Disorders that can cause pain
Many people suffer from a range of foot and ankle disorders that can cause pain, reduce mobility, inhibit exercise or sports participation and may predispose you to injury. Podiatrists are trained to assess biomechanical alignment and foot posture problems that cause pain or disability. Podiatrists assess and treat foot and ankle pain, including:
- Shin Splints (or, medial tibial stress syndrome)
- Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (or, adult acquired flat foot)
- Metatarsal Stress Fracture
- Metatarsalgia
- Intermetatarsal Neuroma
- Peroneal Tendonitis or tenosynovitis
- Sesamoiditis
- Plantar Plate Injury
