Frequently Asked Questions — Foot Pain in Columbine
These are the questions Dr. Sullivan hears most often from patients in your community.
Why do my heels hurt after running?
Heel pain in runners is most often plantar fasciitis or an irritated heel from repetitive impact. Early rest, stretching, and arch support help; if it lingers past two to three weeks, Dr. Sullivan can confirm the cause and treat it with orthotics or shockwave therapy.
What causes foot arch pain?
Foot arch pain is most commonly caused by plantar fasciitis, flat feet (fallen arches), or high-arch (cavus foot) deformities. Overuse from running or prolonged standing, inadequate footwear, and weight gain can all trigger or worsen arch pain. Dr. Sullivan uses gait analysis and
imaging to pinpoint the exact cause and recommend a precise treatment—not a one-size-fits-all solution.
What causes top of foot pain?
Top of foot pain in active individuals is most often caused by extensor tendinitis (inflamed tendons), stress fractures from repetitive activity, midfoot arthritis, or nerve compression. Tight shoes are a frequent contributing factor. Because several different structures run across the top of the foot, an accurate diagnosis is essential—treatment differs significantly depending on whether the cause is a tendon, bone, or nerve issue
When should I see a podiatrist for foot pain?
See a podiatrist if your foot or ankle pain has lasted more than two weeks, is getting progressively worse, is accompanied by swelling, bruising, or numbness, or is affecting your ability to walk and participate in daily activities. You should also seek care promptly for any open wounds on your foot—especially if you have diabetes—or if you suspect an injury. anesthetic to remove the problematic nail border and prevent regrowth. Most patients feel significant relief the same day
