Foot Pain Treatment at Florida Pain Medicine

Foot pain can turn walking into a chore, whether it’s a sharp sting in your heel or a persistent ache across your sole. It’s often tied to structural issues, nerve problems, or wear and tear. At Florida Pain Medicine, our specialists pinpoint the source and offer treatments to restore your stride and comfort.

Common Causes of Foot Pain: •Plantar fasciitis: Heel inflammation from overuse or tight calves.

•Neuropathy: Nerve damage, often from diabetes, causes burning pain. •Arthritis: Joint degeneration in the foot or ankle.

•Injury: Sprains, fractures, or tendonitis disrupt function. •Poor footwear: Lack of support strains the feet.

•Bunions: Misaligned bones create pressure points. •Flat feet: Collapsed arches lead to discomfort.

•Gout: Uric acid buildup causes sudden, intense pain.

Treatment for Foot Pain

Our foot pain treatment begins with a detailed evaluation—sometimes including imaging—to confirm the cause. For plantar fasciitis or arthritis, custom orthotics and NSAIDs can reduce strain and inflammation. Neuropathic foot pain may respond to medications like gabapentin, paired with topical creams for localized relief. Physical therapy, including stretching and strengthening exercises, helps correct biomechanics, while corticosteroid injections target severe inflammation. In cases of injury or deformity, we coordinate with podiatrists for bracing or, rarely, surgical options. At Florida Pain Medicine, we also educate you on footwear choices and foot care to prevent recurrence. Call us today to take your first step toward pain-free feet.
