Can stress cause foot pain?

The bones and muscles of the feet are designed to carry the weight of the human body indefinitely. When it becomes overworked, the area around the heel, between the toes or on top of the foot can impede movement and the structural design which in turn causes foot pain. If it is left unattended, it can lead to ligament/muscle tears or stress fractures which will become a chronic, lifelong ailment. Due to the complexity of the foot’s basic structure, detecting the cause of the pain requires a thorough diagnosis and evaluation by a foot doctor. The problem becomes increasingly worse with use and in some cases, it occurs gradually and especially when weight is applied. Athletes or professional sports people may encounter this condition whenever a workout routine is increased in frequency, or intensity. Improper fitting shoes will also work to misalign the muscle and bone structure. If you experience frequent problems with your foot and ankle, you can get it checked at Foot and Ankle Associates.
