Cause and diagnosis: Why do I have foot pain and foot pain?

Here we will go through a number of possible causes and diagnoses that can cause you pain under the foot blade and pain in the sole of the foot.

Diabetic neuropathy

Diabetes (diabetes) can cause major problems with the regulation of blood sugar in the body. High blood sugar over a long period of time - as well as a diet that causes large fluctuations in these values ​​- can cause nerve damage. This is called diabetic neuropathy - and first affects the nerves that send signals to the hands and feet.

Diabetic neuropathy can cause numbness, tingling and nerve pain in the toes, feet, fingers and hands. Such nerve pain can provide a basis for burning, sharp and aching pain under the foot blade. This can cause your feet to become painful and even the slightest touch becomes almost unbearable.

Heel groove (calcification of the tendon plate at the front of the heel bone)

Under the foot blade we have a tendon plate (plantar fascia) that goes from the front of the heel bone and then further under the foot - before it spreads in a fan shape towards the front of the toe balls. In case of prolonged malfunction. among other things, for tight foot muscles and incorrect gait, this can lead to damaged tissue in the plantar fascia and consistently poorer blood circulation - which in turn can lead to the tendon in the attachment to the heel bone being calcified (that calcifications form at the front of the heel bone).

This is called a heel spur - and this diagnosis often occurs in combination with plantar fasciitis (tendon injury under the sole of the foot). The condition is treated with pressure wave therapy performed by a modern chiropractor or physiotherapist. Heel spurs can be translated from Norwegian to English as heel spur.

Pes planus (flat foot)

The medical name of flat foot is pes planus. This condition means that you have flatter arches than normal - and that as a consequence you get a higher load towards the foot and the foot when you walk. Tighter foot muscles and tendon injuries can occur due to lack of cushioning when walking and running at this diagnosis. The treatment includes pressure wave therapy, self-help, physical therapy, compression clothing and exercises.

Plantar fascite (tendon injury in the tendon plate under the foot leaf)

Plantar fascia is the medical name of the tendon plate that goes under the foot leaf and foot sole. This starts from its attachment at the front of the heel bone and then extends under the foot and exits like a fan towards the toe balls. If it becomes painful, damaged or irritated, this is called plantar fascitis.

The treatment consists of pressure wave treatment - which is a treatment that uses pressure waves to break down damaged tissue and cause increased healing. This treatment method has a well-documented effect against a number of tendon disorders and muscle ailments, including plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, tennis elbow and calcifications in both shoulder and hip.
