Foot Pain Treatment

You might experience pain in the foot or any of its parts like the ankle, toes, heel, and sole. Foot pain can be an age-related issue. Moreover, injuries to the foot cause excruciating pain, like when you twist your ankle while walking, during sports, or your toes get hit against some hard objects. Poorly fitted shoes cause foot pain and wearing high-heeled shoes. High-heeled shoes put a lot of pressure on the toes and are often painful when worn for too long or on uneven surfaces.

Foot injuries from sports and fitness activities like running, jogging, and aerobics are common causes of foot pain. Inflammations, overuse, and injuries cause foot pain. The location of the pain determines the kind of treatment that can cure the condition and ensure pain relief.

The medical term for heel pain is plantar fasciitis which means inflammation or irritation of the band of tough tissue connecting the toes to the heel bone. Pain is felt in the morning when you first step out of bed. Pain spreads across the heel, and you can feel it in the arch. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help to manage the pain, and taking enough rest can even relieve pain. To prevent the pain from resurfacing, choose shoes with cushioned soles and good arch support. Doing some foot and heel muscle stretches reduces the pain.

Heel spurs are abnormal bone growth. Such growth is detected at the bottom of the heel. It is an extremely painful condition. It can happen due to abnormal posture or walking, from running, or wearing poorly designed shoes. The spurs hurt when you try to walk or stand. People with high arches or flat feet are more vulnerable to heel spurs. A lot of people might have painless heel spurs.

Trying some physical therapy and resting your foot can relieve pain. Wearing an orthotic, a custom-made insert inside the shoes, and a cut-out heel pad lessens pain. However, you can seek a consultation to understand the nature of the problem and to seek a solution.
