LEG & FOOT PAIN CONDITIONS
Pain and discomfort in the legs and feet can arise from prolonged standing, injuries, or underlying health conditions such as arthritis. This type of pain may limit mobility and significantly affect a person’s daily life. Gaining a clear understanding of its causes and exploring effective management options is essential for relief and improved function.
COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME (CRPS)
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that usually affects an arm or a leg after an injury. It causes intense, persistent pain that may be out of proportion to the original injury and can include swelling, color changes, and sensitivity to touch or temperature.
DIABETIC NEUROPATHY
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It commonly affects the legs and feet, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning pain, and weakness.
PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where the peripheral nerves (outside the brain and spinal cord) are damaged, causing symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain, usually in the hands and feet. It can result from diabetes, infections, injuries, or certain medications.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It typically causes sharp pain with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest.
ANKLE SPRAIN
Ankle sprain is an injury to the ligaments around the ankle, usually caused by twisting or rolling the ankle. It often leads to pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. Most sprains affect the outer (lateral) ligaments and can range from mild (overstretching) to severe (complete tear).
TARSAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is a nerve compression condition where the tibial nerve is pinched as it passes through the tarsal tunnel near medial side of the ankle joint. It can cause burning, tingling, numbness, or shooting pain in the foot and ankle.
MORTON'S NEUROMA
Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition caused by thickening of the tissue around a nerve between the toes—most commonly between the 3rd and 4th toes. It often feels like a sharp, burning pain or the sensation of a pebble in the shoe
