Pain Relief

Whether it's the dull throb of an overworked muscle or the grating stiffness of joint discomfort, pain affects millions of Americans on a daily basis. Much of the foot pain we experience comes from overworked lower limbs. Movement of the foot is controlled by four groups of muscles in the leg. These muscles get a workout not only when our feet are visibly moving (such as when we walk or run) but even when we stand still, because they help keep us balanced and upright.

Pain in the foot indicates that there is something wrong with either the interaction of internal structures of the foot or with the how the foot is interacting with external influences. How and when the pain occurs and the locations of the pain are the primary clues to what may be causing the pain.

Some common foot pain problems that occur are:

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Heel Spurs
• Neuroma
• Achilles Tendonitis
• Ankle Sprains
• Bunions
• Hammertoes
• Ingrown Toenails
