FOOT PAIN
There is a tendency to ignore the feet and doctors pay little
attention to "minor" things like aching feet, but they can cause a lot
of problem. When your feet hurt, you heart all over. It's a fact that
foot miseries have a way of 'Infecting' the whole person. Aching feet
can make it hard to feel anything but tense & irritated. Your posture
will be thrown out of line. And the more out of line your body is the
greater the stress & fatigue. When you are slumped over, your digestive
tract won't function well. You are likely to develop lower back problem,
knee problem. Most important perhaps, is the damage that bad feet can
inflict on your plans for a full, active life. It will make walking a
painful obligation rather than a pleasure.
Today in the world 80% of people suffer from foot pain/ache at one time
or other. It is the third most common medical complaint. Why is the foot
so vulnerable to ache & injury? For one thing, it is very complex organ,
a structure of 26 bones i.e. 12.5 of all the bones in the entire body,
56 ligaments & 38 muscles. With each step you take, the whole ensemble
must shift & flex properly to carry your weight. There is a lot that can
go wrong. This complex structure takes a heavy dose of wear & tear. By
the time the average person is 35, his/ her feet have carried him/ her
some 45,000 miles normally.
When you walk, each step puts your entire weight on each foot. Pushing
forward, raising your heel as you step, you may concentrate a force greater
than your weight on a localized area. Like these thousands of time you
are beating the soles of your feet, the bones and the ligaments hurt after
a while. Being farthest from the heart, the feet generally have the poorest
circulation in the body and this diminishes with age, which means that
infection, inflammations are slow to heal. We ate the first animals to
walk up right on two feet and it's possible that our feet are not built
to bear as much weight as we give them. When we walked on soft grass,
there was no problem. But now we spent most of our time on hard surfaces
and our feet have to absorb a lot more shock. Experts say, like many people,
if you stay off your feet whenever possible, they will become even more
vulnerable for pains/ aches. A sedentary way of life makes feet weak.
When you get to the bottom of many foot problems, what you will find is
a pair of shoes. Improper, ill fitting shoes cause major foot, ankles
& knee problems even your walking will be improper. Ill-designed & ill
fitting shoes can cause damage to muscles & joints. The whole leg will
be paining knee, ankle, foot & toe. 85% of foot problems are with women
who wear high heeled & tight foot wears while shoes can be blamed for
many foot problems. They can not be held accountable for all. Many people
have hereditary imbalance & they do not bear weight evenly & properly.
A difference in limb length or an injury can produce foot & legs and persistent
pain. Foot problems will affect the knee, thigh, back & shoulder out of
line. If you are an active runner, jogger or tennis player, incidentally,
you should expect your share of foot pain. A minor injury can cause major
problems.
Intelligent foot care is particularly crucial for anyone with diabetes,
heart disease or arthritis, the more you walk the more will maintain the
circulation in your legs, so you can avoid knee, ankle & toe pains, it
is essential to recognize that your feet are not mere decorations, but
sensitive vital parts of your body deserving of good care. If your feet
are actively giving you trouble then it is advisable to see a professional
and the earlier the better. Like many medical problems, disorders of the
feet respond best when treated early. And many systemic diseases- diabetes,
circulatory problems & rheumatoid arthritis for example may show up first
in the feet, so they provide an early warning system to do the needful
prevention. For better foot care it is advisable to seek a unani herbal
treatment than depend on synthetic medicines.
