Do your feet hurt? Sometimes. Every day? Yikes!
Occasional foot pain is not unusual, especially after an exhaustive day at the amusement park. Foot discomfort after jogging in shoes that are too old, or the wrong type of jogging shoe for your feet, will typically go away after you fix the problem.
Switching your shoes and wearing different ones throughout the week can also resolve minor foot discomfort. Wearing shoes that fit properly and prevent your foot from slipping and wiggling around is a good way to stop foot pain. This small change can make a big difference if you suffer from ailments like pump bump, where a shoe rubs on the back of your heel. Without making any changes, pump bump can develop into bursitis. Now if you’ve made these or similar changes and your feet still hurt every day, it’s time to find a foot doctor.
The sooner you see a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, DPM, or podiatrist, the sooner you and your feet will feel better. Your DPM can treat your bursitis and any other problems related to your feet, ankles and lower extremities. That pain you feel when you take a step may easily be resolved with an orthotic, shoe insert, the podiatrist can give you.
Many people still have an aversion to doctors. The problem with daily foot pain is that it’s like a toothache, it doesn’t just go away. Like pump bump, your problem can develop into something much more severe. In addition, you’ll suffer longer than you have to.
Dr. Katerina Grigoropoulos, DPM, is just one of the thousands of podiatrists who dedicate their lives to improving the foot health of their patients. From making simple recommendations, “wear shoes with more arch support,” to salvaging limbs, DPM’s can diagnosis your discomfort and set you on the road to recovery.
Your feet shouldn’t hurt everyday, and if they do, it’s time to do something about it. Find a podiatrist. They’ll work with you to get you back on your feet, pain-free. Your feet have to last you a lifetime, and you’ve suffered long enough.
