The foot is made of bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles. The foot bears weight and helps move the body, but an injury or illness that involves the foot can cause foot pain.
Foot pain can affect any part of the foot, from the toes to the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel.
Mild foot pain often responds well to home treatments, but it can take time for the pain to ease. See a healthcare professional for serious foot pain, especially if it comes after an injury.
