  • Chronic foot pain is a common occurrence among many people for various reasons. With so many causes of chronic foot pain, it is best to talk to your doctor to find relief for the symptoms you are experiencing.

    High-Heeled Shoes

    High-heeled shoes can cause pain due to the pressure on the toes from your body weight. This can eventually lead to problems such as osteoarthritis and bunions.

    Plantar Fasciitis

    The ligament that runs along the bottom of the foot is the plantar fascia ligament. When inflamed, it produces a burning and aching pain. Plantar fasciitis is usually caused from improper shoes that do not provide enough support.

    Arthritis

    Arthritis can cause problems such as hammer toes, claw toes and bunions. Wearing the right orthotics can help reduce the pressure on the affected areas and provide comfort.

    High-Impact Exercise

    Strenuous, high-impact exercise such as jogging or aerobics can cause painful injuries such as metatarsalgia, blisters, knee and ankle injuries and plantar fasciitis.

    High Blood Pressure

    Buildup of fluid from high blood pressure can cause swollen, tingling feet due to the effects on the nervous system and the circulatory system. This can increase the chances of infection and ulcers of the foot and lead to chronic pain.

    Medical Conditions

    Medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease and diabetes that may cause poor circulation can contribute to foot pain, as can any condition that affects the muscles and motor control.
