different types of foot injuries
What are the Most Common Types of Foot Injury? Athlete's foot is a common and highly contagious foot fungus. An x-ray will determine whether or not there is a fracture in the foot. Fractures to the foot can result in immobility. A common cause of pain in the heels is plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of a tendon stretching from the heel to the front of the foot. The stress of a long-distance running program can contribute to a stress fracture in the foot.
