Highlights
Treatment for Ingrown Toenail:
- Orthonyxia, a surgical technique that implants a small metal brace into the top of the nail, was as effective as traditional surgical techniques for preventing ingrown toenail from recurring, according to one study.
- A nonsurgical method for treating ingrown toenail with chemicals uses either sodium hydroxide or phenol, but one study shows that sodium hydroxide procedures have a better outcome and faster recovery than phenol procedures.
Treatment for Forefoot Pain:
- Ultrasound-guided injection of alcohol might provide relief from Morton's neuroma, according to one study. Symptoms improved in 94% of patients who had the treatment, a success rate comparable to that of surgery.
Treatment for Heel Pain:
- NSAIDs reduce pain and disability in people with plantar fasciitis when used with other techniques, such as night splints and stretching.
- Studies show that extracorporeal shockwave therapy provides a very small reduction in heel pain without side effects. It may be a good option for patients who haven't responded well to conservative treatment.
Work-related Foot Problems:
- An estimated 120,000 job-related foot injuries occur every year, about a third of them involving the toes.

Common Causes
The most frequent causes of heel pain are not single injuries, such as a fall or twist, but repetitive or excessive heel pounding.
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick connective tissue on the sole of your foot that attaches to your heel. The pain is usually felt at the bottom of your heel and is often worse in the morning because of stiffness that occurs overnight.

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Definition
Carpal tunnel release is surgery to treat carpal tunnel syndrome -- pain and weakness in the hand caused by pressure on the median nerve at the wrist.
Description
The carpal tunnel is composed of two "walls" -- the deep wall is the bones of the wrist and the superficial wall is a thick ligament located just under the skin on the palm side of the wrist. The median nerve and the tendons that flex the fingers to form a fist pass through this tunnel.
