What is foot pain?

Foot pain is a common concern that affects the muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, or other tissues in your feet. It’s an uncomfortable feeling that may appear in your heel, toes, arches, or other parts of your feet. The skilled Repair Recover Restore team finds the cause of your pain and treats it to restore your foot’s structure, improve its function, and prevent future problems.
