When the feet hurt - what to do?
Foot pain goes to the heart. High time to do something about it to avoid torture. Who suffers from foot pain, wonders where the pain comes from and what is to be done about it?
The feet are generally treated carelessly, though they deserve the most care and recognition. They are not, like the face, washed every day, creamed and massaged. But on the contrary. Feet are hard-working on a long day's work and are punished by being stuck in too small or too tight shoes. A forgotten appendix, which nobody sees and observes. Is it any wonder that your feet are on strike?
There are three possible causes for foot pain:
- Diseases
- Deformations of the feet
- insufficient care
Foot pain from diseases
There are many diseases that are responsible for foot pain. Innate or triggered by acquired diseases. These include muscles, ligaments, tendons, wear, nerve inflammation and vascular disease.
Foot pain due to misalignment of the feet
Most aching feet are caused by deformities. If the misalignments are not innate or caused by an accident, it can be assumed that inappropriate footwear is the triggering factor. Feet are patient. It sometimes takes a few years for the feet to report pain.
A big problem, especially among women, is the footpad (hallux valgus). It can be clearly seen that the cause, worn too tight shoes for years, is to blame.
Did you know that misalignment of the feet can be triggered by back pain or by the profession?
People who suffer from back pain move their weight to move painlessly. In order to enable a symptom-free walking, a rest posture is taken, which burdens the foot. A physiologically healthy rolling while walking is not possible. As a result, misalignments of the feet result over time. Here, the cause must be treated and worn to support insoles to guide the foot back into the correct position.
For occupations that are performed in an unhealthy position, the foot loads are too high. This includes working in a stooped posture where the lower ankle joint is overstressed. Over time, the Achilles tendon shortens and pain of the heel, forefoot or pain of the entire sole of the foot are the result.
Also affected are occupations in which the constant standing on a ladder is part of everyday life.
Possible misalignments:
- equinus
- flatfoot
- fallen arches
- splayfoot
By overloading the feet with tight stockings, shoes or friction, further diseases arise:
- Housemaid's knee
- calluses
- Heel Spurs
- Haglund
- hallux valgus
- Thorny calluses under the sole of the foot
- Warts. Causes by human papillomaviruses.
- Nerve pain radiating to the foot. This must be clarified by a doctor, because the causes are many.
This happens with insufficient care of the feet:
It is frightening that well-groomed feet are not a matter of course. Many people are unaware that even unkempt feet are harmful to their health.
Cornea on the feet, can not be avoided?
Remedy: An evening foot bath with a cornea sponge helps. Then a good foot cream to keep the dry skin supple.
If the skin remains chapped and brittle, bacteria migrate. In addition, a healthy rolling through foot pain is not possible.
Toenails are too long because the back hurts when you cut yourself?
Remedy: A regular visit to a podiatric practice will help.
Dirty toenails
Remedy: Put on glasses. Dirty toenails in public are visible in summer or at the doctor's visit for everyone. That makes an unkempt impression in any case.
Nails cut short look neat and dirt under the nails can not stick. Dirt quickly settles under the toenails after gardening, which does not disappear when showering or Fußbad. A small root brush does the job.
Sweaty feet can not be changed?
Remedy: When wearing work shoes or tight-fitting shoes, a welding foot is often unavoidable. An unpleasant situation for the people. An evening, lukewarm foot bath with sage helps quickly and effectively. Then thoroughly dry the toe gaps to prevent athlete's foot.
Wear fresh socks daily and air the shoes overnight.
Athlete's foot and nail fungus can not be avoided?
Remedy: Athlete's foot and nail fungus are triggered by a filamentous fungus and do not heal on their own. A doctor's visit is mandatory and the instructions must be followed.
With fungal infestation, foot hygiene is very important because fungal threads penetrate deep into the skin and spread. A daily short foot bath so that the skin does not swell, in lukewarm water is appropriate.
A mushroom thrives best in a humid environment. Therefore, drying with a foehn between the toes is very important, so that the fungal spores die off. Change socks daily and spray the shoes with a spray against athlete's foot.
Tip: A healthy foot indicates a healthy body. Treat yourself to a podiatrist every four to six weeks. So the feet are always well maintained. Your health to love.
