Foot conditions?

72% of Americans will suffer from foot pain regarding the American Medical Podiatric Association.

Acute foot pain?

Have you recently bent your ankle? Depending on the type of situation we may be able to offer you a solution to that pain and discomfort. Ankle sprain have 3 different grades, being grade 3 a luxation; with this you wouldn’t be able to walk and you will be in excruciating pain; you need an orthopedist or neurosurgeon to check on this as soon as possible to avoid nerve damage or vascular flow occlusion, but if you can stand on your feet then we may be able to help you.

Acute injuries to the foot typically are more related to damages to the anterior talofibular ligament, it is very often because of walking on high heels, running or walking on unstable surfaces, foot ligament instability or directly weakness of the intrinsic muscles of the foot.

Chronic foot pain?

Are you concerned about an old injury that now have altered your gait and your feet feel unstable, weak and / or swollen? Popping or grinding sounds are typical presentation of an old bone misalignment due to trauma or improper gait cycle.

Is this affecting you to walk, run, bike or just enjoy any activity making you feel old or sick? We are providing solutions to our community for foot pain, let us explain more:

The foot have 26 bones, all of them hold together by ligaments; when there is a trauma (even small trauma ones like hitting the night stand in the middle of the night) and you forget about that, then later on you develop weird popping sounds or start walking funny, this is your body creating a compensatory situation to prevent the pain or lack of function, but you can identify the chronicity by the following findings:

1. Swollen in the area
2. Restricted mobility
3. Weakness in certain movements of the foot, most commonly pointing your toes up or the sides on the affected foot compared to the other.
4. Grinding / popping sounds.

Chronic foot conditions we have helped with:

​

  • Plantar fasciitis (and heel spurs)

  • Generalized arch pain

  • Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Morton Neuritis / Neuroma

  • Metatarsal Phalangealitis

  • Hammer Toe, Mallet Toe, Claw Toe.

  • Bunion and Bunnionette.

Bottom of Foot / Heel Pain

Bottom of foot pain can be related to several different factors depending on the location of the pain. Other factors include type of footwear, activities and hobbies, age, weight, and overall health. Some of the more common bottom of foot pain conditions include plantar fasciitis, heel spur syndrome and metatarsalgia.

Ball of Foot Pain

The ball of the foot is that area on the under surface of the foot where the toes join to the long bones (or metatarsals). This is a common area that can become irritated or injured and develop pain. There are a few main reasons or causes for most cases of pain in the ball of the foot. If one or more of the metatarsal bones become misaligned this can alter the foot’s ability to naturally distribute weight during the gait cycle (walking cycle). People suffering from this type of pain will often report that it feels like there’s a lump under that portion of their foot when they stand or walk. Ball of foot pain is commonly referred to as Metatarsalgia. There are other reasons for this type of pain such as stress fracture, improper sized shoes or from wearing high-heel shoes.

Top of Foot Pain

Top of foot pain is not as common as pain on the bottom of the foot, but it can be equally as debilitating. People with flat feet may tend to experience an irritation to the joints between the foot bones on the top surface of those joints. As a result, they may complain of pain and discomfort on the top of their foot. High arched feet can also develop stress and result in pain on the top of the foot; however, this is usually due to tensed or strained tendons that pass over that area. In both cases the underlying cause of the top of foot pain is related to mechanical dysfunction or misalignment of the bones in the foot.

Side of Foot Pain

Foot pain can be present at several locations on either the inside or outside of the foot and/or ankle. In most cases these pain symptoms are related to some mechanical stress or misalignment of one or more of the 26 bones of the foot. People who run or are active on their feet often complain of pain on the side of their foot. Another common cause of pain of the side of the foot is from shoes that are too tight and cause a constricting pressure on either side of the forefoot. This can cause pain in either the big toe area or the outside of the fifth toe.

Some common conditions that are related to side of foot pain are: bunions, tailor’s bunion, ankle stress or ankle sprains, flat feet, and possibly even tendonitis. When the foot bones lose their healthy alignment, it will lead to an increase in stress to the foot bones and joints as well as significant stress to the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the foot.

Back of Foot Pain / Back of Heel Pain

The most common condition that affects the back of the foot is known as Achilles tendonitis. This condition occurs when there has been a great amount of stress and strain on the Achilles tendon due to various activities and abnormal movements of the foot, ankle and leg. A misalignment or mechanical dysfunction of the hind foot will generally be present when a person is suffering from this condition. Many times the patient will report having had a prior history of an ankle or sprain to the foot, possibly even months or years prior to the achilles tendonitis developing. Other times this painful condition may have developed due to repetitive movements of the foot and/or ankle over an extended period of time.

In our clinic we offer customized orthotics that fit tri dimensionally your feet, allowing us to determine the amount of pronation (Pronation Stability Index) and bilateral leg weight distribution, in
many cases this orthotics by itself help with several hip, back and knee pain cases since it make the foundation (feet) stable.
