The main reason for a poor success rate, is that the foot gets put back into that dark moist environment that the infecting fungus just love. A treatment getting some recent publicity is

Sinus Tarsi Syndrome

Sinus tarsi syndrome in runners can be one of two sorts of problems. Sinus tarsi syndrome can follow an ankle sprain as a chronic problem. The sinus tarsi is the gap between the talus and calcaneus bones in the rearfoot and the ligaments between them can get strained during an ankle sprain and not get initially noticed and only diagnosed at a later date as the initial injury settles down. This

Sinus Tarsi Syndrome

Ankle joint strains are an ever more prevalent problem, specifically in people who enjoy sport activity and may put the competitor out of competing for a few weeks or even more. The commonest form of rearfoot sprain certainly is the inversion twist when a person roll in an outward direction with the ankle joint. This injuries or rips the structures externally at the rearfoot. Good rehabilitation and treatment will mean that there ought to be an on the spot using ice and also the ankle joint can

Sinus Tarsi Syndrome

A chronic pain on the outside of the ankle joint could be sinus tarsi syndrome. The sinus tarsi is a tunnel between the two bones in the rearfoot (the talus and calcaneus). It carries ligaments, blood vessels and nerves.

Sinus tarsi syndrome in runners can be caused by one of two things:
1. During an inversion ankle sprain, the structures in the sinus tarsi can get strained. Often this is not diagnosed until the initial acute ankle sprain has resolved
2. A foot that is maximally pronated

Sinus Tarsi Syndrome

This is a common problem in athletes. Sinus tarsi syndrome generally occurs in two situations that are almost opposite to each other. One is that the structures in the sinus tarsi can be damaged during an inversion ankle sprain. Often this problem goes undetected until some of the original ankle sprain settles. The other condition is an excessively flat or pronated foot that pushes the subtalar joint to its end range of motion and compresses the tissues in the sinus tarsi. In both cases there

Plantar Fasciitis and Diabetes

Plantar fasciitis may actually be quite common in those with diabetes. One of the main risk factors for plantar fasciitis is being overweight, which is obviously a common problem in type two diabetes. A common feature of plantar fasciitis is a thickening of the plantar fascia on ultrasound. Those with well-established diabetes have also been shown to have a thickened plantar fascia. Also common in those with diabetes is a glycation of the collagen, which would further put the tissues as

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is probably the most common cause of heel pain in adults by a significant margin. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation or degeneration of the long ligament (the plantar fascia) that hold up the arch of the foot. The most common symptom of plantar fasciitis is pain at the bottom of the heel that is worse when getting up from rest, particularly getting out of bed first thing in the morning. Plantar fasciitis can result in those first few steps being very difficult and painful.

Plantar fasciitis is an overuse injury of this structure. It is more of a degeneration of the tissues rather than an ‘-itis’ (ie an inflammation), but plantar fasciitis is the common name. The main cause of plantar fasciitis is anything that increases the load in the plantar fascia. In
