A Foot Pain Chart is a visual tool that depicts the leg below the ankle and points out potential sources of pain in this area.
Alternate Name:
During a medical examination, doctors are recommended to communicate with their patients to determine where the pain is coming from - show the patient a chart and ask them to demonstrate where it hurts. This instrument can also be useful to medical students who aspire to become podiatrists or orthopedic surgeons - they get to learn the anatomy of the foot and discover what underlying issues cause pain and discomfort the patient wants to get rid of. Patients can also figure out the reason for the pain before they visit their doctors yet remember: any continuous pain, soreness, or inflammation you cannot explain or handle on your own requires medical attention - do your research but trust the medical professional to diagnose and treat you properly.

It is better to visualize the foot from all angles so that the patient is able to show the doctor where the painful sensations are coming from. You may insert three or four illustrations or drawings (they can be lifelike or stylized) and use semi-transparent colors to highlight different areas of the foot in order to showcase various issues that often manifest in this body part. It is advised not to overload the diagram with long explanations of illnesses and injuries - it would be reasonable to draw an arrow or straight line indicating the illness or condition in question next to the image of the foot and provide more details as well as advice on how to deal with the issue elsewhere.
