Finding the Source of
Your Pain
Whether it is a burning sensation in the ball of your foot, shin pain after running, or stiff arthritic joints that make mornings difficult, the right diagnosis changes everything. For heel pain specifically, visit our plantar fasciitis page.
Most foot pain is most treatable when it is addressed early. If something has been hurting for more than a couple of weeks, an evaluation is worth your time.
Conditions We Treat
A neuroma, most commonly Morton neuroma, is a thickening of nerve tissue between the toes that produces burning, tingling, or the feeling of standing on a marble. Treatment starts with footwear changes, custom orthotics, and padding, with injection therapy for persistent cases.
Shin splints cause aching pain along the inner edge of the shinbone, usually after running or a sudden increase in activity. The driver is often foot mechanics, so we treat both the symptoms and the underlying cause with rest, strengthening, and custom orthotics.
Each foot contains 33 joints, giving arthritis many places to cause trouble. Arthritis cannot be reversed, but custom orthotics, anti-inflammatory care, activity planning, and, in some cases, regenerative options can meaningfully reduce pain and preserve mobility.
Frequently Asked Questions
That sensation often points to a neuroma, a thickened nerve most commonly found between the third and fourth toes. It can feel like standing on a marble. Footwear changes, custom orthotics, and padding usually help, with injection therapy for persistent cases.
Shin splints cause aching along the inner edge of the shinbone, typically after running or a jump in activity. Because foot mechanics often drive the problem, an evaluation looks at both the shin and how your foot loads, so treatment addresses the cause and not just the symptom.
Yes, in most cases. Arthritis cannot be reversed, but custom orthotics, anti-inflammatory care, activity planning, and in some cases regenerative options can meaningfully reduce pain and preserve mobility.
If foot pain has lasted more than two weeks, it is worth an evaluation. Most foot pain is far easier to treat early, before compensation patterns create new problems.
Pain that is worst with the first steps after rest often reflects inflammation that tightens overnight, common with heel and arch problems. If this sounds familiar, our heel pain page covers plantar fasciitis in detail.
