The foot and ankle is a complicated body region comprised of a complex array of small bones and soft tissue structures that collectively are aligned to help us ambulate efficiently. Movements such as standing, jumping, walking, jogging, or running apply different mechanical stresses through the foot and ankle region. The foot and ankle rely on various structures such as ligaments, connective tissue (fascia) and tendons to provide stability and support when engaging in these activities. In addition, various nerves and blood vessels also traverse the foot and ankle region and can be sources of pain.
Foot and ankle pain can present as a result of injury or degeneration of one or more of these structures. Often with chronic injuries, foot mechanics can be altered to the point where one is at risk of damaging other structures.
Pain at the foot and ankle can also be misleading in that the pain source can actually be somewhere outside the region completely. Examples include a pinched nerve in the back (lumbar radiculopathy), neuropathy, blood vessel problem (vascular disease), referred from the hip or knee or reflect a degenerated or inflamed structure (tendon, ligament or bursa), to name a few. Related issues such as flat feet or poor footwear can aggravate foot and ankle pain and problems and should be addressed.
A thorough history of symptoms is very helpful to help determine the likely diagnosis and development of an effective treatment plan for foot and ankle pain.Common Sources of Foot and Ankle Pain:
