What is Heel and Foot Pain?

Many people find that they have cramping, sore and tired feet at the end of the day, and this can often progress into conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis.

These conditions arise when your feet don’t receive the support they need, or from restrictive footwear that puts undue strain on certain points of your foot. Over time, this means sore, painful heels, cramping feet and a host of other issues that can make day-to-day life uncomfortable.

What Causes Heel and Foot Pain?

Aches and pains in feet can come from many places, but one of the biggest culprits is wearing the wrong footwear.

Many people spend long days wearing shoes that provide little arch support and comfort, while those in high heels can suffer because their shoes transfer all their weight to the ankle joints and certain parts of the feet. Rather than an even distribution of weight over the foot as it should be, many shoes leave you feeling sore and pained at the end of the day, especially if you have been stood up or walking for long periods.

What Can Help?

The first place to start treatment for most painful heels and feet is in assessing your footwear.

If you wear dress shoes or heels to work every day, then you are probably going to suffer. Most shoes in these styles are designed to look good rather than to care for your feet. One solution is the use of supports to provide more comfort.

Another solution is to rest your feet in cool water at the end of the day, as this will help reduce inflammation and, in turn, pain.
