Why Do My Feet Hurt?
You may be experiencing foot pain for a variety of reasons. An injury to the foot may result in pain that is minor or excruciating. Finding foot pain relief for these conditions doesn't have to involve pricey surgeries or medications. You can try physical therapy first!
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 conditions:
Fallen arches
The arch of your foot is formed by several tendons working together. Your foot will form a proper arch when the tendons pull together properly. If the tendons do not pull together properly, your foot will form a very small arch or no arch at all. This is known as a “fallen arch” or “flat foot,” and it can result in pain or discomfort over time.
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 anti-friction sacs called “bursae”, causing them to become irritated and uncomfortable. This condition can also occur in your 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 causes pain in the foot. The most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Both types of arthritis can greatly impact the foot and ankle joints. Arthritis can also affect anyone at any age.
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 walking to the end of the driveway to check the mail. 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.
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.
Fortunately, physical therapy has been shown to help with the rehabilitation of injured feet as well as the relief of acute and chronic pain.
