Foot and ankle pain can quickly disrupt daily routines—whether you’re an athlete, a parent on the go, or simply enjoy long walks. While occasional soreness is normal, persistent or severe pain may signal a more serious condition. At OrthoCare360, our team is dedicated to identifying the source of discomfort and guiding patients to relief.
Common Causes of Foot and Ankle Pain
Everyday causes can include overuse from exercise, improper footwear, or extended standing. Conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, sprains, or stress fractures are frequent culprits behind ongoing pain.
Sports and Work-Related Injuries
Athletes and active workers often put significant strain on their feet and ankles. Repetitive impact may lead to ligament injuries or cartilage wear, making early evaluation important to avoid long-term complications.
When Pain Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Red flags include swelling that doesn’t subside, pain that worsens with rest, or difficulty bearing weight. These signs suggest that medical evaluation may be needed to prevent further damage.
