An ankle sprain is the most common musculoskeletal injury, especially in athletes and active individuals. It involves damage or tearing of the ligaments that stabilize the ankle, usually due to inversion.
Causes:
\u2022 Walking crookedly on uneven ground
\u2022 Sudden change of direction
\u2022 Bad landing after a jump
\u2022 Sports activities (basketball, football, tennis)
Symptoms:
\u2022 Acute pain in the outer or inner ankle
\u2022 Swelling (edema) and bruising
\u2022 Difficulty putting weight on the foot
\u2022 Ankle instability
\u2022 Pain on passive stretching of the ligaments<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The metatarsals are the five long bones of the forefoot that connect the toes to the rest of the foot. Injuries to them are common in both athletes and people who walk or run on uneven terrain, especially when wearing ill-fitting footwear.
Causes:
\u2022 Overuse and repetitive strain
\u2022 Inappropriate footwear
\u2022 High arch (pes cavus) or flat feet
\u2022 Misalignment or deformities (e.g., bunions, hammertoes)
\u2022 Asymmetry (uneven leg length) that changes the load
\u2022 Sudden trauma
\u2022 Muscle imbalance or weakness
\u2022 Previous injuries or surgeries<\/p>

Main symptoms:
\u2022 Pain in the front of the foot
\u2022 Edema (swelling)
\u2022 Sensitivity to pressure (palpation)
\u2022 Difficulty walking or putting weight on the leg
\u2022 Burning or numb sensation (in metatarsalgia or Morton's neuroma)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain and involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick connective tissue that runs from the heel to the toes. This fascia helps support the foot when walking by absorbing some of the pressure on the foot. When the plantar fascia becomes overstretched or injured, it causes inflammation and pain, especially in the heel.<\/p>

Causes:
1. Shoes that do not provide adequate support or shock absorption
2. Overweight or obese patients who put a lot of pressure on the heel area
3. Athletes who perform repetitive activities (e.g. running, basketball, soccer)
4. Foot abnormalities such as flat feet or high arch (pes cavus)
5. Unsteady or poor gait (e.g. hyperpronation or elevated foot)<\/p>

Symptoms:
1. Heel pain: Usually the pain is more intense in the morning, when the person takes the first steps after sleep or prolonged rest.
2. Pain that worsens with prolonged standing or walking: The pain may temporarily subside after some movement, but returns with fatigue.
3. Feeling of \u201ctightness\u201d or \u201cpulling\u201d in the heel or arch.
4. Tenderness and swelling in the heel area or at the attachment point of the plantar fascia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
