We have worked to put together a "foot encyclopedia" to help you see the kinds of information you might want as you evaluate whatever challenges you or your family member might be facing with their feet. Below is a basic overview of foot and ankle problems, and then we have some more detailed information and a video library for you broken down into key areas of concern. We hope you find this information useful. Of course, we are always here to answer your questions over the phone or face to face, so don't hesitate to contact us.

Foot and ankle problems usually fall into the following categories:

• Pain acquired from improper footwear, physical stress, or small mechanical changes within the foot.
• Arthritic foot problems, which typically involve one or more joints.
• Congenital foot problems, which occur at birth, are generally inherited.
• Infectious foot problems, which are caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal disorders.
• Neoplastic disorders, usually called tumors, which are the result of abnormal growth of tissue and may be benign or malignant.
• Traumatic foot problems, which are associated with foot and ankle injuries.

Below is a library of information on everything from common foot problems to less common problems that you may be having with your feet. You can also view our video library for more information about some of the most common foot problems we see here at Adler Footcare.
