If you’ve got foot pain, stiffness or an ache – it’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on its own. Or, you might pass it off as having just over done it, or that it’s just a “ache” or a bit stiff.
One of the most common causes of foot pain is actually related to the structure of the foot itself. For instance, if you have flat feet or high arches, you might be more susceptible to developing conditions that are at the root of your foot pain woes..
Another factor that can contribute to foot pain is wearing shoes that don't offer enough support, particularly when walking on hard, flat surfaces. This is especially noticeable for people who spend extended periods on their feet at work.
Furthermore, carrying excess weight may also increase the likelihood of developing long-term foot pain. It's important to take care of your feet and seek treatment if you notice any pain or discomfort. Our team at American Surgeons Group can provide you with personalized treatment options and help you get back to the activities you love.
