The intricacy of the network of bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles in the foot is vast.
Built to be strong enough to bear body weight, foot pain is common as this area of the body is often prone to injury. Addressing foot pain immediately is essential to stopping a serious injury from forming. From the toes to the heel to the arch to the instep to the bottom of the foot (sole), foot pain can cause great discomfort, especially for active athletes. As the foundation for lower extremity movement, keeping the foot healthy is imperative for any type of physical activity.
Foot pain can arise from a variety of causes.
This ranges from a specific injury to overuse damage due to sports or too much walking. Even something as simple as an improperly fitting shoe can cause foot pain that can become troublesome. In order to avoid a serious injury, active individuals are encouraged to address their foot pain immediately to avoid further damage.
