Foot pain can be caused due to various reasons. However, in most cases, it may occur as an acute or chronic injury due to underlying conditions or excessive overuse. At Granville Physiotherapy & Sports Clinic, we can help you find an effective solution to address your condition naturally.

Some of the common causes of foot pain include;

Bursitis : Bursitis is a condition that occurs when the tendons rub against anti-friction sacs known as bursae, causing the foot to become uncomfortable and irritated. This condition can also occur in the shoulder, elbow, and hip.

Fracture : Fractures may occur from severe force or trauma to the bone, leading to bone damage such as cracking or breaking. When a fracture to the foot happens, a patient may take weeks to complete healing.

Tendinitis : Tendinitis is very common in patients who overuse their tendons. When tendinitis occurs, the tendons become inflamed; as a result, performing simple activities becomes very difficult. In several cases, a patient suffering from this condition suffers intense and excruciating pain consistently.

Arthritis : Arthritis is a well-known inflammatory condition affecting joints, causing pain and discomfort. Arthritis is of two types, namely rheumatoid articles and osteoarthritis. When any arthritis occurs, you might notice a significant decline in the proper functioning of the foot joints.

Plantar Fasciitis : Plantar fasciitis occurs when connective tissue present at the end of the foot is inflamed. This condition is due to improper posture, constant standing, or wearing footwear with poor arch support.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome : Tarsal tunnel syndrome happens when the nerve that runs from the ankle to the foot becomes inflamed, painful, and pinched., Some of the symptoms associated with this condition include; shooting pains and sharp and burning sensations in the foot.

Strains and Sprains : Strain occurs when the tendons or muscles are stretched more than their limit. At the same time, a sprain happens when the ligaments are stretched beyond their limit. Strain and sprain most occur from injuries.

Fallen Arches : The foot arch is made up of various tendons that function together. A proper arch is formed at the foot when the tendons pull together. However, if the tendons do not pull together as needed, you will form a flat foot or fallen arch, leading to pain and discomfort.
