At Coastal Podiatry Associates, we treat a full range of foot pain and ankle conditions for patients across the Grand Strand. From common issues like heel pain and bunions to complex injuires and diabetic foot care, our Myrtle Beach podiatrists are dedicated to helping you move comfortably again. We take time to identify the source of your discomfort and develop a personalized treatment plan that gets you back on your feet quickly and safely.
Heel Pain
Heel pain is one of the most common causes of foot pain. It can result from overuse, injury, or inflammation in the heel and surrounding tissues, often making walking or standing difficult.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis develops when the thick band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes becomes inflamed, leading to sharp heel and foot pain, especially with your first steps in the morning.
Stress Fractures
Stress fractures are tiny cracks in the bones of the foot or ankle caused by repetitive strain. Early diagnosis and rest are key to healing and preventing further injury.
Heel Spurs
A heel spur is a bony growth on the heel bone, often linked to chronic heel pain and plantar fasciitis. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and correcting foot mechanics.
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis causes pain and swelling along the back of the leg where the tendon connects to the heel. Overuse or tight calf muscles are common culprits.
Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia causes aching or burning in the ball of the foot, often from high-impact activity or poorly fitting shoes. Proper support and footwear can ease discomfort.
Nail and Skin Care
Healthy skin and nails are vital for preventing foot pain and infection. We provide comprehensive care for a variety of skin and nail conditions.
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. Treatment relieves discomfort and prevents infection.
Toenail Fungus
Fungal infections can make nails thick, discolored, and brittle. Our podiatrists offer safe and effective treatments for restoring healthy nails.
Athlete's Foot
This itchy, burning fungal infection affects the skin between the toes or on the soles. Prompt care prevents spreading and recurring infection.
Plantar Warts
Caused by a viral infection, planar warts can be painful and persistent. We use advanced treatments for a safe and effective removal.
Ganglion Cyst
A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled lump on the top or side of the foot. Depending on its size and symptoms, treatment may include aspiration or minor surgery.
Skin Deformities
We treat a range of skin disorders such as corns, calluses, and thickened tissue that cause irritation and foot pain during daily activities.
Sports Injuires
From runners to weekend athletes, we treat all types of sports-related foot pain and injuires, helping you recover and safely return to your sport.
Turf Toe
A sprain of the big toe joint, turf toe, causes swelling and pain at the toe base from sudden movement or overuse.
Sesamoiditis
Inflammation of the small bones under the big toe joint leads to pain during walking and running. Proper footwear and rest can aid recovery.
Chronic Ankle Instability
Repeated ankle sprains can cause instability and weakness. We provide therapy and, if needed, surgical options to restore stability.
Trauma and Fractures
Foot and ankle fractures require expert care to ensure proper healing and alignment. We offer complete fracture management for all ages.
Jones Fracture
This fracture on the outside of the foot requires close monitoring and specialized treatment to avoid delayed healing.
Calcaneal Fracture
A broken heel bone often results from a fall or impact. Treatment may involve immobilization or surgical repair, depending on severity.
Lisfranc Injury
An injury to the midfoot joints and ligaments can cause long-term foot pain if not properly treated. Early diagnosis ensures better recovery.
Diabetic Foot Care
We help diabetic patients protect their feet from ulcers, infections, and nerve damage. Routine exams and early care are essential to avoid complications.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy causes tingling, burning, or numbness in the feet, often from diabetes or nerve injury. Managing symptoms early prevents worsening pain and imbalance.
Structural Deformities
Structural issues can affect how your feet support your body, often leading to chronic foot pain. We diagnose and treat these deformities to improve alignment and comfort.
Bunions
A bunion is a painful bump at the base of the big toe that can make shoes uncomfortable. We offer both conservative and surgical solutions.
Hammertoes
Hammertoes develop when a toe bends abnormally at the joint, causing pressure and pain. Treatments include padding, splints, and correction procedures.
Flat Feet
Flat feet cause the arch to collapse, leading to fatigue and discomfort. Custom orthotics and supportive footwear help relieve pain and improve function.
Cavus Foot and High Arches
High arches increase pressure on the heel and ball of the foot. Our team offers custom support and treatment for long-term relief.
Bone Spurs
Bone spurs are bony overgrowths that form due to stress or arthritis, leading to stiffness and foot pain. Treatment focuses on pain management and improving treatment.
Joint and Inflammatory Disorders
Joint inflammation can limit movements and cause chronic foot and ankle pain. Our podiatrist creates treatment plans to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Bursitis
When small fluid sacs (bursae) near joints become irritated, they can cause swelling and pain. Conservative care often brings quick relief.
Arthritis
Arthritis in the feet and ankles causes stiffness and swelling, making movement painful. Early treatment can help maintain flexibility and reduce flare-ups.
Gout
Gout is a form of arthritis that causes sudden, intense foot pain, usually in the big toe. We help patients manage symptoms and prevent future attacks.
