Types of Foot Pain and Solutions

Foot pain comes in many different forms and levels of severity, but at some point or another in our lives, we have or will experience it.

For athletes or individuals who spend a lot of time on their feet, foot pain can be debilitating and can severely reduce their quality of life. Some of the primary causes of foot pain are improper footwear which can cause a plethora of issues such as bunions, corns, Morton’s Neuroma, and plantar fasciitis.

Luckily, there are a variety of steps you can take on your own to prevent chronic foot pain. These can include strengthening your feet with exercises, wearing proper footwear, and treating injuries as soon as they arise.

From there, they can properly assess the issue and provide some recommendation for treatment. Custom orthotics have the ability to offer a personalized treatment solution for a variety of problems which can cause foot pain. Kintec is happy to work with you and your medical professional to help solve your foot problems.

    For more than a week now, I have been experiencing pain in the bottom of my right foot. I can think of any cause which triggered it. I’m a daily jogger and have often used the same types of running shoes for such activity since I began running a year ago. I’m also on my feet all day as a teacher in elementary school. At school though, I wear different types of shoes depending on the school dress code.

      If not, you might want to look at your footwear. If you are often wearing shoes you’ve had for many years, they may not have sufficient cushioning.

    Been having bad pain that feels like bruising on the arch of my foot near the heel.
