10 Causes of Bottom-of-Foot Pain and Their Treatment
Pain on the bottom of your foot can be due to your activities, such as jobs that keep you on your feet or sports like running.1 The structure of your foot or the shoes you wear also can contribute to symptoms of shooting or aching pain. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the sole of your foot, or neuropathy (nerve damage) due to an underlying condition like diabetes, often lead to foot pain
Foot Anatomy and Causes of Pain
The foot is a complex structure made up of 28 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles, over 100 tendons and ligaments, and thousands of nerve endings. These work together to allow you to walk, run, maintain balance, absorb impact, and bear upper body weight
Intra-articular corticosteroid injections for the treatment of people with foot and ankle osteoarthritis: a systematic review
Intra-articular corticosteroid injections are commonly used in the management of foot and ankle OA. Although current clinical guidelines advocate the judicious use of corticosteroid injection as an adjunct therapy, none of these recommendations are specific to the foot and ankle. Therefore, the aim of this review is to examine the effectiveness of intra-articular corticosteroid injections in people with foot or ankle OA.
Everything you need to know about ankle injuries
Runners are, unfortunately, often prone to ankle injuries. But despite despite how many people suffer from sore ankles or ankle pain after running, it doesn't get the same attention as other common ailments like runner's knee or IT band syndrome. Ankles remain a rather neglected body part – at least until the problem becomes unmanageable or pain levels too high to tolerate.
Signs of Overpronation in Feet
Overpronation occurs when the foot and ankle roll too far inward when you walk. This movement strains the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your feet and legs. As a result, you develop pain, limited movement, and many conditions like shin splints, sprained ankles, and plantar fasciitis.
