| Foot Ache |
| |
What causes a foot ache? There are several factors that can contribute to a foot ache. Nearly all causes of a foot ache can be categorized under one or more of the following conditions.
Here are some major causes of a foot ache:
- Poor fitting shoes, as well as poorly structured shoes, can cause a foot ache.
- High-heeled shoes can cause a particular type of foot ache for women who wear them, as they concentrate all weight and pressure on the toes.
- Some types of clogs and sandals also provide little support, and can contribute to your foot ache.
- Systemic medical conditions and poor circulation can contribute to the causes of a foot ache.
- Strenuous exercising can cause overuse injuries, which can injure the feet, and are yet another contributor to the causes of a foot ache.
- A flat foot is one of the most common causes of a foot ache. As the arch starts to collapse, the band of ligament and the muscle in the bottom of the foot absorbs the impact of pressure from standing or walking. Eventually, it stretches beyond its limits, leading to possible muscle tears, bone spurs and a foot ache.
- Inflammation (swelling, increased temperature, loss of function and a foot ache) caused by infection, tumors, arthritis or trauma causes a foot ache.
- Structural deformities, whether congenital or progressive in type, such as hammertoes and bunions, cause a foot ache.
