Why Does The Bottom Of My Foot Hurt?
Originally Published 29 March 2018
If you’re wincing the moment your feet hit the floor each morning, you’re not alone. Pain on the bottom of the foot, especially around the heel or arch, is one of the most common concerns our podiatrists hear from patients.Your feet are made up of dozens of small bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons, so working out exactly what’s causing your pain isn’t always something you can do yourself. That’s where a podiatrist comes in. We can assess your feet, get to the root of the problem, and help you find lasting relief.For most people, pain on the bottom of the foot won’t simply disappear on its own. The good news is that with the right treatment, it’s very manageable. In fact, one of the most common causes we see in clinic is plantar fasciitis.
What are plantar warts and how are they caused?
Having warts on the bottom of the feet that won’t go away is a frustrating, ongoing problem that can last months or even years. They can make walking unpleasant but also painful. While many people are told that they should just wait for the wart to go away on its own, or to use padding in the meantime that only ever provides a little temporary relief, the reality is that when left untreated, warts can stick around for a very long time.
What are plantar warts and how are they caused?
Plantar warts are small, rough, round growths that are medically known as verrucae and present on the bottom of the foot. They’re caused by a virus called the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in the outer skin layer and are often contracted in childhood. Once you’ve contracted the virus, you’ll always have it in your system, so plantar warts may pop up spontaneously throughout your lifetime.
Do You Have Toenail Pain?

Ingrown toenails, also known as onychocryptosis, are a common and painful complaint. A true ingrown toenail is when a spike or edge of nail pierces the skin at the nail edge. This is known as the sulcus and can cause inflammation and even lead to infection.
There are a variety of factors that can cause ingrown toenails. The most common cause is due to improper cutting of your toenail and leaving a spike of nail in the sulcus. It can also be a result of a curved nail, known as an involuted nail, from external pressure.
If you are experiencing pain, redness, and swelling around your toenail, it may be time to consider seeing one of our podiatrists. With over 30 years of combined experience in treating foot and ankle conditions, we have successfully treated many cases of ingrown toenails.
