Common Causes of Foot Pain
There are many reasons you might be experiencing pain in your foot, heel, arch, or toes. Some of the most common foot pain conditions we treat at The Physio Box include:Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most frequent causes of heel pain, this condition involves inflammation of the plantar fascia (the band of tissue along the bottom of your foot). Often worse in the morning or after long periods of rest, it can make walking or standing very uncomfortable.
Metatarsalgia
A condition causing pain in the ball of the foot, often related to repetitive impact, high-heeled or ill-fitting shoes, or altered foot mechanics.Stress Fractures
Tiny cracks in the foot bones caused by repeated stress, often from high-impact activities or a sudden increase in exercise.Achilles Tendinopathy
Pain or tightness in the Achilles tendon, typically caused by overuse, poor footwear, or biomechanical imbalances. If left untreated, it can lead to long-term stiffness and weakness.Morton’s Neuroma
A thickening of nerve tissue between the toes that can cause a burning or tingling pain in the forefoot, particularly when walking or wearing tight shoes.Flat Feet or Collapsed Arches
Can lead to pain and fatigue in the feet, ankles, and even up into the knees and hips. Poor arch support and muscle weakness are common causes.Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)
This condition causes the arch of the foot to flatten and can lead to ankle instability and pain along the inner foot and ankle.Bunions, Arthritis, and Toe Pain
Joint conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect foot alignment and cause stiffness, swelling, or deformities.Meet Our Team
