to get you off to a good start.

✅ Check your footwear – Are your boots supportive, well-fitting, and free from wear and tear? Worn-out soles or poor support can lead to foot pain.

✅ Moisturise & care for skin – Dry, cracked heels? A good foot cream can help keep your skin soft and prevent discomfort. Choose one with urea for the best results.

✅ Trim nails properly – Keep toenails trimmed straight across to help avoid painful ingrown nails.

✅ Address any niggles now – Sore spots, blisters, or foot pain? Don’t ignore them! Early care prevents bigger problems later.

Taking care of your feet means you can enjoy every step of your springtime adventures pain-free! 🌷🚶‍♀️

Is heel pain making you limp?😣 Have you tried everything to make it go? Maybe it's time to see a Podiatrist👣

If you’re experiencing pain under your heel—especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of standing, walking, or running—you might have plantar fasciitis. This common condition can make everyday activities painful, but the good news is, it’s treatable!

At Rushden Podiatry, we are experts at managing heel pain cases and take a holistic view when assessing you as there are many factors, often involving lifestyle and general health that can influence the condition. We may use an ultrasound scan to help confirm the diagnosis.

However, not all heel pain is the same—there are several conditions that can cause similar symptoms, each requiring a different treatment approach. That’s why seeing a Podiatrist, an expert in foot pain, is the best way to get an accurate diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan.

The right treatment for you will depend on factors such as your job, sports, age, and recovery goals. While recovery can take time, particularly for long-standing cases, we have great success in helping our patients get back on their feet. Our treatment options include:

✅ Taping & Footwear Advice
✅ Insoles/orthoses
✅ Tailored Exercise Programs
✅ Shockwave Therapy
✅ Steroid Injections (when needed)

At Rushden Podiatry, our goal is simple: to help you get back to doing what you love, as quickly and safely as possible. If heel pain is affecting your daily life, book an appointment today!

Pain in your big toe? 😣 It might be gout. Gout is a common yet painful form of inflammatory arthritis that occurs when uric acid builds up in the blood, forming crystals in the joints. This leads to sudden and severe attacks of pain, redness, and swelling. The most commonly affected joint is the big toe, although any joint in the body can be affected.

What causes gout?

It is often unclear what causes gout in some people, although there may be a genetic link. Medication such certain diuretics (commonly known as "water pills") can increase the risk of gout by raising uric acid levels in the blood. This happens because diuretics reduce the amount of fluid in the body, leading to decreased kidney function in eliminating uric acid, which can then accumulate and form crystals in the joints. It is not thought that diet plays an important role in predisposing an individual to gout.

How is it diagnosed?

The initial acute gout attack is usually diagnosed by clinical examination of the joint. Sometimes an x-ray may be recommended to help rule out other joint conditions. An ultrasound scan may be particularly helpful as it can detect inflammation in the joint called synovitis as well as a collection of the gout crystals called ‘tophi’ in the joint. Once the acute attack has passed, it is advisable to have a blood test with your GP to confirm the diagnosis. It is wise to wait 5-6 weeks before having the blood test as time is needed to allow the uric acid crystals to disperse from the affected joint and therefore be detectable in the circulating blood.

What is the treatment for gout?

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Naproxen are often prescribed for 7-10 days. This will reduce the inflammation and pain noticeably. As an alternative, you may be prescribed a course of colchicine which is a similar drug but may be associated with side effects such as nausea and diarrhoea. If you are prone to repeated attacks of gout, a drug called allopurinol may be advised. This drug may not be suitable for everyone however.

How can we help at Rushden Podiatry?

At Rushden Podiatry we can help you with both diagnosis and treatment of gout. We have experienced clinicians that can offer diagnostic tests such as ultrasound and also an in-house independent prescriber that can help you with appropriate medication to help manage your symptoms. We can also liaise with your GP if required.

If you suspect you have gout or are having problems with any painful foot and ankle condition, get in touch on 01933 594444 to speak to one of the team, or alternatively you can book online here https://rushdenpodiatry.co.uk/booking/
