If you play basketball, you’ve probably been there...that painful, tender spot along the side of your toenail that makes every step and cut a little more uncomfortable.

Basketball involves a lot of starting, stopping, jumping, and quick changes of direction. That repeated pressure and friction around the toes can contribute to ingrown toenails, and if you keep playing through the pain, a small problem can become a much bigger one.

If an ingrown toenail is becoming painful or keeps coming back, it’s worth having it assessed by a podiatrist. Don’t let a toenail keep you off the court. 🏀

When should you see a podiatrist?

Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start. A podiatrist can assess your feet, identify the underlying issue, and help determine what type of care is appropriate for you.

Consider seeing a podiatrist if you have:

👟 Ongoing foot, calf, heel, ankle or toe pain
Especially if it affects how you walk, exercise, work, or go about your day.

🏃 Biomechanical concerns
If you have recurring injuries, problems with the way you walk or run, or questions about whether orthotics could help, a podiatrist can assess your biomechanics and determine whether orthotic therapy is appropriate.

🦶 An ingrown toenail or a more complex nail problem
Podiatrists can assess painful or recurrent ingrown toenails and more severe foot or nail concerns to determine the appropriate treatment.

🩺 Diabetes or other conditions that put your feet at higher risk
A podiatrist can assess your feet and identify concerns that may require medical attention. When ongoing foot care is appropriate, our nursing team can provide follow-up care such as wound, nail, and callus care.

🩹 A foot problem that isn't improving
If you've tried treating an issue on your own and it keeps coming back, getting an assessment can help identify why it's happening rather than simply treating the symptoms.

💡 Not sure who you should see? That's okay.
Depending on your concern, the right care may involve a podiatrist, pedorthist, physiotherapist, massage therapist, nurse, or another healthcare professional. The important thing is getting the right assessment first so you can receive the care that's appropriate for your feet. We will always refer you to trusted professionals in other fields when we feel a different type of care would best support your needs.

At our clinic, your first appointment with the podiatrist is an opportunity to assess your concerns, identify the underlying issue, and develop a plan. When ongoing foot care is needed, our nursing team can provide that continued care.

If you're unsure where to start, we're happy to help point you in the right direction.

🍂 It's hard to believe it's that time of year again. We're starting to see signs of fall, and as the weather gets colder, your footwear needs to do more than keep your feet warm. Here's what you want to look for:

🥾 Removable insoles give you the option to replace the insole or accommodate custom orthotics.

🥾 A firm heel counter makes the back of the shoe feel supportive and resist collapsing when you press on it.

🥾 A rigid or semi-rigid sole helps provide stability and prevents excessive bending and twisting through the foot.

🥾 A wide toe box allows your toes enough room to spread and move naturally without being squeezed together.

🥾 An adjustable lacing system provides a more custom fit and gives more secure support around your foot and ankle.

🧦 Remember: a good boot should fit your foot, not the other way around!

If you’re unsure whether your current footwear is providing the support your feet need, Vi can help assess your footwear and recommend options that are appropriate for your feet and biomechanics.
