| Foot Problems |
Do you suffer from foot problems such as bunions, corns, fallen arches or heel pain? If yes, then did you know there is an 80% chance you will develop a postural problem which can result in hip, back and knee pain and eventually can lead to “wear and tear” arthritis.
Our feet are more important than most of us realise and looking after them will only benefit you in the long term.
We’ve compiled a list of common foot ailments and treatments to help our customers get the best for their feet.
|
| Bunions |
Misaligned big toe joints which can become swollen, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward, and the second joint to angle towards the other toes. Bunions can be hereditary or caused by wearing footwear too small. Severe bunions can be removed by surgical operation but in most cases just wearing footwear with enough toe room is enough to alleviate the problem.
|
| Heel Spurs |
These are growths of bone on the underside of the heel bone. They occur when the plantar tendon pulls at its attachment to the heel bone. This area can then calcify to form a spur. They can be treated by wearing trainers and doing correct warm up before exercise. You can also wear a gel heel pad in normal shoes to add extra cushioning to your heel.
