The team at TFH were dedicated in helping me and persisted with treatment in a caring and professional manner. They made me feel they were in it with me, and weren’t going to give up, where everyone else had. After all these years of suffering pain and feeling self-conscious about my verrucae, the Swift treatment finally got rid of them with the effects seen even after the first session. After three sessions they have completely gone, which is such a huge relief. To be able to walk around as normal and walk around the pool on holiday free from verrucae was fantastic.
The treatment is quite painful for a very short period of time, but 100% worth it for the amazing results. I would absolutely recommend this treatment, and Total Foot Health, to anyone with persistent verrucae. I am grateful for the teams’ dedication and persistence! Thank you very much particularly to Elysia and all the team.”

- [The tale of the mysterious disappearing foot pain](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/tale-mysterious-disappearing-foot-pain/): Last month Lyndon talked about heel pain and the quite typical story patient’s give us. This proved to be very popular so here is another tale of a common foot pain that our patients present with. Again this may resonate with you or a family member. This is the tale of Morton’s neuroma:
- [Elizabeth’s Story](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/elizabeths-story/): We are thrilled to be able to tell you that Total Foot Health is coming up to an anniversary. Ten years ago we took on the lease of the ground floor in Brown Street. The team began with myself as the podiatrist, Lyndon the podiatric surgeon, Teresa as Lyndon’s PA and Andrea and Caroline the receptionists. Both of our children were at school.

- [Reception upgrade](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/reception-upgrade/): During the team training day, when all our clinics were shut, we took the opportunity to make a few changes to the reception area.
- [Special Offer](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/special-offer-2/): We are delighted with this month’s special offer. The Charter 1227 Restaurant is a premium restaurant located above street level overlooking the historic Salisbury market square.

- [Product of the Month – Shoe Horn](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/product-month-shoe-horn/): One of the things guaranteed to destroy even the best shoes way before they lose their structure is to continually force your heel into the back of the shoe. This applies, in our experience as both clinicians and parents, to children and teenagers. As we get older it does get more difficult to reach down and use a finger to ease the heel into the shoe.
- [Taking care of your shoes](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/taking-care-shoes/): Shoes are pretty much a necessity when we step outside the door in order to protect our feet, support them and also give us more comfort.

- [Achilles Tendonitis – Causes, Symptoms & Treatment Explained](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/biomechanics/achilles-tendonitis/): Achilles Tendonitis is a condition caused by irritation or inflammation of the Achilles tendon, the large tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It commonly develops due to repetitive strain, sudden increases in activity, or changes in how the foot and lower limb move during walking or running.
- [Heel Pain & Shockwave Therapy](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/biomechanics/heel-pain-shockwave-therapy/): Heel pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages and activity levels. It may develop gradually without a clear injury, or appear suddenly and make walking, standing, or exercise uncomfortable. Pain can occur under the heel, at the back of the heel, or spread into the arch of the foot.
- [Foot and Ankle Pain](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/biomechanics/foot-and-ankle-pain/): Foot and ankle pain can affect people of all ages and activity levels. It may develop suddenly after an injury or gradually over time due to overuse, poor biomechanics, or underlying medical conditions. At Total Foot Health, we assess both visible and hidden causes of foot and ankle pain to identify the root issue and recommend the most effective treatment.
- [Biomechanics](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/biomechanics/): Biomechanics is the study of how the body moves and how forces act on muscles, joints and bones during movement.

## Glossaries
- [Lateral Foot Pain/Cuboid Pain (Pain on the outside of the Foot)](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/glossary/lateral-foot-pain-cuboid-pain-pain-on-the-outside-of-the-foot/): What is Lateral Foot Pain? Lateral foot Pain refers to pain on the outer side of the foot. This type of pain can affect daily activities and may be caused by various factors ranging from injuries to structural issues within the foot. Experiencing pain in this area is not uncommon. Our feet carry our load throughout the day and so it is not unsurprising that, on occasion, they can feel a little uncomfortable. However, whilst some foot pain may be attributed to our choice of activity, our choice of foot wear, or overuse, it may also be attributed to injury and should not be ignored. The pain may be linked to some medical conditions, or related to joints and bones, or soft tissue. Stress Fracture Peroneal Tendonitis Cuboid Syndrome Joint Pain
- [Toe Pain](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/glossary/toe-pain/): Experiencing pain in our toes, and especially our toe joints, is not uncommon. Our feet carry our load throughout the day and so it is not unsurprising that, on occasion, they can feel a little uncomfortable. However, whilst some pain in the toes can come from obvious injuries such as stubbing your toe or dropping something heavy onto your foot. However, when there has been no obvious injury or cause then the pain may be linked to some medical conditions, or related to joints and bones, or soft tissue.
- [Foot Pain (Pain at the top of the foot)](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/glossary/foot-pain-pain-at-the-top-of-my-foot/): Experiencing pain on the top of your foot is not uncommon. Our feet carry our load throughout the day and so it is not unsurprising that, on occasion, they can feel a little uncomfortable. However, whilst some foot pain may be attributed to our choice of activity, our choice of foot wear, or overuse, it may also be attributed to injury and should not be ignored. The pain may be linked to some medical conditions, or related to joints and bones, or soft tissue.
- [Heel Pain](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/glossary/heel-pain/): There can be a number of reasons why you have pain in your heel. The main function of your heel is to absorb the impact of your body when moving, whether that is walking, running, exercising or even when we are adding extra load by lifting and carrying heavy weights. Any injury to the heel can be debilitating and impact on almost all of your everyday activities.

