podiatry treatments in Barcelona

• Biomechanical gait and footstep assessment

  The gait study is a biomechanical examination described in the CGCOP guide, aimed at the podiatrist, with joint, muscle and neurological assessment, dynamic assessment and baropodometric study. A pronated foot posture is a risk factor with a small effect for medial tibial stress syndrome. Prescribing trainers according to foot posture probably makes little or no difference to lower limb injuries, and the real effect of types of shoe is uncertain. The cited sources do not establish that everyone needs a study.

• Bunion surgery

  A bunion (hallux valgus) is a deformity that affects 23% to 35% of the population. Wide shoes, pads and insoles relieve the pain but do not correct it, and surgery is the only way to remove it. It is considered if the bunion is very painful or greatly affects your life, and it may reduce pain compared with no treatment, with low certainty. Recovery includes no driving for 6 to 8 weeks and no sport for 3 to 6 months, and bunions sometimes come back. See someone if the pain does not improve, the bunion gets worse or you have diabetes.

• Children's podiatry

  Paediatric podiatry looks after children's feet, and the shape of the foot is usually a normal variant of development. A flexible flat foot that does not hurt needs neither treatment nor insoles, and the evidence does not support expensive custom-made insoles in healthy children who have no pain. Footwear should be flexible, not rigid. Seek advice if there is pain or lack of flexibility, and take any foot deformity in a newborn to the paediatrician.

• Chiropody

  Chiropody is the palliative, not definitive, treatment of corns: it removes the build-up of dead cells by delamination of the hyperkeratosis and enucleation of the heloma. If the cause is not addressed, the corn reappears in about 20 to 45 days.

• Claw toe and hammer toe surgery

  Claw toes and hammer toes start off flexible and over time become fixed and painful; the most common cause is short, narrow shoes. Suitable footwear, offloading insoles and silicone sleeves relieve the discomfort but do not correct the deformity, and exercises are only tried if the toe is not fixed. Surgery straightens the joint, but it shortens the toe and may leave it stiff, in addition to the risks listed in the CGCOP informed consent. See someone if there are sores that turn red, the pain gets worse or you find it hard to walk.

• Corn and callus removal

  Corns and calluses on the feet are caused by pressure or friction on the skin, and the corn is distinguished from the callus by its hard central core. The podiatrist can cut them, apply patches or creams that soften the skin, or supply pads and insoles that offload the area, and if the cause is not addressed they may come back.

• Custom insoles

  Custom-made insoles are supports that redistribute the load on the foot and require a diagnosis and a biomechanical assessment by the podiatrist. A flat foot that does not bother you does not need treatment. In heel pain, a review of 19 trials found no difference between custom-made and off-the-shelf insoles. Custom-made insoles may not work, and if they do not meet expectations the podiatrist modifies them, but the cost is not refunded. Seek advice if your flat feet hurt, are stiff or you find it hard to walk.

• Geriatric podiatry

  Geriatric podiatry is the care of older people's feet. Checking the feet, washing them every day, wearing comfortable footwear and cutting the nails straight help keep them healthy. If you have diabetes, thick nails are treated by a podiatrist, not by you at home, and most people with diabetes should have calluses treated by a podiatrist. Contact your professional immediately if there are sores, redness, warmth, fever or new swelling in one leg, and call the emergency number if there is difficulty breathing or chest pain.

• Ingrown toenail surgery

  An ingrown toenail causes pain, redness and swelling around the nail, and it is diagnosed by examining the toe. At home, soaks, cotton under the nail and wide shoes are recommended. With diabetes, poor circulation or infection, seek care immediately.

• Plantar fasciitis treatment

  Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick tissue that joins the heel to the toes and causes pain under the heel, especially with the first steps in the morning. Treatment starts with painkillers, stretching, rest and shoes with good support. The corticosteroid injection relieves little and only for a short time, with a risk of rupture of the fascia.

• Podiatry for the diabetic foot

  The diabetic foot is associated with ulcers or lesions linked to neuropathy (nerve damage), with or without arterial disease. In the daily check you watch that the skin is not purple and has no hard skin, cracks, blisters or wounds. As local signs of infection, the Ministerio de Sanidad lists redness, increased temperature, swelling and pus, among others. If you have or suspect a lesion or an ulcer, the instruction is to contact a trained healthcare professional as soon as possible. The IWGDF guideline recommends a check every year even for a person at very low risk, and repeats screening more often the higher the risk. After an ulcer has healed, the guideline reports recurrence of 40 % in one year and 65 % in 3 years.

• Sports podiatry

  Sports podiatry looks after the feet of people who play sport, and the sources cited do not describe what the consultation includes. In adults who run, choosing the shoe according to foot posture probably changes injuries little, with trials in military recruits, and the effect of the type of shoe is unknown. Pain that increases with activity may be a stress fracture, and if it does not go away or gets worse it is worth seeking advice.

• Toenail fungus treatment

  Toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, is an infection that should be confirmed with laboratory tests, because other nail conditions look similar. Topical treatments are used in mild or moderate cases and tablets in severe ones, with risks to the liver and of interactions. The cited evidence does not place laser above medicines. A healthy nail can take up to a year to grow and the infection often comes back.

• Verruca treatment

  Plantar warts are benign lesions caused by the human papillomavirus, very contagious, and almost always go away on their own in about 2 years. They are distinguished from a corn by the blackish bleeding dots that appear when the lesion is scraped.

• Morton's neuroma treatment

  Morton's neuroma is a benign thickening of a nerve in the foot, mainly between the third and fourth toes, with burning or stabbing pain. Treatment starts with home care, and surgery is reserved for very severe symptoms or when nothing else works. The certainty of the evidence is low or very low for most outcomes, and the cited sources do not show that custom-made insoles are better than off-the-shelf ones. See someone if the pain does not improve after 2 weeks or if you notice tingling, weakness or numbness.

  Signs to seek care without waiting

  • Being unable to walk.
  • A change in the shape of the foot.
  • A snap or crack at the time of injury.
