Improper footing is a common source of foot discomfort. Foot issues that don't fit properly might get worse and in some cases even start them. The skin and joints of the feet can avoid discomfort with shoes that fit well and provide adequate support. The nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, heels, toes, and other structures of the foot can all be impacted by a variety of foot issues. Some common causes of foot pain are:
Injury - Acute injuries include those that develop quickly, such as an Achilles tendon rupture, a foot fracture, or an ankle sprain. Occasionally, repetitive, long-term use combined with stress from an accident can result in chronic problems like tendinitis.
Anomalies - There are several factors that can cause foot abnormalities including bunions, hammertoes, claw toes, and bone spurs, including heredity, walking style, and footwear.
Diabetes - While nerve damage can occur everywhere in the body due to high blood sugar levels, it most frequently occurs in the feet and legs. Foot ulcers can develop as a result of high blood sugar.
Wearing improperly sized shoes - Depending on how they fit and distribute pressure, the shoes we choose can have a significant effect on how our feet feel.
Bacteria, fungus, viruses, or infections - Infectious disorders including warts, athlete's foot, and fungal nail infections are a few instances that can cause foot pain.
Arthritis - All of the many joints in our feet and ankles may be prone to the development of arthritis. Some people might have everyday discomfort from arthritis, which has been linked to past injuries, bone spurs, ordinary wear and tear, and more.
