INTRODUCTION;

Foot pain can be a real setback, impacting your ability to walk, exercise, or enjoy daily life. Whether it's a sharp sting in your heel, a dull ache across your arch, or a burning sensation in your forefoot, foot pain is your body's way of asking for help.

At Physio360, we specialise in diagnosing and treating all types of foot pain with targeted, evidence-based physiotherapy in Gerugambakkam, Chennai. Our goal is simple: get you back on your feet—stronger, pain-free, and more confident.


What Causes Foot Pain?

Foot pain can stem from a variety of structural, mechanical, or neurological problems. Below are the most common conditions we treat at Physio360:

1. Plantar Fasciitis

  • Inflammation of the plantar fascia (tissue along the sole)

  • Causes sharp heel pain, especially in the morning

  • Often linked to flat feet, poor footwear, or prolonged standing


2. Heel Spurs

  • Calcium deposit under the heel bone

  • Feels like a pin or knife poking with every step

  • Often coexists with plantar fasciitis


3. Metatarsalgia

  • Pain in the ball of the foot

  • Common in runners and high-heeled wearers

  • Caused by overuse, poor biomechanics, or nerve entrapment


4. Achilles Tendinitis

  • Inflammation of the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel

  • Common in athletes and middle-aged recreational players

  • Aggravated by tight calf muscles and sudden activity increase


5. Flat Feet (Pes Planus)

  • Arch collapses, leading to misalignment and pain

  • May cause discomfort in the arch, heel, or ankle

  • Often associated with overpronation and poor footwear


6. Morton’s Neuroma

  • Thickening of tissue between toes (usually 3rd and 4th)

  • Causes burning pain, numbness, or a pebble-in-shoe sensation

  • Common in women who wear tight shoes or high heels


7. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Compression of the tibial nerve in the ankle

  • Causes radiating pain, tingling, or numbness in the foot

  • Often worsens with standing or walking


8. Stress Fractures

  • Micro-cracks in bones from repetitive load

  • Usually affects metatarsals, heel, or navicular bone

  • Pain increases with activity and subsides with rest


9. Gout

  • Crystal buildup in joints, especially the big toe

  • Sudden onset of intense pain, redness, and swelling

  • Triggered by diet, alcohol, or kidney issues


10. Diabetic Neuropathy

  • Nerve damage due to long-term diabetes

  • Burning, tingling, or numbness in the feet

  • Increases the risk of ulcers and infections
