Why Are My Feet In Pain?
You may be experiencing foot pain for a variety of reasons. An injury to the foot may result in pain that is minor to excruciating.
While some foot pain may occur suddenly due to acute injury, it can also develop over time due to a chronic underlying condition. According to the Mayo Clinic, there are several common causes of foot pain, including, but not limited to the following:
Fractures
A fracture occurs from excessive force or trauma to the bone, causing it to crack or break entirely. A fracture to the foot or ankle could result in weeks of downtime to ensure proper healing.
Bursitis
Bursitis occurs when the tendons rub against the “bursae” or anti-friction sacs, causing them to become irritated and uncomfortable. This condition can also occur in a person’s elbow, shoulder, and hip, although the foot and heel are most commonly affected.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a very common inflammatory condition that affects the joints and results in pain. The most common types include osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Both types of arthritis can greatly impact the foot and ankle joints. Arthritis can also affect anyone at any age.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
This occurs when the tarsal tunnel (the nerve that runs from the ankle to the foot) becomes pinched and painfully inflamed. Symptoms include sharp, shooting pains, feelings of “pins and needles” and burning sensations in the feet.
Tendinitis
Overuse of the tendons can lead to tendonitis, which causes them to become inflamed over a lengthy period. Tendinitis can make even simple things difficult, like reaching for a glass on the top shelf of a cabinet. This condition can become chronic and brutally painful over time, compounding the problem.
Strains and sprains
Sprains and strains happen often, and oftentimes, they get confused with each other! A sprain occurs when a ligament is stretched too far or torn, while a strain occurs when a muscle or tendon is overstretched. Both of these injuries should be checked out by a medical professional to ensure no lasting damage will occur.
Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis happens when the connective tissue on the bottom of the feet becomes inflamed. This can occur from aggravated overuse, such as constant standing, improper posture, or footwear that lacks proper arch support.
Fallen arches
The arch of your foot is formed by several tendons that work together. Your foot will form a proper arch when the tendons pull together properly. Your foot will form a very small arch or no arch at all if the tendons do not pull together properly. This is known as a “fallen arch” or “flat foot,” and it can result in pain or discomfort over time.
Fortunately, physiotherapy has been shown to help with the rehabilitation of injured feet as well as the relief of acute and chronic pain.

Reasons For Chronic Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle discomfort can be caused by a variety of situations in your life. A foot or ankle injury can be excruciatingly painful, making it difficult to bear weight on the affected area. Even modest discomfort can cause physical limits in your day-to-day activities.
Ankle pain can strike quickly as a result of an injury or build over time as a result of chronic underlying issues. Ankle discomfort can be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to:
Fractures
If you break one of the 3 bones in your ankle (tibia, fibula, or talus), you will experience ankle pain. A fracture to the ankle could result in weeks of downtime to ensure proper healing
Arthritis
Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints and causes discomfort. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the most frequent forms. Both types of arthritis can have a significant influence on the ankle joints and can affect people of all ages.
Bursitis
Bursitis occurs when the tendons rub against the “bursae” or anti-friction sacs, causing Flat Feet. While having flat feet is usually painless, it can cause your ankles to hurt or swell if your feet are not in line with your knees.
Chronic lateral ankle pain
If the outside of your ankle hurts, this could be due to a previous injury that didn’t heal correctly. The less stable your ankle joints are, the more they hurt.
Achilles Tendinitis
A sudden strain in the Achilles tendon can cause tiny tears, and can result in inflammation at the back of your ankle. It is important that your Achilles tendon heals with rest, or scar tissue may occur, causing the need for surgery.
Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect any part of your body, including your ankles.
Strained Ankle
Sprains and strains happen frequently, and they are often confused with one another! A sprain happens when a ligament is overstretched or torn, whereas a strain happens when a muscle or tendon is overstretched. Both of these injuries should be examined by a medical practitioner to ensure there is no long-term damage.
Fortunately, Beyond Physiotherapy has been shown to help with the rehabilitation of injured extremities as well as the relief of acute and chronic pain.
