Sore Feet & Foot Problems – Here’s The Right Sore Feet Remedy
Sore Feet is a common affliction that can be treated using the right foot care products like shoes for sore feet and other special orthotic products.
One out of every six adults suffers from foot problems. More than 11 million seniors or one out of every three people over 65 years old experience constant sore feet that hurt. A large proportion of those with foot problems are women who wear shoes that are too small for their feet. Specially designed shoes for sore feet can help to solve these problems.
Some of the common types of sore feet or other foot problems are listed below but each of them also have a specific sore feet remedy.
Fore foot pain
Fore foot pain in the "ball of your foot", that area between your arch and the toes is generally called metatarsalgia (met'-a-tar-sal'-gee-a). The pain usually centers on one or more of the five bones (metatarsals) in this mid-portion of the foot.
Heel spurs and heel pain or Plantar fasciitis
The pain is usually centered just in front of the heel and on the bottom of the foot towards the arch. It can also be on the entire bottom of the foot. Or, one might experience heel pain with the first few steps taken in the morning. The most frequent cause of nagging heel or arch pain is plantar fasciitis — an inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thin band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. A telltale symptom is sharp pain in the arch when getting up in the morning or after prolonged inactivity.
Cavus Foot or rigid high arch
Your foot has a raised area in the insole that forms the arch in each foot. When the arch is higher than normal, the foot is “Cavus”. When a person with Cavus Foot stands, the heel and toes are drawn inward and sometimes cause a claw toe appearance. A Cavus Foot can appear to have a very high arch and the foot tips to the outside.
Flat Feet
Flat Feet or “Fallen Arches” effect people who do not have a space on the inner side of their foot where the bottom of the foot is off the ground. Your arch develops between the ages of 3 to 10. Those who do have a low arch, or no arch at all have flat feet.
Stiff big Toe or Hallux rigidus
This is an arthritic condition that affects the main joint of the big toe normally caused by wearing out of the joints, which is common to most arthritis conditions. It has no definite cause and may result from injury, infection or a medical condition such as gout or just plain age. It produces a pain or stiffness in the big toe. In some people a bony bump may develop on the top of the joint.
Factors causing sore feet and
foot problems
Tight calf muscles, shoes with little arch or heel support, too much physical activity, going barefoot and being overweight all can contribute to sore feet or foot problems.
Weak foot muscles: Foot muscles absorb some of the impact that is otherwise placed on the fascia. Weak muscles cause the fascia to absorb the impact. This cause often surfaces when someone starts a new activity.
Tight muscles: Tight calf muscles place more strain on the fascia. Increasing workout intensity or duration without proper stretching of the Gastrocnemius can induce this.
Shoes: : Worn shoes may be too flexible in the middle of the arch causing increased tension on the fascia.
Increase in intensity or duration of exercise: Increasing running distance, length of a workout, or intensity can put more stress on the fascia, and cause Plantar Fasciitis.
Weight: Increase in weight can add tension to the fascia.
We offer a specialized sore feet remedy for each of these problems using quality products like insoles, shoe inserts and so on.
