| Feet
are complex structures
made up of bones,
joints, ligaments,
muscles, tendons,
nerves, blood vessels,
and skin. They are
prone to aches and
pains and a variety
of problems and conditions.
These can include
corns and calluses,
bunions, papillomas
and ingrown toenails.
Most foot problems
are easy to avoid
and simple to treat
but it is important
to visit a chiropodist
if you suffer from
chronic or recurrent
foot pain and/or
dysfunction. |
No one is safe from
foot problems however older and overweight people,
diabetics, athletes and dancers who place more
demand on their feet are more likely to develop
foot disorders. People with diabetes must check
their feet regularly as they are more likely
to develop serious foot problems.
Foot problems
are mainly caused by abuse and neglect and there
are many things you can do to help prevent problems
such as; wash your feet daily and dry them thoroughly,
report foot pain to your doctor, wear properly
fitting shoes, walk often to improve circulation,
warm up before exercising, avoid walking barefoot,
trim your toenails straight across with clippers
specially designed for the purpose.
How
your feet feel can reflect your general health.
If they
hurt, they may
be signalling a more serious condition so it
is important to be alert to warning |
|
| signs.
Foot pain or
problems can
be an early
indication
of problems
such as arthritis,
diabetes, nerve
and circulatory
disorders and
other conditions. |
