Understanding Foot and Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle pain is common and can make everyday movement feel much harder, from walking and climbing stairs to exercise and simply being on your feet for longer periods. Symptoms may include heel pain, aching, sharp pain, swelling, stiffness, tenderness or difficulty putting weight through the foot or ankle. Symptoms may come on after a twist, strain or increase in activity, or they may develop more gradually over time.
A careful assessment can help build a clearer picture of what is contributing to your symptoms and guide the right treatment to reduce pain, improve movement and help you return to day-to-day activity more comfortably.
