Understanding the Root Causes of Foot and Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle pain often results from various issues, including acute injuries like ankle sprains or fractures, overuse injuries such as Achilles tendonitis or plantar fasciitis, and degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, structural problems like flat feet, high arches, or nerve entrapments, such as tarsal tunnel syndrome, can contribute to ongoing discomfort and mobility challenges.
Traumatic and Overuse Injuries
Acute injuries like sprains occur when ligaments are overstretched or torn, typically from a sudden twist or impact. Overuse injuries, like Achilles tendinitis, develop gradually due to repetitive strain, while chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis cause persistent pain and stiffness in the joints.
