Common Causes Of Foot Pain And Their Treatments

Anywhere And Everywhere: Uncontained Pain

Neuropathy, otherwise known as nerve damage, can cause pain as a burning, stinging, or a feeling of electricity that can occur anywhere in the feet. Common treatments for neuropathy include physical therapy, topical creams, antidepressants, and pain relievers.

Another common cause of foot pain that may occur anywhere in the foot is inflammation and irritation of the tendons, known as tendinitis. Ways to treat tendinitis include resting the feet, using pain relievers, and sometimes steroid injections. Surgery is rarely required to manage it.

There are many different causes for all the different kinds of foot pain. However, most of them can be prevented early on by wearing proper shoes and getting checked for the need of orthotics.
