Osteopath for foot pain & injury
The foot alone has 26 bones and 29 muscles associated with it. So it is little wonder we see so many people complaining of pain on top of the foot, pain in the heel of foot and pain in the the ball of the foot or the arch.
What causes foot pain?
Every case is different and it can also depend on which area of your foot is causing you pain. It could be a sprained ankle caused whilst playing sport, an achilles issue if you have pain at the back of the foot or heel. There is potential for the pain to be a symptom of tendonitis if the top of the foot feels stiff. In more severe cases, you may suffer from plantar fasciitis causing a sharp pain between your arch and heel.
