Did you know that the human foot consists of 26 bones, 33 joints and hundreds of muscles, nerves and ligaments? Yet its marvellous, complex structure is often taken for granted. Most feet endure hours of punishment every day. Snug shoes, repeated pounding and cramped positions are all in a day’s work. Not surprisingly, pain spreads throughout the foot, including the toes, ball of the foot, arch, instep, sole, heel and ankle.
Some foot discomfort may seem like a mere minor annoyance. Other pain, which interferes with work, exercise or maneuverability, is more serious. However, any foot pain — whether it is small and intermittent or sharp and constant — deserves attention. Fortunately, chiropractic care may help.
The following are some of the most common causes of foot pain:
Plantar fasciitis
Osteoarthritis
Bursitis
Ankle sprain
Injury
