Introduction Foot pain refers to experiencing pain in various parts of the foot namely: toes, forefoot, nails, arch, ball, heel, and the hindfoot. Foot pain is a common occurrence in many people. Foot pain significantly affects a person’s normal daily routine, body balance increases vulnerability to falls, and generally lowers the quality of life (Hill et al., 2009 p.1). Foot pain is common in older than young people (Hill et al., 2009 p.2). Pain may range from mild to sharp with fluctuating occurrence or may be chronic. Foot pain may be caused by a number of factors such as poorly fitting shoes, medical conditions, or a high impact activity (Simon & Zieve 2009). Medical conditions that may cause foot pain include a number of arthritis conditions the significantly, including osteoarthritis, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis. Others are flat foot, diabetes, Morton Neuroma, and Sesamoiditis. Ill-fitting shoes may put a strain on toes and foot muscles, bones, and joints leading to pain. High impact activity such as jogging and strenuous aerobics (Simon & Zieve 2009) may cause foot injuries or injury to other parts of the legs which may be felt in the foot. Hill et al. (2009) found out foot pain can be associated with increased age, female sex, obesity, and pain in another body region. Treatment may involve a number of measures such as wearing proper-fitting shoes and avoiding high-impact activities. In some cases simply sitting down may relieve the pain. Severe foot pain conditions may require the use of orthotics, insoles molded from a plaster cast of the patient foot (Simon & Zieve 2009). Causes The causes most significant to foot pain are related to medical conditions. Chief among them are the chronic types of inflammatory arthritis namely: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. Arthritis refers to inflammation of joints that result in pain, swelling and stiffness (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) 2009, p.4). Hundreds of various types of arthritis have been identified. More than 3 million Australians are affected by arthritis and its prevalence has risen in recent years (AIHW 2009, p.3). With regard to foot pain the three significant arthritis are Osteoarthritis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis. The arthritic foot may also develop as a result of injury such as sprains or fractures. This may happen years later if the injury was not properly treated. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. It is characterized by destruction of bone cartilage resulting in pain, swelling and stiffness at the joints. OA is common in the elderly as the body naturally loses its ability to replace worn out cartilage with new one in old age. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most severe. Its causes are not really known but it is characterized by the body immune system attacking its own cells and tissues (AIHW 2009, p.4). It is systemic and apart from the characteristic swelling, inflammation and pain at joints affects many parts of the body such as lungs, eyes, mouth, skin, heart. With regard to foot pain, the forefoot especially the Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints at the base of the toes are most affected during a rheumatoid arthritis attack (AIWH 2009, p.4). Gout on the other hand results from deposition of uric acid crystals (Monosodium Urate) in tissues and fluids within the body (CDC 2010). Foot pain relate
