I had a few podiatry treatments done out of 10. The male and female nurses are very good. 25/2 nurse Rochelle recommended the tape on me after the treatment which I felt extremely wonderful. I felt my knees like nothing had happened. Walking very comfortably with the tape after treatment.

I visited East Podiatry in Novena about three months ago as I was experiencing sharp pain on my left heel. It was affecting my running and walking. During my first consultation, Jordan accurately diagnosed the condition as Achilles tendonitis and recommended a shock wave therapy.. fast forward that three months later, the pain has dissipated. I am now able to resume my running. Jordan is very helpful and attuned to his patients' needs. I am a barefoot runner and he acknowledged that switching to regular shoes will not do me any good. I appreciate his frank advice. He also recommended exercises to help me with strengthening my toes and plantar muscles so as to prevent the Achilles tendonitis from recurring. His assistant, Ashley performed the shock wave treatment with precision and skills, as well. Overall, I am very happy with the treatment and service.

Great experience at East Coast Podiatry (Orchard)! Had a persistent nail fungus issue over the last couple of years and it was solved so quickly and efficiently with the team. My podiatrist - Ms Peggy explained and assessed my condition in great detail, and recommended me the follow up actions required to get the issue all treated. Was an overall superb and pleasant treatment experience 🙂

We have been with Gerorgina for my daughter in-toes and flat foot issue. Gone through a thorough treatment, exercises, feet braces and we can see massive improvement in my daughter's posture and feet.
Georgina and the staff have been very helpful and making every visit smooth and pleasant. Keep up the good work!

Our 6-year-old son had very severe in-toeing when we first visited Dr. Michael in October 2024. We’re incredibly thankful for his expertise—after just 8 months of treatment, our son is now very close to having an ideal foot structure.
What we appreciated most was the all-in-one pricing—it covered everything from braces to follow-ups, making the treatment both convenient and great value for money. The clinic’s location in Orchard is also a big plus for accessibility. Highly recommend Dr. Michael, especially for concerned parents dealing with pediatric foot issues!

Bump-on-Your-Big

What That Bump on Your Big Toe Really Means

You may have noticed a bony bump forming on the side of your big toe. Known as a bunion, or hallux valgus, this condition often signals a structural imbalance in your foot. Although it may initially appear harmless, a bunion can gradually impact your foot’s natural movement and add strain to nearby areas. Over time, inflammation from this misalignment can lead to persistent pain, making daily activities like walking or even standing feel challenging.

What are the Common Causes of Bunion?

Bunions and bunionettes form gradually due to ongoing pressure on the toe joints. A bunion develops when the big toe leans toward the second toe, creating a bump near the big toe joint. A bunionette develops in a similar way at the base of the little toe, along the outer side of the foot.

  • Foot Shape: Certain inherited foot structures can increase bunion risk.
  • Poorly Fitting Shoes: Tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes contribute to pressure and deformity.
  • Genetics: Family history plays a significant role in predisposition.
  • Medical Conditions: Arthritis and other health issues can affect joint integrity.
  • Physical Activities: Repetitive stress or certain sports may exacerbate symptoms.

Recognising-Bunion-Signs

Symptoms Checklist 

Bunions can cause a range of symptoms that affect your comfort and mobility. Recognising these signs early is important for effective management and preventing further discomfort. Here are some of the most frequent symptoms to watch out for.

  • Visible bony bump at the base of the big toe (1st MTP joint).
  • Stiffness or discomfort in the big toe joint.
  • Aching or throbbing pain, especially during movement or bending of the toe.
  • Swelling and redness, inflammation.
  • Corns or calluses from friction caused by tight footwear.
  • Possible development of hammer toes in other toes.

Early intervention is key. Speak with our podiatrists to accurately identify any underlying structural issues.
