Foot Pain – How to Manage it?

Foot pain is a common issue suffered by many and equally, ignored by many. Some of the common foot pain are overly stress, extra pressure and inflamed area of certain areas of your feet. This can lead to multiple foot pain and problems such as plantar fasciitis, morton’s neuroma, metatarsalgia, achilles tendonitis, heel spur, hammertoes, bunions, corns or calluses, high arch or flat feet.

It can start with mild pain in your arch or heel but if left untreated, it can lead to becoming worse and more painful over time. Some of the foot pain and problems can be caused due to age, certain activities or weight. As your feet carry a full load of your body weight, it puts added stress and pressure as your stand, walks or run. Therefore, it is also helpful if you reduced certain feet-stressing activities and maintain a healthy weight.
