FOOT PAIN IN CHARLOTTE & FORT MILL

Exercises can help strengthen your foot. In some cases, a combination of exercises and foot pain treatment are necessary to fully relieve your discomfort and treat the issue. 

Before starting a new exercise program, please discuss your plans with your physician to avoid further injuring your foot. Always remember to avoid exercises and activities that increase your foot pain. Our team can assess the cause of your foot pain and recommend the appropriate therapies for your needs.

For some patients, foot pain subsides on its own after a time of rest. If the discomfort lingers beyond a couple of weeks, you should schedule an evaluation with our pain management team. More serious or chronic foot pain should be examined. Our goal is to evaluate and treat your pain while improving your mobility and quality of life

Foot pain may range from mild to severe. Oftentimes, minor discomfort or soreness subsides with rest and at-home care. More serious, chronic, or lingering pain requires medical intervention to treat the underlying condition and relieve your foot pain.

Without knowing the actual cause of your pain, it is hard to say if the pain will resolve on its own. Contact your pain management specialist for an assessment and treatment for your foot injury or pain. This is especially important if your pain is severe or does not subside with rest or over-the-counter medication.

Any injury may be serious, especially if it affects your daily functioning and quality of life. If your foot pain is severe or does not go away with rest, over-the-counter pain relief, ice, or heat, please contact your physician. An evaluation is necessary to determine the source and severity of your foot condition.

Your feet are easy to neglect; however, they provide important support for your body. The following steps can help keep your feet healthy and keep you mobile:

• Maintain a healthy weight as too much weight adds pressure to your feet and joints
• Wear good, supportive shoes that fit properly
• Stretch your feet regularly and especially before physical activity
• Keep your feet clean and moisturized

The longevity of your foot pain depends on the source of your discomfort. Mild discomfort may resolve quickly with rest and at-home treatment. More serious foot injuries or conditions may require medical intervention and therapies to treat your pain. Your pain specialist may recommend a combination of treatments, exercises, and lifestyle modifications to ease your pain.

Finding the appropriate foot pain treatment requires knowing the cause. Schedule an appointment with your pain management team in Charlotte and Fort Mill for an evaluation. Once we determine the root cause of your foot condition, we will create a personalized treatment plan.
