What is chronic foot disease?
Chronic foot disease can cause pain in various parts of the foot during exercise, walking, etc. Like many chronic diseases, it mostly occurs in sports that involve a lot of running and jumping, such as track and field, soccer, and basketball. Chronic foot disorders include sesamoid disorders, extratibial disorders, plantar fasciitis, calcaneal fractures, and calcaneal bursitis, each of which represents pain in a specific location.
The tarsus and metatarsal bones of the foot are connected by ligaments that form longitudinal and transverse arches, reinforced by muscles and tendons. The constant impact of exercise can damage the bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons in the foot, causing pain. In addition to overuse of the feet, chronic podiatry can be caused by poor flexibility and muscle weakness, flat feet and other foot shapes that predispose to disease, inappropriate footwear, and exercise on uneven surfaces.
How to tell if you have chronic foot disease? By examining the tender points of the foot, the location of pain, the deformation of the foot caused by the weight-bearing position, etc. X-rays taken in a weight-bearing position can be used to diagnose flat foot disease.
How to prevent and treat?
Treatment: Once an injury occurs during exercise, it is necessary to reduce the amount of training or rest for a period of time in time. In addition, there are treatments such as ice compresses, hot water baths, low-frequency waves, the use of anti-inflammatory analgesics such as ointments, topical steroid injections, and physical therapy such as the use of plantar orthoses.
Prevention: It is important to think carefully about the causes and eliminate them, we can prevent it in the following ways.
1. Stretch your foot and leg muscles.
2. Apply proper ice packs after exercise.
3. Choose shoes that fit your feet.
4. The use of sole protection
