Cheshire Foot Clinic
Locating the pain and treatment
You can get pain on the top of your foot when you walk run or stand for long periods of time or following an injury, you may have some swelling and tenderness in the area.
The pain may be in one exact location on the top of your foot or maybe it’s close to the toes, toward the inside of your arch or right in the middle of your foot.
The pain may not be enough to make you limp, but it’s there when you run, walk or even just stand. Sometimes it is constant and you can’t walk it off, other times it moves or comes and goes.
What is causing it?
Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, ligaments and nerves that hold it all together. This means that there are many potential causes. Diagnosis is made following our assessment and is dependant on the exact location and severity of the pain.
Pain affecting the top of your foot can have many causes including but not limited to:
- Plantar Plate Dysfunction
- Corns and Calluses
- Osteoarthritis
