Foot & Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle pain can affect every aspect of daily life, from walking and exercising to simply standing comfortably throughout the day. Whether your symptoms have developed gradually over time or started suddenly following injury or increased activity, persistent pain should never be ignored.
At Celtic Podiatry, we understand how frustrating and limiting foot and ankle pain can be. Our experienced podiatrists provide thorough assessment, diagnosis, and tailored treatment plans designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you return to the activities you enjoy.

What Causes Foot & Ankle Pain?
Foot and ankle pain can occur for many different reasons. Because the feet and ankles absorb significant pressure and impact every day, they are particularly vulnerable to strain, overuse, injury, and biomechanical problems.
Common causes of foot and ankle pain include:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles tendon pain or tendonitis
- Arthritis and joint inflammation
- Flat feet or poor foot mechanics
- Overpronation and gait abnormalities
- Sports injuries and overuse injuries
- Tendon and ligament strain
- Muscle tightness and fatigue
- Stress injuries and repetitive strain
- Poor footwear or prolonged standing
Pain may be felt in the heel, arch, ankle, ball of the foot, toes, or across the top of the foot. Some patients experience sharp pain, whilst others describe aching, burning, stiffness, swelling, or discomfort during walking and activity.
