Understanding the Common Causes of Foot Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To provide the most effective treatment for your foot pain, it\u2019s important that we get at the pain\u2019s source. Once the physiotherapists at Evidence Sport and Spine know what\u2019s causing your pain, we can identify the best course of treatment to address your unique needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the most common sources of persistent foot pain:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Plantar Fasciitis<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes. When it becomes inflamed, it can cause sharp pain in the heel. Our clinicians have found Shockwave therapy<\/a> to be an effective treatment for plantar fasciitis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Bunion<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

These bony protrusions are commonly found at the base of the big toe joint, causing the big toe to angle inward, leading to pain, swelling, and discomfort.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Metatarsalgia<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

This condition refers to pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot. Overuse, improper footwear, or high-impact activities are all common causes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stress Fractures<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

These tiny cracks in the bones of the foot can develop from the repetitive impact of running or other high-impact activities. They cause localized pain and tenderness, often in the metatarsal bones (the long bones in the middle of the foot) or the heel bone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Flat Feet<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

A condition occurs when the foot arch collapses or is underdeveloped, potentially leading to pain and discomfort in the feet, ankles, or lower leg.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

High Arches<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

An excessively high arch of the foot can cause pain, instability, and increased pressure on the ball and heel of the foot.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hammertoes<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

This condition refers to an abnormal bending of one or more toe joints, creating an unusual appearance and painful pressure points.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tarsal tunnel syndrome<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

The tarsal tunnel is a groove for a nerve that runs from the lower leg down to the foot. If that nerve is irritated or pinched, it can lead to often-debilitating pain and inflammation. Common symptoms include sharp, shooting pain, tingling and numbness, or a burning sensation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Morton’s Neuroma<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

This condition refers to a thickening of the tissue around the nerve that goes to your toes. This can cause sharp pain, numbness, and\/or tingling in the ball of the foot.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finding Foot Pain Relief with Physiotherapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our physiotherapists conduct a comprehensive evaluation to understand the root cause of your discomfort and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition, symptoms, and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At your initial appointment, our physiotherapists will thoroughly review your symptoms and health history, then perform a comprehensive, hands-on assessment to identify any structural or functional issues. We\u2019ll perform relevant testing of your range of motion, strength, proprioception\/balance, gait (how you walk), and joint stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do we go in-depth in our assessment? Because it gives us a complete understanding of your condition, helping us to identify any injuries or impairments that may contribute to your foot pain. From there, we can customize a treatment plan around your exact needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
