Foot and Ankle Pain and Your Shoes

It is impossible to overemphasize the importance of wearing proper footwear for all of your activities. That means when you go to work, go shopping, play sports, dance, do work around the house, and everything else you do.

Ill-fitting shoes, shoes that are inappropriate for the activity, or shoes that are just uncomfortable, will always lead to problems with your feet and ankles and other parts of your body, too. Improper footwear puts you at risk for serious injury when playing sports. During less strenuous activities, poor footwear slowly causes damage and pain.

Causes of Foot and Ankle Pain

Tendonitis of the Achilles tendon, sprains, and strains are common causes of ankle pain. Acute injuries which do not fully heal can lead to chronic pain.

The feet and ankles are very susceptible to micro-trauma injuries. Constantly repeating these minor injuries can lead to tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, and arthritis of the foot and ankle. Common culprits are running or playing sports on surfaces that are too hard, too soft, or uneven, or as mentioned above, while wearing improper footwear.

Tendonitis can trike tendon in the ankle and foot besides the Achilles tendon, too. Left untreated, tendonitis can lead to ligament injury.

Relief from Foot and Ankle Pain
