Foot Pain
Foot pain can affect your daily life - making it difficult to walk, stand, or even wear shoes comfortably. It can occur in the heel, arch, ball of the foot, or toes and is often caused by conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, Morton's neuroma, or even stress fractures.
Whether it’s sudden foot pain in the first trimester of pregnancy or ongoing heel pain from walking, seeking the right treatment early is crucial. Because your foot contains over 26 bones, 30 joints, and more than 100 muscles and ligaments, it’s important to identify the exact source of your pain. At KL Foot Specialist Podiatry, we provide comprehensive assessments to find the root cause — not just treat the symptoms.