## Conditions
- [Cuboid Syndrome](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/cuboid-syndrome/): What is Cuboid Syndrome? Cuboid syndrome is a condition where the cuboid bone, located on the outer side of the foot just in front of the heel bone, becomes partially dislocated or misaligned. This can lead to pain, discomfort and difficulty with walking. Why have I got Cuboid Syndrome? Injury to the cuboid bone, causing it to move out of alignment, can be the result of a sudden trauma or as a result of repetitive activities which cause smaller traumas that can grow to cause irritation. The most common causes are:   Injury as a result of sudden impacts, twists and sprains which lead to pain and instability in the foot Repetitive stress as a result of activities such as running, jumping and or prolonged periods of standing Wearing shoes that lack support. This can increase the risk of misalignment as they fail to adequately support the foot Structural issues with the foot such as flat feet or high arches can make the cuboid bone more susceptible to displacement due to abnormal pressure distribution Abnormal gait or movement patterns can result in extra stress on the cuboid bone contributing to a misalignment How do you treat Cuboid Syndrome? There is no single test for Cuboid Syndrome as such but if your podiatrist puts pressure on this area, it will definitely become clear if this is the source of the pain! The most effective form of treatments for cuboid syndrome are:   Rest and ice treatments and elevation of the foot initially Prescribed exercises by your podiatrist to stretch the calf muscles in order to reduce the pressure and realign the cuboid Bespoke orthotics which will help manage the mechanics of the foot and distribute the loading more effectively in order to reduce the potential for reoccurrence Physical therapy may be prescribed to regain strength, range of motion and flexibility
- [Peroneal Tendonitis](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/peroneal-tendonitis/): Peroneal tendonitis is inflammation or degeneration of the tendon which runs along the outside of the foot and tends to impact the midfoot and can be quite painful.
- [Pain in the arch of my foot](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/pain-in-the-arch-of-my-foot/): What is arch pain? Arch pain refers to discomfort or aching located along the bottom of the foot, particularly through the arch. A healthy arch is supported by bones, ligaments, muscles, and fat pads that help absorb shock and maintain balance. Pain occurs when these structures are strained, inflamed, or otherwise compromised.
- [Metatarsalgia](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/metatarsalgia/): There can be several factors which can contribute to metatarsalgia:
- [Arthritis](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/arthritis/): What is Arthritis? Arthritis is a general term for conditions that cause inflammation in the joints. In the feet, it often leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. There are several types of arthritis that can affect the lower limbs:
- [Morton’s Neuroma](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/mortons-neuroma/): A Morton’s Neuroma is a thickening of the tissue around a nerve leading to the toes. It commonly occurs between the third and fourth toes but can also develop between other toes.
- [Capsulitis](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/capsulitis/): What is Capsulitis? Capsulitis is a condition involving inflammation of the joint capsule - typically affecting the ball of the foot, beneath the base of the second toe. The joint capsule helps stabilise the joint, and when it becomes irritated or inflamed, it can lead to pain, swelling, and instability. In more advanced cases, the toe may begin to drift upward or sideways, potentially leading to deformities like hammertoe.
- [Tendonitis](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/tendonitis/): Tendonitis is the irritation and or the inflammation of the tendon. The extensor tendon lifts the toes and the front of the foot upwards when walking; when irritated or inflamed it can cause pain on the top of the foot which can worsen with activity. Patients may also experience some swelling and stiffness in the foot, especially when first waking up in the morning.
- [Halux Rigidus](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/halux-rigidus/): Treatment for Halux Rigidus will depend upon the severity of the condition. However, your podiatrist is likely to suggest:
- [Joint Pain / Arthritic joint pain](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/joint-pain-arthritic-joint-pain/): There can be a few reasons why people experience joint pain on the top of the foot. The most common reasons are:
- [Stress Fracture](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/stress-fracture/): Stress fractures generally occur as a result of overuse of the joint or the use of repetitive force and is something that can happen to healthy bone as well as bones weakened by osteoporosis. This overuse could generally be from:
- [Sever’s Disease (Calcaneal Apophysitis)](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/severs-disease-calcaneal-apophysitis/): Sever’s disease is a common condition which is sometimes referred to as ‘growing pains’ and affects the growth plate in the heel. The growth plate in children is made up of cartilage which forms into bone as we age. Despite its name, severs disease is actually an injury and not a disease and whilst it is painful and can need treatment, it is something that children will outgrow in time.
- [Achilles Tendonitis](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/achilles-tendonitis/): Achilles Tendonitis
- [Bursitis (Heel pain at the back of the foot)](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/bursitis-heel-pain-at-the-back-of-the-foot/): What is Bursitis? Bursitis is a condition where one of the small fluid-filled sacs in your foot, called a bursa, becomes irritated or inflamed. These bursae are designed to cushion movement between bones, tendons, and soft tissues. When one near the back of your heel becomes inflamed, it can cause swelling, tenderness, and pain - especially when rising onto your toes or walking after rest. The area may also feel warm to the touch.
- [Plantar Fasciitis (Heel pain under the foot)](https://totalfoothealth.co.uk/conditions/plantar-fasciitis-heel-pain-under-the-foot/): Plantar Fasciitis is the most common form of heel pain and is caused by injury of the fascia band which links the heel bone to the base of the toes and provides stability to the foot. Additionally, the plantar fascia acts as a shock absorber for the foot, cushioning load as we move. This is not a condition that should ignored, it can result in chronic heel pain which would impact on your regular activities. In addition, due to the pain you experience you are likely to walk in a different way which may to problems in your foot, knee, hip or back over time.
