Understanding Leg, Ankle and Foot Pain
The leg, ankle, and foot play essential roles in mobility and support, so any injury or pain in these areas can greatly hinder daily activities. Common ailments include plantar fasciitis, which causes significant heel pain due to inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of the foot, and Achilles tendonitis, characterized by pain and stiffness resulting from overuse of the Achilles tendon. Ankle sprains are also prevalent, typically occurring from sudden movements that stretch or tear the ligaments. Other issues, such as shin splints, stress fractures, and flat feet, can lead to discomfort, especially during walking or running. Furthermore, conditions like tarsal tunnel syndrome, bunions, and hammertoes may result in progressive deformities and pain, making physiotherapy for leg conditions an important consideration for effective treatment and recovery.
