Several ailments can lead to foot pain There are multiple ailments that could be at the root of your foot problems, and because of this it is essential to firstly diagnose the problems correctly, as only then can the right solution be found, whether orthopaedic footwear or a simple orthotic. Why do foot problems start? The foot possesses an amazing support mechanism. However, the low arch, pronating foot is simply unable to support itself as this system fails. As force reaches its peak on the ball of the foot the heel lifts, the arch collapses and all supporting muscles and ligaments become susceptible to injury. Our feet support our whole body weight so when things go wrong this can cause problems elsewhere in the body. At the same time, changes in body posture can lead to problems in the feet. Corns, bunions, fallen arches or heel pain If you suffer from obvious foot problems such as corns, bunions, fallen arches or heel pain there is an 80% chance that you have or will develop a postural problem which can result in foot, hip, back and knee pain and eventually lead to 'wear and tear' arthritis. Our feet are more fundamental to our health than most people realize and treating them with care and respect will only benefit you in the long run. Contact us now for a free consultation.
