Dangers of Wearing High Heels

Hi, I am Katie I came in here to Foot Solutions today because like mostly woman out there will probably wear stilettos 4, 5 days a week, I do the same thing. I have been told here by Dawson to cut back up a little bit but just can’t or so cute, but they are giving me a little bit of pain in the ballof my foot and then also towards the end of the day I noticed that my lower back starts to hurt little bit.

Dawson just how bad are stilettos for my feet - what exactly am I doing here to myself?

Well, first thing is to actually got a real tarsus to put largely in to front of your leg position that’s been placed on constant basis, so when you are walking, you are actually standing on your toes. As you take every step it begins to turn like this so you are talking about, that’s look familiar right there, so this is what you are doing - with every step and even when you are sitting down your foot is still in Solvating position naturally! Foot should be like this when you have 3 points contact from your feet and then tarsi so you should be walking like this on metatarsal. So what you are telling me that I am putting most of the pressure on my toes but mainly, this one here, to be exact.

OK! So is that where is the medial cuneiform comes from?

Well, it can! If your foot is walking to a certain motion is gonna go down to that and is going to adjust in any way possible to accommodate that motion and so if you turn in so your toe is going to turn in.

OK! Let’s say I do still want to wear stilettos, I will cut down it to three days a week I promise but no less what can I do at work to help relieve the pain a little bit?

Wear a good controlling shoe and while you are in that controlling shoe. It will be possible to control the arch because you know where this will go. It will fall in like that so Middle Phalange and not the foot beyond this is mostly the dept and then we understand, you still want to be fashion ate. So you can wear it as long as this temporary motion insists of consistence.

There you have it! Dawson from Foot Solutions bringing you better help for your feet!

Metatarsalgia Treatment – Balls of Foot Pain

"Metatarsalgia" is basically the discomfort experience and the forefoot which is spaces in balls of foot. I mean the facts of course the metatarsalgia heads - most which are the bones of course at make ends of the metatarsalgial bones. Metatarsalgia heads are basically the bones that make up ball the foot. And the most common of course area of pain would be the first metatarsalgial as well as second metatarsalgial heads. The joint of course is right behind the big toe. You can also be experience the others but the most common area of pain would be the big toe joint as well as second metatarsalgial head. Assuming here little bit, the solutions that we can offer for this type of discomfort. So, as I said, the pain is of course is most common experience in first and second metatarsalgial head and the metatarsalgias all over the ball foot where we would experience pain in some parts of foots, that’s of course we are trying to find solutions for you. I mean, when you experience of course pain in forefoot first thing you do is, get off the feet make sure you get proper amount of rest. If you do lot of activities, you play lot of sports in of course you want to probably maybe go from running to pool running or of course exciting, for example just make sure that this area right here has chance to of course recuperate from the excessive load has been placed on it.

At the same time, of course may want icy areas as well just to have reduce information and that will help reduce pain overtime also. However, make sure that you don’t rise more than 20 minutes of the time, to make sure that you are not burning skin. Now the other things of course first thing we usually recommend from metatarsalgia depending of course on where the location is, if you have pain on the big toe or of course second metatarsalgial head. There is metatarsalgia pads like these that usually of course can help offload pressure on stream metatarsalgial heads. These pads would be placed behind the balls foot in about this area and the idea here is of course to help off weight on the second, third and forth metatarsalgial head, as well as of course, if you position slightly differently you can lower the pressure of the first and second metatarsalgia head more substantially. Less pressure being off loaded on fourth and fifth!

If you want to low the pressure, take the pressure off the entire forefoot. Its options like metatarsalgial pads, these areas are little bit wider and the apex which is the highest point of course can spends accross and this can be place in this area to help of course off weight on all metatarsalgial heads that’s another option which is available. If you have lack of padding under the feet, that if the bones can almost pokes through the skin, you don’t have lot of cushioning left under the metatarsalgial bones, there is a metatarsalgial pads, padding of course metatarsalgial cushion, that can be added to the foot usually place in-between third and second toe that helps to restore some of that padding then has been lose through aging more on others to generated diseases. For dress shoes we have similar devices like these Joe pads here that can be added to a dress shoe. Also make sure that you footwear, it is quiet wide in front so you don’t want to have something that is too tight in the front will cause stress on the metatarsalgials. If you look for something that has broad toe box and lots of space free toes to move or waggle them around easily.

If you can get footwear, actually slopes upward slightly. This is also a perfect way to reduce pressure on the forefoot it is often metatarsalgial heads for that matter. Last but not least, the option is arch support, which you can add to your shoes, they will help offload some of the weight of the foot on to the arch area and help to reduce of course problems such as pronation I mean, crack the biomechanical expects of the foot and these things would be added to your shoes, support foot leather and reduce of course for in rotation of the foot which can also cause in excessive pressure on the of course plantar aspect of the big toe joint. If you continue to have new problems, please do see your physician to make sure there is not another underline problem that has not been correctly diagnosed.
