Let's understand why the corn & calluses occur in the first place.
When we stand & walk our body weight passes through our soles to the ground. this creates certain pressure areas in our feet. These pressure areas are the variable person to person spends on his/ her arches & walking pattern. For example, a person with flat feet will have more pressure on the inner side of the feet which can lead to corn at the great toe, and a person with a high arch can get corn below the little finger. Apart from this footwear also plays a major role. for example using high heels will increase a lot of pressure on the forefoot.
WHAT IS THE REMEDY?
Once we get any patient with corns we not only assess their foot arches but also their posture & walking pattern. This is necessary for a complete understanding of excess pressures. Further prescribed corrective insoles/ orthotic footwear to offload pressures from the corn area. As the patient starts using this correction they get pain relief immediately & corn starts healing. In follow-up visits, we remove corn without any surgery. Sometimes small corn falls down by itself.
RESULTS:
In most cases, the influence is evident in one month. As the patient will continue using corrective footwear minimize the risk of recurrence.
