5-Star-Rated Foot Care For Women In Suffolk, Hampton, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Newport News, Carrollton, Smithfield, Norfolk & Virginia Beach, VA

suffolk foot doctors for womens foot care Women love shoes! Unfortunately, that love for shoes, along with some biological factors, can sometimes cause women to have more foot pain than men. In addition to wearing high heels, women may also experience swelling and foot pain due to pregnancy and hormonal changes. Valuing fashion over comfort and properly fitting shoes can increase your chances for developing a foot condition. Happily, we offer you fashionable and supportive options in The Shoe Fits, our on-site shoe stores in Suffolk and North Suffolk, VA.

At 1Foot2Foot Centre for Foot and Ankle Care in Suffolk, VA, we understand the foot pain that women experience. Our goal is to help alleviate your foot pain, without sacrificing fashion wherever possible. Below, you can read further about the common conditions associated with women’s foot pain that we treat at 1Foot2Foot.

Bunions

A bunion is a bump that forms at the base of the big toe. They can cause pain in your joints and decrease mobility. Both genetics and mechanical instabilities play a significant role in developing a bunion. Women’s bunions create more discomfort and pain due to aggravation caused by narrow fitting shoes, but our award-winning foot doctors in Suffolk, North Suffolk and Hampton, VA, are here to help you permanently get rid of your bunions.

Hammertoes

Women get hammertoes for various reasons. Hammertoes are commonly caused by genetics, nerve damage, and poor foot alignment. Finding shoes that fit perfectly for women can be challenging. Women can find themselves squeezing into shoes that are too small for their feet, which creates an ideal environment for hammertoes to form. If hammertoes have formed, our award-winning foot doctors in Suffolk, North Suffolk, and Hampton, VA, can help. If hammertoes haven’t formed, you should visit our Suffolk and North Suffolk shoe store, The Shoe Fits, to ensure you have properly fitting shoes.

Neuromas

Neuroma occurs when a nerve in the ball of your foot becomes inflamed. This is caused from continuous compression of the nerve located between the bones. Improper footwear is a huge culprit here! Wearing shoes that are too narrow will squeeze your foot and cause irritation. Inflammation in your nerve can lead to burning and tingling sensations. By seeing a shoe-fitting specialist at The Shoe Fits, you can ensure you are wearing properly fitted footwear.

Achilles Tendinitis

The Achilles tendon connects the calf to the heel bone. Women often neglect the support they need for their feet when they wear high heels, boots, flip flops, and other types of shoes. This tends to place more stress on your tendon, causing you pain. Getting an assessment done with one of our award-winning foot doctors in Suffolk, North Suffolk, and Hampton, VA, can help you determine if you suffer from Achilles Tendinitis. You should be living your life without any pain.

Stress Fractures

Most women are always on the go! Combine this with shoes that have too little absorption, and you increase your chances of developing a stress fracture. High heels, flats, and flip flops provide little support against hard floors or outdoor pavement. Women are at higher risk of getting stress fractures from physical activity and low bone mass, which also becomes more apparent after menopause.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings change to hormones and a woman’s body. It is important to care properly for your feet during this time. If you are or have been pregnant, you’ve probably experienced swelling in your legs and feet or aching in your strained arches. Find shoes that fit comfortably throughout your pregnancy, remember to trim your toenails, and rest whenever possible. During pregnancy, you can also develop plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis. Our award-winning foot doctors in Suffolk, North Suffolk, and Hampton, VA, can help you find relief throughout your pregnancy.

Our team in the Stems Spa assist in maintaining comfortable, healthy feet with massages and pedicures to keep your feet happy!

“I've been both a patient of 1Foot 2Foot with Dr. Dairman and a client at Stems Spa. I can honestly say - WOW! I never thought I'd be proud to show my feet until now. Dr. D. fixed by heel pain and a pretty bad bunion. I can barely see the scar! The pedicures are simply amazing - AND CLEAN! Proud to have them in Suffolk! Thanks guys.”

- Stephie
“Dr. Dairman and his staff are wonderful. I went from dreading to even stand-up to out walking for exercise again. So happy with the improvement in my foot! Thank you 1Foot 2Foot.”

- Cindy R.
“I purchased many Dr. Scholl's supports, went to an orthopedic who sent me to therapy. Six months later I was no better. A friend told me about 1Foot 2Foot and Dr. Dairman. Within 2 weeks I was back to my activities with little pain. Within 4 weeks, I'm pain-free. How he did it, I don't know, but I now send all my friends and family to 1Foot 2Foot.”

- Barbara
“Thanks to 1Foot 2Foot, six months after my husband had major foot surgery, he is up to running three miles with no foot or ankle pain!!”

- Lee M.
“I was greeted by a friendly receptionist, taken back promptly by a friendly assistant, and seen by a podiatrist who was comfortable, confident, and yes, friendly. He explained my problem (neuroma), offered several treatment options and said with a smile "I can fix that." He gave me a steroid injection and I left his office without pain. I haven't had pain since.”

- tgreenleaf
“Almost 4 months after surgery and all is still well. On Monday of this week I had 4 patients of my own to see in our outpatient surgery department. I went up and down the flight of stairs to surgery a total of 9 times that day. Was I tired at the end of the day? You bet! Did my foot and heel give me any problems? None at all!!!! Thanks again for pain free walking.”
