Foot Pain: What is Causing It?

There are many different conditions that can cause foot pain. One thing that they all have in common is the relief that a supportive shoe provides. If you are having any pain in your feet getting a new pair of shoes that have the proper support and that fit your feet correctly can help to alleviate some of that pain.

What are the conditions that cause these foot pains? Dr. Dennis Ogiela wrote an article on  urmc.rochester.edu that discusses various foot pains and how to treat them. The first foot pain Dr. Dennis Ogiela lists is heel spurs.

Bone spurs are the extra bone that the body grows over time due to the stress of the plantar fascia.
