Why Do My Feet Hurt?
Foot Pain Got You Down?
Let’s face it, sometimes we take our feet for granted. We expect them to be our body’s shock-absorbers even though we overuse and abuse them!
5 Reasons Your Feet MAY Hurt!
- Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain). An inflammation of the band of fibrous tissues that runs along the bottom of your foot.
- Bunions. A firm and incredibly painful bump at the base of the big toe (furthest away from your toe nail)
- Hammer Toes. A condition that happens when one of the toe muscles becomes weak and puts pressure on the joints and tendons in one or more toes, causing the toe to stick up at the middle joint.
- Tendinitis. When a tendon is overly stressed, a tendon can become inflamed, and that causes pain.
- Pronation or supination. Pronation is the flattening out of the arch when a person’s foot first strikes the ground. Supination is the opposite motion.
These are just 5 reasons you may be experiencing foot pain – or ankle, knee or back pain. There may be other reasons. Book an appointment with your Chiropodist today. It’s the most direct route to good foot health.
