Troubled “Soles”

Does one of your shoes wear out before the other? Do you have chronic, unexplained knee or lower back pain? Do your feet feel uneven when you walk? If you answered with anything but no, you may want to consider orthotic inserts—one of the best and easiest methods of treatment for the troubled sole. At the Beaver Valley Foot Clinic, we help you identify, diagnose and treat foot discomforts.

Treatment for Troubled Soles, with the Use of Orthotic Inserts
One of the most common discomforts we encounter at the Beaver Valley Foot Clinic is with sole and lower leg discomfort. These pains may seem unexplainable, and therefor untreatable. Yet, our experts know how to ease the pain and treat its source—and the solution may be easier than you think. Orthotic inserts, for instance, can help with lower back, lower leg, foot and sole discomforts. Keep in mind that the orthotic inserts available at your local store will probably not do the trick, and can often make your foot issues worse. You and your feet deserve professional, reliable treatment.

Causes Of Troubled Soles

The soles of our feet are an important part of our body that helps us maintain balance, supports our weight, and enables us to move around. However, many people experience issues with their soles that can cause discomfort, pain, or affect their ability to walk or stand for extended periods of time. Here are some common causes of troubled soles:

Plantar Fasciitis

It is a common condition that causes inflammation and pain in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It is usually caused by overuse, excessive exercise, or standing for long periods.

Flat Feet

Also known as fallen arches, flat feet is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, causing the sole of the foot to come into contact with the ground. This can cause pain and discomfort in the feet, ankles, and legs.

Metatarsalgia

This is a condition that causes pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot. It is usually caused by overuse or wearing ill-fitting shoes.

Morton’s Neuroma

It is a condition that causes pain and numbness in the ball of the foot, often between the third and fourth toes. It is caused by a thickening of the tissue around the nerve that runs between the toes.

Heel Spurs

A heel spur is a bony growth on the heel bone that can cause pain and discomfort in the heel and sole of the foot. It is usually caused by repeated strain on the muscles and ligaments of the foot.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

This is a condition that causes pain, tingling, and numbness in the sole of the foot. It is caused by compression of the nerve that runs along the inside of the ankle.

Other causes of troubled soles may include stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, gout, or diabetes. It is important to consult a doctor or a podiatrist if you are experiencing any foot-related issues to determine the underlying cause and get appropriate treatment

Answer Yourself Honestly & Always get a Professional’s Diagnosis
Before you can fix a problem, you must first identify it. By recognizing and identifying your symptoms, and asking yourself certain questions, you can narrow down on the real issues behind your pain and discomfort. Figuring out how to express these bothers will allow your podiatrist to more accurately diagnose and treat issues causing them. The Beaver Valley Foot Clinic is here to help treat your heel, lower leg and other foot discomforts.
