Main causes of foot ailments

Poorly fitting shoes
Poorly fitting shoes, as well as poorly structured shoes can contribute to the development of foot ailments. Some shoes also provide little support, and can contribute to the pain of foot problems..

Workers feet
Being on your feet all day at work can cause feet to get tired and develop overuse injuries.

Systemic medical conditions
Systemic medical conditions and poor circulation can contribute to the causes of foot ailments.

Flat feet
A flat foot is one of the most common causes of foot ailments. 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 and bone spurs. Visit our orthotics station to see how the correct fitting of an orthotic can help.

Inflammation
Inflammation (swelling, increased temperature, loss of function and foot pain) caused by infection, tumors, arthritis or trauma can be a cause of foot ailments.

Structural deformities
Structural deformities, whether congenital or progressive in type, such as hammertoes and bunions, contribute to the pain of many foot ailments.
