Types of Foot Pain

There are a variety of different types of foot pain that our Mississauga clinic treats including, but not limited to:

Heel Pain

Also known as plantar fasciitis, this type of pain is usually an irritation or inflammation of the band of tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes.

Ball Of The Foot Pain

This pain manifests in the ball of your foot and is usually caused by poorly-fitted shoes. You can also cause pain through strenuous activity like jumping or running.

Toe Pain

There are many different types of toe pain including gout, hammertoe, claw toe, ingrown toenails, corns and calluses, and toe sprain.

Heel Spurs

Caused by abnormal growths on the bottom of your heel, heel spurs can hurt while you walk or stand. If you have flat feet or high arches, you are more susceptible to painful heel spurs.

Arch Pain

Plantar fasciitis and fallen arches are two types of arch pain. The former is the most common arch pain and can affect either the heel or the arch, or both. The latter causes pain when the feet flatten out.

Foot Pain All Over

Sometimes you feel pain all over your foot. This can be caused by nerve damage or inflammation of the tendons.

What Causes Foot Pain?

There wasn’t one source as the cause of foot pain. Foot pain can be the result of:

Diseases

From infectious diseases to viruses to fungi and bacteria growth, this is a common cause of foot pain. In fact plantar warts are caused by a virus. Diabetes, lupus, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis can all contribute to foot pain.

Deformities

This is another common cause for foot pain. Examples of deformities include hammertoe, bone spurs, bunions, mallet toes, and claw toes.

Improper Footwear

If your shoes are too tight or if you frequently wear high heels, you can develop foot pain. Too tight laces can lead to bruising on the top of your foot. Poorly fitted shoes can lead to blisters and Athlete’s foot in the short term. Long term effects of improper footwear include corns, bunions, calluses, and nerve and joint irritation.

Biomechanical Conditions

Abnormalities in your muscles or tendons, high arches, or flat feet can cause imbalances in your muscles, creating deformities and contributing to foot pain.

Injuries

Taking a blow to the foot or twisting an ankle can lead to foot pain. Repetition of this type of foot pain can lead to a stress fracture.

We pinpoint the source of the pain issue to prescribe a treatment plan that works best for your health and lifestyle.
