Most people will develop a wart at least once in their lifetime. Although there are different types of warts, those that develop on the soles of your feet and toes are called plantar warts.  

Plantar warts are the result of a highly contagious viral infection of the skin—in this case, the invader is the human papillomavirus (HPV).  

The virus enters the skin when we walk barefoot in common areas such as pools, gyms, spas, locker rooms, and hotel rooms. Any small crack, injury, or weakness in the surface of the skin is a viable entry point, whether you can see it or not. 

As a podiatrist, I specialize in the care and treatment of the feet and ankles. In the last decade, I have seen firsthand that the incidence of heel pain in our general population has reached epidemic proportions. One out of four Americans will experience some form of heel pain in their lives. Don’t wait until the pain is so bad that you can’t even walk or function normally. After noticing all of this, I decided to create this publication for you so you can understand the causes of heel pain, and the best treatments available to you. There is no need to suffer with heel pain, at Foot, Ankle, & Leg Center we will make sure to get you back on your feet!
