Common Podiatry Conditions in Pregnant Women
During pregnancy your muscles have to work harder through the day, and this coupled with an increase in your weight, can commonly cause the following;
- Restless leg syndrome
- Night cramps
- General foot and ankle pain
- Heel pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Dry, cracked heels
- Calluses
- Pain in the ball of your foot
- Swelling and oedema
- ‘Hot feet’
- Varicose veins
- Warts
- Ingrown toenails
If you suffer from any of the conditions mentioned above, we highly recommend that you see one of our podiatrists at Elite Podiatry for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate treatment.
Please note that treatment during pregnancy is perfectly safe and it is vital that you keep you and your feet in the best condition possible.
