Your feet bear weight when you’re standing and walking and they can become painful. This pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including overuse, injury, or underlying medical conditions.

At A7 Health, the doctor will do an assessment to identify the cause of your pain and an appropriate course of treatment is recommended. Additional tests and scans may be recommended. Treatment may include a prescription for pain relief medication, anti-inflammatories or other medication. Depending on the cause of your pain, physical therapy can help relieve pain, rehabilitate an injury, and reduce the likelihood of the pain recurring.

The A7 Health doctors and therapists are experienced in addressing a range of conditions that cause foot pain. These may include but not limited to:

• Diseases and conditions, such as arthritis, diabetes, or gout
• Infections, ulcers, or sores
• Nerve damage 
• Pregnancy, or being over-weight
• Swelling caused by medication
• Foot injury, such as a sprain, fracture, or tendinitis
• Growths, such as corns, calluses, bunions, warts, ingrown toenails
• Structural changes, such as hammer toes, fallen arches, or plantar fasciitis
