Foot Pain Diagnosis & Treatment
Foot Pain Try Vancouver Orthotics
Foot Pain is a top complaint we see at Vancouver Orthotics. This comes as no surprise given the nature of our required mobility; we stand all day, walk for miles, jump, run, and even skip. Often times, because of faulty biomechanics, we pay for all of that movement with aches and pains.
Treatment for foot pain is available at Vancouver Orthotics.
TREATING FOOT PAIN
Foot Pain is most often due to repetitive strain on the muscles, ligaments, bones and tendons of the feet. We have arches in our feet that act as “shock-absorbers”. Commonly, fallen or pronated arches will reduce the mechanical efficiency of each step that we take. The result of this accumulation of stress, strain, and tension: foot pain.

Does the location of my Foot Pain really matter?
Absolutely yes, the location of foot pain tells us a lot about why you have foot pain in the first place. If you experience foot pain in the heel or arch, you may have plantar fasciitis or a heel spur. If the to top or other part of your feet experience pain, you may have a high arch or a metatarsal sprain/strain. If the ball of your feet cause your foot pain, you may have a flat foot, dropped metatarsal arch or be developing a bunions or a mortons toe.
What is the most common type of Foot Pain?
One of the most common culprits of foot pain is plantar fasciitis. If you have plantar fasciitis, the tissue along the arch of your foot (between your heel and your toes) becomes inflamed. This inflammation can cause sharp, stabbing pains in your heel or in the bottom of your foot. Do you experience foot pain after running?
