Foot and ankle problems are the most common
issues affecting people of all ages. Pain and
discomfort in the foot and ankle can severely
impact your mobility and quality of life, whether
it's due to wear and tear, injuries, or
congenital conditions. Among the various
conditions, plantar fasciitis, Achilles
tendonitis, and ankle sprains are particularly
prevalent, causing symptoms like pain, swelling,
stiffness, and difficulty walking. "Ignoring
foot and ankle problems can lead to chronic pain
and long-term disability. Even simple activities
like walking or standing become challenging,"
says Mumbai's top foot and ankle surgeon, Dr.
Pradeep Moonot. Understanding common problems
like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis is
crucial for timely intervention and effective
management. Let's dive into these prevalent
conditions to manage better and alleviate your
