Sore Feet

The podiatrists at Podobrace explain more on this page about “Painful Feet.” When you experience pain in your feet, it can cause significant discomfort. It’s completely understandable that you may have questions. Tired, burning, and aching feet are something almost everyone experiences from time to time — whether you're young, older, or even a child. Foot pain is often a symptom of another condition but can also occur on its own. Fortunately, there are simple, affordable, and effective ways to relieve foot pain. We’re happy to explain these options to you below.

Causes of foot pain

The cause of foot pain is sometimes obvious, such as walking or standing for long periods. Other causes are less clear but can still lead to moderate or severe foot pain over time. Below are some common causes:

• Fungal infection
• Allergies
• Diabetes
• Nerve disorders
• High-heeled shoes
• Poorly fitting footwear
• Nerve compression near the big toe
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome

Symptoms of painful feet

Symptoms of foot pain can range from mild discomfort to intense pain. Some people experience constant pain, while others only have temporary symptoms. In some cases, the pain can be so severe that it disrupts sleep. If the pain makes it difficult or even impossible to walk, we recommend consulting your general practitioner.

Treatment for foot pain

Here are some treatment options you can consider for relieving foot pain:

• Wear cotton socks
• Avoid prolonged standing or walking
• Change your socks and shoes after walking
• Wear properly fitting, comfortable shoes
• Wash your feet with a soothing or refreshing balm

Insoles for painful feet

Insoles are a highly effective way to relieve foot pain. Using insoles helps distribute pressure evenly across the entire foot. The podiatrists at Podobrace have selected several tested insoles listed at the bottom of this page. These have been carefully chosen to help you get rid of foot pain safely and efficiently.
