Metatarsalgia - what is it and how do I get relief?
Metatarsalgia is a general term for sharp, acute and recurring pain in the metatarsal region (“ball”) of the foot. Metatarsalgia can lead to joint problems and damage in the ball of the foot. Excessive pressure on the feet over a long period of time is the most common cause of this painful condition. More often than not, Metatarsalgia comes with wearing poorly fitted shoes like high heels, dress shoes and any other type of shoe with a narrow toe box. With age, feet pads can thin which makes the pain from Metatarsalgia much worse.
The best way to prevent and eliminate the pain from Metatarsalgia is to start wearing shoes with wider toe boxes and better support and Ideal Feet’s unique products that will help take pressure off of the ball region of the feet.
Ideal Feet products are a wonderful way to eliminate this pain. Ideal Feet products are designed to produce the Ideal Feet Effect, which helps all 26 bones and 33 joints in each foot find their proper alignment. When your feet are properly aligned and you are balanced on all four arches of each foot, they can function the way they were designed. This, in turn, helps your body to heal itself from the ground up WITHOUT surgery or injections.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Almost two million American suffer from heel pain every year, and the discomfort can range from mild to severe. Because there are so many types of heel pain, there are as many places to find information and treatment options. However, not all of these sources, whether they are on the internet or elsewhere, provide the results that heel pain sufferers need. Heel spurs, also known as bone spurs and plantar fasciitis accounts for the majority of foot pain and problems. Plantar fasciitis is the most common condition of heel pain. This condition occurs when the long fibrous plantar fascia ligament along the bottom of the foot develops tears in the tissue resulting in pain and inflammation. The pain is usually concentrated in the heel bone, where the plantar fascia attaches to the calaneous. The conditions is often mispelled as: plantar fascitis, plantar fasciatis, planters fasciitis, plantar faciatis, and plantar faciaitis. Correctly pronounced it is “plantar fash-eee-eye-tiss”. Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Individuals who suffer from plantar fasciitis complain of burning, stinging, stabbing, and sharp pains in their heels. Most sufferers will be able to feel it in the morning because the fascia ligament tightens up during the night while we sleep, causing pain to diminish. However, when we climb out of bed and place pressure on the ligament, it becomes taut and pain is particularly acute. As you warm up and move around, the pain will lessen sometimes. Other times it may not. If you stand on your feet or engage in physical activity, it will almost certainly become worse. At Ideal Feet, we offer customized solutions to fit each individual’s needs and help relieve pain associated with plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and other foot problems.
