Postpartum Foot Pain — Why It Happens

Postpartum Foot Pain

Quick Answer: Postpartum foot pain is common from pregnancy weight, hormonal ligament loosening, and new walking patterns from carrying baby. Most resolves in 6-12 months with supportive shoes and gradual exercise.

Common Issues

Plantar fasciitis (most common), bunion progression, foot widening, posterior tibial tendinitis. Custom orthotics + supportive shoes resolve most cases.

FAQ
