Ankle & Foot Pain

Ankle pain and foot pain that comes on suddenly can be caused from a variety of injuries such as, fractures, sprains, and strains due to movements such as twisting, rolling, or overextending the foot and ankle. These injuries can be caused from awkward movements or landing from jumps or sudden changes in direction during sports, running a marathon, overuse from long walks, stepping on an uneven surface, or wearing poorly fitting shoes.

Chronic ankle pain and foot pain can be the result of incomplete healing from injuries, nerve damage, aging, being overweight, previous ankle or foot injuries, repetitive stress, overuse conditions, tendonitis, bursitis, or arthritis. Arthritis of the ankle or foot is due to wear-and-tear, which can cause pain, stiffness and swelling.
