Proven content

Foot pain is a nagging ailment that usually passes quickly, but sometimes chronic and troublesome can mean serious diseases. Foot pain may be related to a minor cause such as uncomfortable shoes, but it may also be a systemic disease. Feet-related ailments should not be ignored because they play an important role in our body.

Foot / foot pain – definition

Foot pain may be caused by past injuries, and may indicate more serious conditions that, at first glance, have nothing to do with the legs. The feet play a very important role in our body, because they are responsible not only for moving (the dynamic function of the foot), but also for keeping our body weight (static function). Sometimes these functions can be disturbed, which causes pain on the sole of the foot.

The foot consists of three parts:

1. midfoot,
2. walk,
3. fingers.

In addition, it has a sole and a dorsal side. Pain most often occurs on the sole of the foot.

Foot pain – causes

Foot pain can be caused by many different factors. The causes of this ailment may be directly related to the foot, as well as result from general diseases that affect the entire body. The most common causes of foot pain include injuries:

1. contusions,
2. sprains,
3. dislocations,
4. fractures,
5. excessive load on the feet,
6. osteoarthritis.

Foot pains can also be caused by abnormalities in the tendon system:

1. the so-called runner’s toe, characterized by pain accompanied by swelling; appears when the weight of the body is transferred to the affected limb,
2. Achilles tendon injury or inflammation,
3. corns, that is, hardening on the joints of the toes; the cause is prolonged pressure leading to pain while walking,
4. tarsal canal syndrome,
5. hammer finger: is the flexion gland of the finger (usually the second); there is an imprint on the tip of the finger that causes pain while walking, which can even radiate to the metatarsus,
6. flat feet or high position of the arch of the foot (flat feet is a defect of the foot, which is characterized by flattening of the arches of the foot and the transfer of support from the XNUMXst head of the metatarsal to the XNUMXnd and XNUMXnd metatarsal; patients complain of severe pain, especially after prolonged walking).

In the event of such abnormalities, we recommend the use of orthopedic insoles. At Medonet Market you can buy Dynamic orthopedic insoles – FootWave SUPPORT in various sizes and at a favorable price. Dynamic orthopedic insoles are also available – FootWave SUPPORT in version 3/4.

Skin infections can also cause foot pains, such as:

1. interdigital mycosis,
2. infection of the interdigital spaces,
3. ingrown nail.

Among the distant and systemic causes of foot / foot pain, the following deserve attention:

1. nerve diseases, e.g. sciatica
2. peripheral neuropathies: disturbances in the sensation or motor innervation of the foot, causing pain in the feet, tingling and burning are often associated with coexisting diseases such as diabetes, lack of vitamins, hematological tumors, chronic inflammatory diseases, alcoholism, these abnormalities may also be secondary to the treatment used neurotoxic in the form of chemotherapy and antibiotics,
3. gout: a disorder of uric acid metabolism characterized by periodic and recurrent arthritis of the foot (most often the first metatarsophalangeal joint).

Foot pain is also caused by Morton’s Metatarsalgia, which is characterized by compression of the plantar nerves. It usually appears between the XNUMXnd and XNUMXrd fingers. Prolonged compression leads to Morton’s neuroma, then the nerve is surrounded by fibrous connective tissue. The pain of this disease is burning and burning.

2. heel spur – is a long-lasting inflammatory process located in the sole of the foot; symptoms of this ailment appear in only 5% of population. The cause of the heel spur may be overweight / obesity, poorly chosen shoes, untreated injuries or standing work,

How to treat foot pain?

Considering the fact that feet play a very important role, the related ailments should not be ignored. In people who complain of foot pain due to ongoing inflammation, anti-inflammatory and analgesic preparations are administered in the form of an oral or ointment. Various types of physiotherapeutic treatments are also used to eliminate inflammation.

We recommend Foot Muscle Stimulator, which you can use at home. With its help, the leg muscles are stimulated to work and regenerate.

In turn, foot pain resulting from deformation of the fingers, bunions or foot defects – primarily requires the right choice of footwear and exercise to strengthen the muscles of the foot. If you have problems with overlapping fingers, especially the little toe, use a Wedge with a ring and a little finger guard to restore the correct position of the toe, reducing pain and improving walking comfort. We also recommend Gel Small Finger Separators with a cover, available at a favorable price on the Medonet Market.

On the other hand, pain in athlete’s foot requires proper hygiene and the use of special antifungal agents in the form of ointments or creams.

In case of foot pain, you can also use a Foot Massager with a water-heating function, which will bring visible relief. It is available on Medonet Market. Also try: SHARP gel with bay leaf extract, Gel for joints with hemp extract or Relaxing and soothing gel for muscles and joints with devil’s claw, which reduce swelling and pain.

The feet are mainly recommended to rest, especially in case of pains resulting from overload. You should lie down with your legs up as much as possible and give up any physical activity. You can also apply cold ice packs to the sore spots and lubricate them with anti-inflammatory preparations. It should be remembered that bringing the feet to their original form requires a lot of time, so you should take care of them at all times. If ignored and left untreated, foot / foot pains lead to corns, blistering, pain in the lumbar spine, knees, and the other foot.

Note: You should always consult a doctor for foot pains of unknown origin. This is important for getting the right treatment.

In the case of varicose veins and swelling, a balm with extracts of grape leaves and horse chestnut can provide relief.
