Heel Pain

Problem

One of the most common foot disorders encountered is heel pain. Deep pain in the heel is known as plantar fasciitis, which is the inflammation of the band of tissue that extends from the heel to the toes.

Cause

• Can be a result of bad foot posture and mechanics, caused either by incorrect weight distribution or from wearing ill-fitting shoes and hosiery.
• As the heel strikes the ground, the shock and pressure of this motion cause aches and pains.

Footcare Tips

Children’s Feet

Examine children’s feet frequently and when buying shoes have them properly measured with the child standing.
Children’s feet grow very quickly and shoes may need changing every 3-6 months. New shoes should allow sufficient room for growth and movement of the toes. Socks should never be too small and must allow the toes to fan out naturally. Do not pass on shoes from one child to another even if they appear to be in good condition and the correct size. In young growing children barefoot is best wherever possible.

Adults’ Feet

By adulthood, deviation of the big toe has already occurred in many cases, so bunions are an all too frequent probability.
Up until the age of eleven years, boys and girls stand an equal chance of toe deviation. After this, women appear to out-number the men ten to one. The culprits are very frequently high heeled pointed shoes that force the toes to the front and crowd them for more than a couple of hours each day. If your job entails standing for many hours, take a pair of roomy shoes or sandals that will allow your feet to swell without distortion. When buying winter shoes, remember that you could be wearing them with thicker socks or tights so allow extra room.

Elderly Feet

Misshapen feet in old age are not inevitable but years of mistreatment and neglect will naturally produce old feet. It is never too late to care for your feet and in old age, when your feet are less supple, well-fitting shoes with plenty of support are even more essential. Your favourite pair of shoes are not necessarily the best ones, especially if they are well worn. The danger is that, without realising it, you gradually alter the way you walk to compensate for the wear.
