Foot Pain
Foot pain can come from joints, tendons, nerves, skin pressure, footwear, injury or the way your foot moves. We assess the cause and build a treatment plan around your symptoms and goals.
- Heel, arch, forefoot and toe pain assessment
- Footwear, pressure and movement review
- Treatment options explained clearly
Foot Pain appointments at the Foot & Ankle Centre are designed to identify why walking, standing, sport or daily activity has become uncomfortable. Your clinician will listen to your history, examine the painful area, check movement and pressure points, and consider whether your footwear or walking pattern is contributing.
Common causes include plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, Morton's neuroma, tendon irritation, arthritis, bunions, corns, verrucae, flat feet, high arches and overuse injuries. When needed, we can recommend imaging, gait analysis, insoles, padding, injections, physiotherapy or onward referral.
The aim is to reduce pain, protect irritated tissue and help you return to normal activity with a plan you understand. Advice may include footwear changes, load management, stretching or strengthening work, pressure relief, orthotics or other clinic-based treatments.
A focused assessment, clear diagnosis, and a practical treatment plan matched to your symptoms, footwear and activity goals.
FAQs
Book if pain is limiting normal activity, getting worse, keeps returning, follows an injury, or has not improved with sensible self-care. People with diabetes, numbness, wounds or circulation concerns should seek prompt advice.
We assess heel pain, arch pain, ball-of-foot pain, toe pain, top-of-foot pain, nerve symptoms, joint pain, tendon pain and pressure-related skin pain.
Not always. Many causes can be diagnosed clinically, but imaging may be recommended when symptoms suggest a fracture, arthritis, soft-tissue injury or another condition that needs confirmation.
Yes, when pain is linked to pressure, alignment or load. Your clinician will advise whether simple padding, footwear changes, prefabricated insoles or custom orthotics are appropriate.
That depends on the cause and severity. We can advise how to modify activity so you avoid aggravating the problem while maintaining as much normal movement as possible.
