Foot pain is a common problem, affecting millions of people every day. Whether it's plantar fasciitis, hallux valgus, flat feet, or Achilles tendonitis, understanding the cause of the pain is essential for choosing the right treatment. Discover with Orthopediepro how to effectively relieve your foot pain with orthopedic insoles, splints, and specialized shoes.

What are the main causes of foot pain?

1. Mechanical foot disorders

• Flat feet : Absence of an arch in the foot causing pain in the inner arch and heel.

• Hollow feet : Overly pronounced arch of the foot causing painful pressure points under the foot.

2. Inflammatory pathologies of the foot

• Plantar fasciitis : Inflammation of the plantar fascia, causing severe pain under the heel, especially upon waking.

• Achilles tendonitis : Pain and stiffness in the back of the heel, aggravated by physical activity.

3. Bone deformities

• Hallux valgus (bunion) : Deviation of the big toe creating painful rubbing in shoes.

• Hammer toes : Deformity of the toes causing dorsal foot pain.

4. Trauma and injuries

• Sprains, fractures, dislocations: Even minor ones, they can lead to chronic pain if not treated properly.

5. External risk factors

• Unsuitable footwear : Wearing narrow, rigid or high-heeled shoes can cause plantar pain.
