The foot and ankle are intricate structures containing numerous bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons that all work together to support your movement and balance. Pain in these areas can stem from many different conditions that ultimately lead to pain in the ankle or foot discomfort.
Here is an overview of some of the most common causes and symptoms associated with ankle and foot pain that we see:
Sinus Tarsi Syndrome
Deep, unmistakable pain near the outer side of the ankle may likely be the result of instability or inflammation in the sinus tarsi.
Stress Fractures
Microscopic cracks in foot bones may lead to dull pain and swelling, especially after repetitive activities like running.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Compressed nerves in the tarsal tunnel may create a sense of numbness, tingling, or pain near the ankle or foot arch.
Tibialis Anterior Tendonitis
Repeated stress on the shin can induce swelling and pain along the front of the ankle and foot.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Overuse or strain of the Achilles tendon can create pain and stiffness along the back of the ankle.
Ankle Sprain
Ligament injuries caused by twisting injury can lead to swelling, bruising, and pain surrounding the affected joint.
Tendonitis
Overuse of tendons of the foot can cause tenderness, swelling, and unignorable pain during walking or movement.
Plantar Fasciitis
Is caused by overloading or over stretching of the plantar fascia which supports the arch of the foot stretching from the toes to the heel. This generally provokes pain in the the arch or heel especially during your first steps in the morning.
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
A strained or torn posterior tibial tendon can result in pain along the inner side of the ankle this can be degenerative and requires timely treatment.
