Foot Pain

Foot pain can arise from various conditions, impacting daily life significantly. Some of the most common causes include plantar fasciitis, bunions, arthritis, and overuse injuries. Each condition has its unique symptoms and treatments but all can lead to discomfort and restricted movement. Conditions like plantar fasciitis typically cause sharp heel pain, while bunions may result in swelling and redness at the joint of the big toe. Arthritis can affect joint flexibility and overuse injuries often occur due to repetitive stress on the foot.

Impact on Daily Activities

The discomfort from foot pain can hinder everyday activities, including walking, running, or even standing for prolonged periods. This limitation doesn’t just affect physical health; it can also impact mental well-being. Chronic pain can lead to frustration, reduced mobility, and an overall decrease in the quality of life.
