A Closer Look at Foot Pain
There are many conditions and injuries that may contribute to foot problems and pain. Here are some of the more common ones we see:
Flat Feet
Flat feet place extra strain on your feet and ankles, which may lead to discomfort or fatigue with daily activity.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis causes sharp heel pain, especially in the morning or after rest, due to irritation of the plantar fascia.
Sports Injuries
Sprains, strains, and fractures may develop through sport or exercise, often leading to localised pain or swelling.
Bunions
Bunions occur when the big toe shifts out of alignment, which may cause pain, swelling, or difficulty wearing certain shoes.
Arthritis
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis may lead to stiffness, swelling, and joint pain during daily movement.
Infections
Skin and nail infections may cause pain, redness, or swelling and often benefit from early treatment.
