Foot pain can occur in various areas, including the heel, arch, toes, and ball of the foot. Common causes include plantar fasciitis, which affects the heel and arch due to overstressed ligaments, bunions, causing pain at the base of the big toe, and metatarsalgia, which leads to pain in the ball of the foot from high-impact activities or ill-fitting shoes. Conditions like Achilles tendinitis, flat feet, and arthritis can also contribute to discomfort in different parts of the foot. Managing foot pain depends on the cause. Wearing supportive footwear and rest is the beginning of relieving pain from overuse or minor injuries. For persistent or severe pain, it is suggested that you visit a chiropodist for a diagnosis of any underlying problem and treatments to alleviate symptoms and restore function.
