What We TreatFoot Pain

What Causes Foot Pain?Foot pain can be a distressing and limiting condition that affects mobility and quality of life.

At Cypress Physical Therapy, we specialize in addressing foot pain, leveraging our expertise to provide targeted solutions. There are numerous possible causes of foot pain, including:

• Plantar fasciitis: Inflammation or irritation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, often resulting from overuse, excessive standing, or improper footwear.
• Achilles tendonitis: Inflammation or degeneration of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, typically caused by overuse or repetitive activities.
• Metatarsalgia: Pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot, often due to excessive pressure or overuse, high-impact activities, or improper footwear.
• Morton's Neuroma: Thickening of the tissue around the nerves between the toes, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling sensations, often aggravated by wearing tight shoes or participating in high-impact activities.
• Bunions: Deformities of the big toe joint, resulting in pain, swelling, and stiffness, often exacerbated by wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes.
• Stress fractures: Small cracks or fractures in the bones of the foot, typically caused by repetitive stress or overuse, high-impact activities, or sudden increases in activity level.
• Flat feet or fallen arches: Lack of arch support in the foot, leading to pain, fatigue, and strain on the muscles and ligaments of the foot and lower leg.
