FAQs
What commonly causes foot pain?
Foot pain can be linked to overuse, minor injury, unsupportive footwear, or conditions affecting the heel, arch, toes, joints or sole. If pain is persistent, worsening or keeps returning, seek professional advice.
Which format is best for local discomfort?
Many people start with a topical gel or cream for targeted areas, or a patch for hands-free support. The best choice depends on where the discomfort is, your skin sensitivity and how you prefer to apply products.
Can I use pain relief gels or patches on my feet?
Some products are suitable for use on feet, but always follow the directions on the packaging. Don’t exceed the stated dose, and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin unless the label says it’s suitable.
Is support tape useful for foot pain?
Support tape can be used to provide additional support during movement or sport. Follow the instructions carefully, and stop use if it causes irritation or worsening discomfort.
Can dry or cracked heels contribute to pain?
Yes. Very dry, rough or cracked heel skin can become sore. Regular moisturising with an intensive heel balm and reducing friction from footwear can support comfort.
When should I seek urgent medical advice?
Seek urgent help for severe pain after an injury, inability to bear weight, a hot red swollen foot, fever, sudden numbness or weakness, open wounds, or rapidly worsening symptoms. If you have diabetes, poor circulation, or reduced sensation in your feet, seek prompt advice for any new pain or skin changes.
