There are many reasons for heel pain, but most of them are caused by calcaneal spur, which mostly occurs in obese people over 40 years old. There is a layer of elastic fat pad outside the periderm of human heel, which plays a buffering role when the foot bears the whole body weight, so that the calcaneus does not directly touch the ground. With the increase of age, this kind of cushion will undergo degenerative changes and lose its elastic function. The increase in weight will increase the load on both feet and the pressure on the soles of the feet. After a long time, it will lead to pathological changes and form bone spurs. When the heel slightly touches the ground, the bone spur stimulates the peripheral nerves of the surrounding tissues, and the patient feels pain. To treat this disease, we must first lose weight and reduce the pressure on the soles of our feet. In case of acute pain, the time of standing and walking should be reduced, and an elastic soft insole can be added at the heel to cushion the strength of the heel. Patients can stimulate pain points with blunt instruments or massage themselves at any time to gradually form a new protective pad, or go to the hospital for local blocking treatment to eliminate local inflammatory reaction and achieve analgesic effect. Severe symptoms and huge bone spurs can be cured by surgical resection.

Prevention method: outdoor activities. Jogging, walking, cycling, playing table tennis, etc. , so that the joints and ligaments of the heel maintain good elasticity and toughness. Reduce squeezing. If you are going to take part in long-distance hiking, such as traveling and mountain climbing, you'd better wear rubber shoes with soft soles and good elasticity or cloth shoes with thickened insoles. Self massage. Sit cross-legged, push the soles of your feet with your palms, from your heels to your phalanges, unlimited times. The rolling method of pedaling a round stick and rolling back and forth can improve the blood circulation of the sole and relax the tense and tired plantar muscle tissue.

Self-treatment: hole-opening method. Cut a small hole corresponding to heel pain under the insole or sponge insole, and the size can be determined according to the pain range. Buffer method. Under the insole of the painful part under the foot, cotton, old cloth, etc. 0.5~ 1 cm was added to all patients, so that the painful parts under the soles of feet could be continuously squeezed and massaged, and the local aseptic inflammation could be absorbed and spread. Pedal method. Kick the ground hard with your heel as many times as you want.

Heel pain and shoes

According to the research, heel pain is mainly caused by walking activities. Excessive pressure is concentrated in the heel, which leads to the damage of bones, muscles, tendons, soft tissues and other parts, and turns into inflammatory sequelae such as redness, swelling and heat pain. Why can't these pressures be released normally? Poor shoe design, long-term walking or running on hard ground and overweight are all causes of heel pain.

Because.

Researchers recently conducted a three-month study on 255 patients with heel pain to understand the improvement of symptoms by related treatments. The results show that the design of corrective shoes, special arch support equipment and special insole are all helpful to relieve heel pain. The researchers said that if patients are allowed to receive related treatment for a long time, they should choose the trinity method of painkillers, rehabilitation treatment and special foot appliances (corrective shoes, special arch support equipment and special insoles) for related treatment.

Does your foot hurt again now? Please go to the hospital in time, throw away shoes that don't fit, such as platform shoes, high heels and pointed leather shoes, and ask the doctor for correct walking posture, so that you can get rid of heel pain.
