What Is Causing Your Foot & Ankle Pain?

Foot and ankle pain doesn’t just show up out of nowhere—it’s usually the result of strain, structural issues, or irritation in the tissues of your foot.

Common causes include:

• Overuse or repetitive stress (often from running, standing for long periods, or high-impact activity)
• Inflammation of the plantar fascia, the ligament that supports your arch
• Improper footwear or poor foot support
• Structural imbalances, such as flat feet or high arches
• Joint instability or ligament strain, often from a previous ankle sprain
• Pressure from misaligned toes or joints, leading to issues like bunions or ingrown nails
• Nerve irritation or compression, which can cause burning, tingling, or shooting pain
• Growth and developmental factors in children, which can affect how the foot functions
