There are many possible reasons for your foot pain. Together, your feet contain almost 25% of your body’s bones, as well as 60 joints and more than 200 muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
You can have problems anywhere in your foot, and it’s not unusual to have multiple issues at the same time. Some of the most common causes of foot pain include:
There are a number of other reasons for foot pain as well. You can have foot pain because of chronic disease, trauma, repetitive use, overuse, and for many other reasons. No matter what kind of foot pain you have, the Foot Healers team can help.
First, stop whatever you’re doing and rest your foot. Prop it up with pillows so it’s elevated to heart level, and apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel to ease the pain. You can also take over-the-counter medication as a temporary pain relief measure.
Call the Foot Healers office nearest you for guidance about the next steps. The team respects their patients and understands that you need prompt care. They schedule carefully so you don’t have to wait for help.
Every condition has different treatments, and your Foot Healers podiatrist personalizes your care. Some of the many nonsurgical treatment options available on-site include:
If conservative care doesn’t diminish your foot pain, or if you have a complex foot deformity, you may need foot surgery. The podiatric surgeons at Foot Healers specialize in minimally invasive surgery to reduce your downtime and discomfort during recovery.
