Have you ever experienced that sharp, stabbing pain in your foot that makes every step feel like a challenge? Or perhaps a dull, persistent ache that just won’t go away? Foot pain is a common complaint that can significantly impact your quality of life by limiting your ability to work, exercise, and even enjoy simple activities like walking or standing. Physical therapy offers effective, non-invasive solutions to alleviate foot pain, improve function, and get you back on your feet this summer. Common Causes of Foot Pain Understanding the root cause of your foot pain is an important part of finding effective treatment. Let’s explore five of the most common foot pain conditions. Plantar Fasciitis This condition involves degeneration of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. It often causes heel pain, particularly in the morning or after periods of rest. Risk factors include obesity, high-arched feet, and activities that put excessive stress on the feet.

Metatarsalgia This refers to pain in the ball of your foot, often caused by overuse, high- impact activities, or wearing ill-fitting shoes. Symptoms may include sharp or burning pain, numbness, or tingling in the toes. Achilles Tendinitis This condition involves inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It often causes pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle, especially during or after activity. Foot Sprains These injuries occur when the ligaments that support your foot joints are stretched or torn, typically due to a sudden twisting or rolling motion. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, and instability. Arthritis This degenerative joint disease can affect any joint in your foot, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Risk factors include age, previous injuries, and family history.

RUNNING TO FOOT PAIN RELIEF
A woman in her 40s came to our clinic complaining of persistent heel pain that had been bothering her for several months. The pain was particularly intense in the morning, making it difficult for her to even get out of bed. After a thorough evaluation, our physical therapist diagnosed her with plantar fasciitis. Her active lifestyle and love for running had put excessive stress on her feet, leading to plantar fasciitis. The pain had significantly impacted her life, forcing her to give up running and other activities she enjoyed. We created a treatment plan that included a combination of pain management techniques, strengthening exercises, and a gradual return to activity. Pain Management Initially, we focused on reducing her pain and restoring mobility in the foot and calf through manual therapy techniques, proper recovery routines, and mobility exercises. Strengthening Exercises As her pain subsided, we introduced exercises to strengthen the muscles in her feet and calves for proper support and to reduce stress on the plantar fascia. Return to Activity We gradually reintroduced her running routine, starting with shorter distances and lower intensity. We also educated her on proper footwear, warm-up and cool-down routines, and injury prevention strategies. Over the course of several weeks, she experienced significant improvement in her pain and function. Best of all, she was able to resume her running routine and other activities she enjoyed with minimal discomfort.
