What is causing your foot pain?
Foot pain is a common ailment that can affect your heel, toes, arch, or ball of your foot. It can be a sharp, shooting pain, a dull ache, or a burning sensation. Because your feet are complex structures that bear your body's weight, they are susceptible to a wide variety of injuries and conditions.
Common Causes of Foot Pain
Foot pain can be caused by many factors, including injuries, overuse, ill-fitting shoes, and underlying medical conditions like arthritis or diabetes. Identifying the exact cause is the first step toward effective relief.
Common Symptoms Associated With Foot Pain
- Pain in the heel, arch, ball of the foot, or toes.
- Stiffness, swelling, or redness in the affected area.
- Difficulty walking, standing, or bearing weight on the foot.

When Should You See a Podiatrist for Foot Pain?
- Your pain is severe or persistent.
- You have swelling that doesn't improve after a few days.
