Heel pain after running?
Two common causes are plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, and while they often occur together, they are not the same.
Plantar fasciitis happens when the thick tissue under your foot becomes inflamed, causing sharp heel pain with your first steps in the morning, or after long periods of standing and walking.
Heel spurs, on the other hand, are bony growths that develop from long-term strain. They may cause pain during or after activity, but not usually first thing in the morning, and sometimes show up only on X-ray.
Common triggers include overuse, sudden increases in running distance, worn-out shoes, flat feet or high arches, tight calf muscles, and poor running technique.
If you’re experiencing persistent heel pain, early care makes a big difference. Supportive options include rest, stretching, proper footwear, orthotics, physical therapy, night splints, and shockwave therapy for chronic cases. Surgery is rarely required.
If your pain isn’t improving after a few weeks, it’s best to see a podiatrist for an accurate assessment and a personalised treatment plan.
Don’t let heel pain interrupt your runs. Get the right diagnosis and the right care—so you can return to training safely and confidently.

Running offers numerous health benefits, but for many, it may also uncover or exacerbate underlying issues such as foot and ankle arthritis. When pain in the ankle joint, foot, or even the knee becomes persistent, especially in runners, it’s essential to determine whether it’s due to overuse, Runner’s Knee, or a more serious arthritic condition. For runners, visiting a Singapore Podiatrist for early intervention can help preserve mobility, prevent further damage, and significantly improve quality of life.

Foot and lower-limb discomfort can be persistent and frustrating, especially for individuals managing conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, or chronic heel pain. With the rise of non-invasive solutions, shockwave therapy , especially Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT), has gained traction for addressing these concerns.
As more at-home shockwave devices appear on the market, many are wondering: Should I go the professional route or opt for home-based solutions? Here’s a clear comparison, especially for those in Singapore considering their options.

Do Insole Orthotics Help Runners with Flat Feet & Arches?
Runners often suffer from biomechanical issues such as flat feet or high arches, both of which can lead to significant discomfort, reduced performance, and even injury if not addressed properly.
Flat feet, or fallen arches, occur when the arches of the feet collapse, causing the entire sole to make contact with the ground. This often results in overpronation, where the foot rolls inward excessively during walking or running.
On the other end of the spectrum, high arches can lead to supination, where the foot rolls outward. This improper alignment places excess stress on the outer part of the foot and can result in conditions like shin splints, heel pain, Achilles tendonitis, and even lower back pain.
Runners in Singapore experiencing these issues often turn to custom foot orthotics as a long-term support.

10 Tips to Manage Toenail Trauma and Keep Your Feet Safe
Toenail trauma can be both painful and persistent if not addressed properly. Whether it’s the result of stubbing your toe, dropping something heavy, or wearing ill-fitting shoes, even minor nail injuries can lead to infection, permanent damage, or nail loss. Recognising early signs and applying the right care strategies is key to keeping your feet healthy, especially in Singapore’s humid climate, which can complicate nail regrowth.

You may have noticed a bony bump forming on the side of your big toe. Known as a bunion, or hallux valgus, this condition often signals a structural imbalance in your foot. Although it may initially appear harmless, a bunion can gradually impact your foot’s natural movement and add strain to nearby areas. Over time, inflammation from this misalignment can lead to persistent pain, making daily activities like walking or even standing feel challenging.
But bunions aren’t the only culprits. A similar issue, called a bunionette or Tailor’s Bunion, can develop on the outside edge of the foot, near the base of the little toe. Both bunions and bunionettes often start with a mild ache around the affected joint, which can intensify as inflammation progresses. It’s also possible that other conditions might be causing similar pain, so if you’re unsure, it’s worth exploring the causes further to understand what may be affecting your foot health. Here, we look closely at the factors contributing to bunion and bunionette pain and the options available for managing it.

What Sports Taping is used for in podiatry:
• Injury prevention
• Injury Management
• Post-Injury Management
It also plays a role in preventing foot deformity, particularly in conditions such as bunions or other bone deformities. Our podiatrists will assess and provide suitable taping techniques based on the specifics of your lower limb condition.
