At the Perfect Balance Clinic we see many patients with foot pain and know how debilitating it can be. It is so common in fact that at any given moment, approximately one-quarter of the population will be experiencing it. Foot pain has many triggers, and you may be able to get an idea of what condition is causing it by the location of the pain in your foot.
The most common types of foot pain and conditions which we see in our clinic and successfully treat are...
Plantar Fasciitis - a common cause of heel and arch pain
If you have this condition, you will be experiencing pain around the heel area, and this pain will be much worse when starting to walk after having been in bed or after sitting for a long period of time.
The “Plantar Fascia” is an elastic ligamentous band that attaches from the heel bone to the toes. It supports the arch of the foot and acts as a shock absorber during walking. The condition Plantar Fasciitis involves micro-tears to the plantar fascia when it is over-stretched.
Heel Spurs - another cause of heel pain
Heel spurs are abnormal bone growths on the bottom of the heel. Lots of people have them but they don’t always cause pain. People with flat feet or high arches will probably experience pain from heel spurs. The heel pain will be felt while walking and standing. There are a number of causes, from wearing ill-fitting shoes, to abnormal posture and gait (manner of walking). They can also be caused by running.
Find The Best Option For You
Nerve Pain
This is a common cause of painful feet and can be caused by a pinched nerve or by diabetes. Nerve pain is commonly described as burning, aching, tingling, or similar to an electric shock. The pain may be worse during activities such as walking. It may affect both feet or just one of them, and there may also be muscle weakness in the area affected.
Generalised Foot Pain
Foot pain in general can be caused by any number of things, from injury, overuse or inflammation, and can affect any one of the many bones, tendons and ligaments of the foot. That is why you need a specialist diagnosis and treatment plan.
