2. The heel pain of elderly patients is relatively complicated. In addition to the above factors, the plantar soft tissue of elderly patients may also age, which will make a part of the heel more vulnerable to injury and pain.
3. The heel of the body consists of 33 joints and 100 tendons and ligaments. The ligament of the sole of the foot is connected with the bottom of the ankle fracture, so when walking, great resistance will be concentrated on the ligament below the ankle fracture. In this small area, continuous traction friction can easily lead to ligament inflammation and osteoarthrosis, causing pain. At the same time, weight is also related to heel pain. Generally speaking, obese people are more likely to suffer from heel pain.
4, there are bone spurs in the heel, this kind of thing is mainly produced by the elderly. After X-ray, it will be clear that there are bone spurs of different sizes on the joints. Bone spur is not the root cause of pain, it is just a protrusion, which makes some mechanisms more vulnerable to friction and contusion, leading to radiculitis. Therefore, the degree of heel pain is related to the obvious degree of some inflammatory phenomena, but not directly related to the size of bone spurs.
How to prevent and treat heel pain? 1, choose to wear soft and suitable shoes to reduce the pressure of heel work and avoid ankle fracture and injury. Reduce the stimulation to the heel net weight, stand less and walk less, especially don't deliberately take cobblestone roads, so that the heel can get enough rest, which is conducive to the repair of inflammation.
2, the elderly should avoid excessive load and fatigue, rest more, release pressure.
3, moderate foot fitness exercise, improve the energy and ductility of the whole body muscle ligament, such as walking barefoot on the beach.
4. Before applying external medicine, it is best to soak your feet with warm water, and then apply friction agent or ointment on the outside.
5, in addition to physical therapy, you can soak your feet with mugwort water for half an hour before going to bed at night, which can improve the blood circulation system of your feet and help relieve pain.
According to the above detailed introduction, everyone understands the cause of heel pain. In fact, the most important factor of heel pain is the tendon strain at the heel caused by standing for too long. If you want to recuperate, besides having a good rest and choosing the most suitable shoes, you need to cooperate closely with the doctor for treatment. Only in this way can the problem of heel pain be completely eliminated.
