Foot, Heel &
Ankle Pain
Foot and heel pain can severely impact your quality of life, making every step a challenge. Whether it’s a sharp, stabbing sensation in the morning or a persistent, dull ache at the end of the day, this pain can prevent you from enjoying your favorite activities.
At Infinite Podiatry, we understand how debilitating foot and heel pain can be. Our goal is to accurately diagnose the root cause of your discomfort and provide a personalised treatment plan to get you back on your feet pain free.
Common Causes of Foot Heel and Ankle Heel Pain
Foot and heel pain can stem from a variety of conditions. An accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Common causes include:
Plantar Fasciitis: The most frequent cause of heel pain, this condition involves inflammation of the plantar fascia tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. It often causes a sharp, “first-step” pain in the morning.
Achilles Tendinitis: An overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, causing pain at the back of the heel.
Ankle Sprains: Can lead to chronic instability, joint stiffness and post traumatic arthritis.
Heel Spurs: A bony growth on the heel bone, often associated with plantar fasciitis.
Stress Fractures: Tiny cracks in a bone, most commonly from repetitive stress or overuse.
Bunions and Hammertoes: Pain and discomfort in the front of the foot caused by bone deformities.
Neuroma: A pinched nerve in the ball of the foot, causing a sharp, burning pain, tingling, or numbness.
Arthritis: Inflammation of the joints in the foot or ankle.
