Foot pain refers to pain anywhere from toes to the back of the heel and can be felt in the soles or top or side portion of the feet. Pain in the foot may affect ligaments, tendons, fascia, bone and joint. Foot pain can be caused by various reasons. The major among these is arthritis (inflamed joints). It mainly includes rheumatoid arthritis (joint inflammation from autoimmune process), osteoarthritis (degeneration of joints from wear and tear) and gout (inflamed joints due to high uric acid levels), injury, sprains and strains. Another cause can be bone spurs that are sharp, pointed bony outgrowths on the feet that mainly present in the heel, causing severe pain while stepping, standing, walking and running. Further causes are Achilles tendinitis, peripheral neuropathy and plantar fasciitis. Achilles tendinitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon (a tendon that connects the calf muscle in the back of the leg to the heel). The cause behind Achilles tendinitis is excessive stress and strain on the Achilles tendon. Peripheral neuropathy results in pain, numbness and tingling in the feet from damage to peripheral nerves. The pain is burning, sharp and stabbing in nature. The condition mainly results from diabetes, alcoholism and nerve trauma in the feet. Plantar fascia is a tissue connection between the toes and heel at the bottom of the feet. The main symptom is heel pain and inflammation that worsens in the morning before while taking a few initial steps, from standing and rising from a seat. Another cause can be corns that are thick, hard skin points from repeated friction and pressure.
Homeopathy offers a large number of effective medicines to deal with foot pain. Foot pain cases respond wonderfully to homeopathic medicines. Homeopathic medicines provide complete treatment in foot pain, whether of recent or chronic origin. These along with managing pain in the feet help to relieve any attending stiffness, swelling, redness, numbness, tingling in the feet effectively. The pain killers usually prescribed in mainstream medicine can be habit forming and also have side effects from prolonged usage, while homeopathy does not cause any adverse effects and does not create any dependency.
Homeopathy can handle cases of foot pain that arise from different causes like arthritis, high uric acid, bone spurs, injury, inflammation of tendons and fascia, bony outgrowths and pain of nervous origin (peripheral neuropathy). All these cases respond very well to homeopathic medicines.
Homeopathic medicines offer complete cure in foot pain cases rather than temporary relief. It goes to the root cause of the problem and gives complete recovery. The results vary from case to case as per the cause and intensity of the problem.

I am 56years old female. Since 2009 i have pain in my lumbar region whenever i pick some heavy material.. Since 20th july 2017, my pain increased and it feels like a needle pain. I took MRI test. And the report stated that i had a develpomental defect in bone which presses my C1 level. Also the fluid of my spinal canal enters my nerve tract known as arnoid chiari Grade1. The pain is more in my right leg and right lumbar region. Also there is heaviness and burning senstion in my right leg and right hand.
I have had right foot pain since last August. It came on suddenly & is very painful when taking the first steps of every day. Also, when I get up after sitting, it hurts. My question is how to use homeopathy to heal my foot. I wear a boot at night which helps but never makes it go away. I do not take any over the counter pain relievers. Thank you for your help.

I have been having symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in both feet starting almost an year ago; I am 76 years of age and am taking alopathic medicines for diabetes, bp and cholestrol. These problems are somewhat under control; I used to jog and walk long distances till an year ago when these neuropathic symptoms occured; now walking is naturally not as comfortable as it used to be; I am quite active; I swim in the season and attend yoga sessions for an hour every day. I was wondering if Kali phos would help me get some relief from this neuropathic problem; will be grateful for your advice.
