What Can Cause Foot & Ankle Pain?
We see many conditions that can affect both the feet and ankles. However, others target one particular body part. Depending on the location of your foot or ankle pain and the related symptoms, there could be many different causes, such as:
- Arthritis: There are hundreds of different kinds of arthritis, but some of the most common associated with foot and ankle pain are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout.
- Bone Spurs: Bony projections that form on bones most often near joints are called bone spurs. These can also develop on the heel to cause a lot of pain.
- Bursitis: The bursae are fluid-filled sacs that prevent friction at the joints, but they can become inflamed with overuse.
- Flat Feet: When the arch of the foot collapses, a person is considered to have flat feet.
- Fractures: Fractures are breaks that can occur to the bones in the ankle or feet — even hairline breaks can cause a lot of pain.
- Osteochondral Lesions: Lesions caused by tearing or damage to joint cartilage can lead to foot and ankle pain.
- Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the thick tissue at the bottom of the foot is known as plantar fasciitis.
- Nerve Pain or Damage: Similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, tarsal tunnel syndrome can create nerve issues in the ankle and foot.
- Sprains and Strains: Torn or stretched muscles, ligaments, and tendons can cause swelling and pain.

- Foot & Ankle Fractures: In some cases, if the fracture is mild and non-displaced (meaning the bone hasn’t shifted out of place), non-surgical treatment may be able to heal it. To treat foot fractures and ankle fractures without surgery, we typically follow the RICE (Rest -ICE- Compression- Elevation) protocol.
- Arthroscopy: This procedure is for patients with cartilage lesions in the ankle joint. Using two small incisions, we can stimulate new cartilage growth in a less invasive manner, resulting in faster recovery.
- Flat Foot Correction: This procedure combines work on multiple bones and tendons in the foot to restore the arch, relieve pain, and improve function.
- Bunion Deformity Correction: Bunions come in all shapes and sizes. There are hundreds of described techniques to fix bunion deformities, and they usually involve cutting the bone and releasing ligaments to make the big toe straight and keep it there. We will examine your foot and X-rays carefully to determine which procedure is appropriate for you.
- Diabetic Foot: Treatment for diabetic foot problems varies according to the severity of the condition. Dr. Vishwajeet Chavan will help you with the diabetic foot from traditional treatments to complex surgeries.
- Ankle Arthroplasty: This is an ankle replacement treatment for ankle arthritis, utilizing the newest implants available. This surgery is only appropriate in certain patients with ankle arthritis, but in the right person, it can be very successful in preserving function and providing excellent pain relief.
- Ankle Instability: Treatment for ankle instability usually depends on how severe your weakness is.
