Foot & Ankle Pain

Foot and ankle pain can result from a variety of causes. Obviously, over-exertion is going to cause pain, such as standing all day or increased physical activity. If pain lasts all day and night no matter what you do to relieve them, it is time to see Dr. Shari L. Kaminsky for an evaluation. Daily foot pain should not be a part of anyone’s life. Consistent swelling, numbness, and tingling are even more reasons to call a podiatrist.

Most foot or ankle pain is easily traced back to its origin. Once the cause is found, an effective treatment plan will be developed to get you “back on your feet.” Pain anywhere in the body is not good, but the painless and normal function of the feet and ankles is vital to almost all types of activities of daily living.

Injuries can happen in the blink of an eye, but medical conditions can cause pain to come on slowly and progress over time:

• Bone spurs

• Plantar fasciitis

• Achilles tendinitis

• Achilles rupture

• Arthritis

• Neuromas

• Bursitis

• Calluses and corns

• Tarsal tunnel syndrome

• Tendinitis

Some home treatments will provide pain relief. It may not be a quick solution, but continued chronic pain warrants a podiatry appointment. Call 314-355-0074 today.
