What causes heel pain?

There are many reasons for heel pain. Clinically, there are mainly: (1) Achilles tendinitis; (2) calcaneal spur; (3) Calcaneal periostitis; (4) Subcalcaneal fat pad injury; (5) calcaneal fracture; (6) Subcutaneous bursitis of calcaneus (7) Soft tissue strain of tarsal sinus; (8) calcaneal tuberculosis, tumor, etc.

The maintenance methods of heel pain are: 1, rest; 2. Choose shoes with thick soles, soft soles and soft insoles. It is best to have a certain curvature of the heel to adapt to the curvature of the heel; 3. The heel should be padded, such as the heel pain pad made of silicone, to protect the heel and reduce friction; 5. Functional exercise.

Treatment: 1, physical therapy; 2. Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics; 3. Local blocking therapy; 4. Correct insoles, relieve plantar aponeurosis, reduce irritation and relieve pain.

Pay attention to protect the heel.

Now, more and more people are suffering from foot pain. According to Dr. Ronald of the American Podiatric Association, more than 70% of the hotline calls received by the association are related to high heels.

Most heel pain is caused by ligament inflammation. The human heel consists of 33 joints and more than 100 tendons and ligaments. The ligament of the sole of the foot is closely connected with the bottom of calcaneus. When walking, great traction is concentrated in a narrow area on the ligament below the calcaneus. Repeated traction friction can easily lead to inflammation of the joints between ligaments and bones, causing pain. At the same time, weight is also related to heel pain. Generally speaking, the fatter people are, the more likely they are to suffer from heel pain.

Shoes are one of the main causes of heel pain. The bones, muscles and ligaments of the foot bear all the weight of a person, which requires shoes to fully support the arch of the foot, so that the soles of the feet are evenly stressed and the ligaments are properly relaxed. However, in order to reduce the cost, some manufacturers cut corners on the internal structure of shoes, resulting in the internal structure of shoes can not effectively support the arch, and the strength is concentrated in a certain part of the sole, which will increase the pressure on ligaments and make them more prone to inflammation.

Therefore, to protect the heel, we must first choose qualified shoes, especially sports shoes; At the same time, be careful not to make your feet too tired. Some people, such as salespeople, have to stand for a long time every day because of work needs, so they can change their standing posture, stand back and forth alternately, or sometimes hold the counter to relax their ankles to prevent a certain part of the ligament from bearing too much force for a long time. If there is pain and inflammation in the heel, you should stop exercising and let the ligament rest fully. You can also use the "calcaneal pad" to raise the heel, so that the stress point of the sole moves forward, reducing the tension of the heel ligament and helping the ligament recover as soon as possible.
