Common Causes of Foot Pain
Foot pain has many possible causes, and where you feel it often points to the source:
- Heel pain: Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, and stress fractures
- Arch pain: Flat feet, high arches, and tendon strain
- Ball-of-foot pain: Morton’s neuroma, metatarsalgia, and calluses
