This is a painful symptom that can have musculoskeletal, vascular, neurological or dermatological causes.
Musculoskeletal causes: These are indicated by pain in correspondence with particular joints or tendons.
Foot pain can be a result of arthritis, bunions, and hammertoes.
When you feel pain in the sole of your foot, it could be plantar fasciitis, while Morton's neuroma and synovial cysts are benign conditions that present as painful lumps.
Vascular causes: These include arterial insufficiency and atherosclerosis. Venous insufficiency may be associated with edema and stasis dermatitis.
Neurological causes: in this case we could be in the presence of neuropathies or tarsal tunnel syndrome.
Dermatological causes: there may be a skin inflammation of a bacterial nature or a widespread inflammation of the soft tissues.
As we have seen, the causes of a painful foot can be many.
As for physiotherapy treatment, this will not only be aimed at reducing pain and inflammation, but above all at eliminating the causes that triggered such pain, in order to avoid subsequent relapses.
