Foot / Ankle Pain & Discomfort
Foot and ankle pain can be caused by a variety of factors including overuse, injuries, or underlying medical conditions. Common causes include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, sprains, fractures, arthritis, gout, and infections. Treatment options vary depending on the cause but may include rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), physical therapy, medications for pain and inflammation, orthotic devices, or surgery in severe cases.
