Our feet bear our body weight and absorb the repeated impact of daily life and sporting activities. Over time, this can lead to natural wear and tear in the joints, known as osteoarthritis.
This can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced movement. It may develop due to ageing, previous injury, or long-term overuse.
In the foot, osteoarthritis most commonly affects the big toe joint (often associated with a bunion), the ankle, and sometimes the midfoot. These areas play a key role in walking and balance, so symptoms can significantly affect daily activities and quality of life.
If you think you have osteoarthritis and it is painful or limiting your ability to carry out your chosen activities, an assessment with one of our Podiatrists may help.
