Foot Pain – Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment at Emirates Hospital Group

Foot pain can stem from various sources, impacting daily activities and mobility.

Causes of Foot Pain

  1. Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue supporting the arch, often causes heel and bottom-of-foot pain, especially during the first steps in the morning.
  2. Achilles Tendinitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, located at the back of the ankle, results in pain and stiffness, commonly associated with overuse or strain.
  3. Flat Feet or Fallen Arches: Insufficient arch support may lead to foot pain, as the entire sole bears more weight, causing strain on ligaments and muscles.
  4. Metatarsalgia: Pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot, often caused by high-impact activities or ill-fitting footwear, characterize this condition.
  5. Bunions: Enlarged, misaligned joints at the base of the big toe can cause pain and discomfort, aggravated by pressure from shoes.
  6. Gout: A form of arthritis, gout involves the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, frequently causing intense pain, commonly affecting the big toe.
  7. Peripheral Neuropathy: Nerve damage, often due to conditions like diabetes, may lead to pain, tingling, or numbness in the feet.
  8. Stress Fractures: Microscopic fractures from overuse or repetitive impact can cause localized foot pain.

Consulting with a healthcare professional is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and tailored management plan addressing the specific cause of foot pain.
