- Is It A Foot Sprain From A Fracture
By: Dr Christopher Segler | - The midfoot is a complex area involving 10 different bones coming together to form more than a dozen separate joints. A sprain in this area can result in aching or throbbing midfoot pain, swelling and bruising. Sometimes the pain will start on the top of the foot and go deeper all the way through to the bottom of the arch. This type of injury can interfere with running and has the potential for serious problems if ignored.
By far the easiest way to injure the midfoot is with trauma. ...

- Deeper Than It Seems: A Thorough Look At Puncture Wounds In The Foot
By: Dr. Jennifer Feeny | - Puncture wounds are more serious than most people think. Because the wound creates a hole in the foot, rather than a tear like a common cut, they are extremely prone to infections and cause more internal damage. What would seem like a simple infection on a small wound can easily spread to the bone and joint and endanger the limb if not treated in a timely manner. The severity of a puncture wound is very hard to gauge for a person without a medical background because the depth and internal damage ...

- What Causes Foot Drop?
By: Kent Smith | - A person with foot drop is unable to lift the front part of his foot (a movement known as dorsiflexion). When a person with foot drop attempts to walk, the foot will slap down on the floor. The affected person may try to accommodate the condition by walking on his toes, but he will be unable to walk on his heels (one of the tests a podiatrist uses to diagnose the condition). Foot drop usually only affects one foot, but in certain cases both feet may be rendered immobile.

- Finding The Right Pair Of Shoes To Prevent Foot Injury And Foot Deformity
By: Kent Smith | - A surprising number of Americans have feet that are two different sizes. Some studies estimate the number is upwards of sixty-percent. Many of these people can get away with fitting both feet into the same size shoes. If the feet are just a half-size apart than both feet should be able to comfortably fit as long as you are careful to avoid designs with unusually narrow toe boxes or any shoe that pinches your feet. Even feet that are a full size apart can usually compromise. If the left foot ...

- Keds: A Sneaker For Everyone
By: Kent Smith | - Keds were the original sneakers a name adopted because of the flexible, rubber sole that enabled you to sneak up behind someone without them noticing. The brand originated in 1916 and was produced by a company known as US Rubber (now called Uniroyal). Originally, the company had wanted to call the shoes Peds, the Latin term for feet. But the name was already taken and so the P was replaced with a K and a new branding giant was born.

- Quality Shoes For People With Plantar Fasciitis
By: Kent Smith | - People who suffer from plantar fasciitis know that the condition can be excruciatingly painful and that there is little they can do to alleviate that pain besides resting and icing their feet. Supportive footwear can play a major role when it comes to alleviating pain, but just any old athletic shoe wont do. People with plantar fasciitis should invest in shoes that provide significant orthopedic support. In particular, shoes should have considerable arch support and at least a 1 inch ...

- Dress Shoes That Are Stylish And Comfortable
By: Kent Smith | - When most people think of shoes with orthopedic support, they think ugly. I am certainly no stranger to this phenomenon. I had to wear orthopedic shoes for the first six years of my life and no matter how many times my mother told me they were special, to me the shoes looked hideous. Wearing special shoes meant that I didnt get to choose the shoes I wanted, that I had limited selection when it came to style and color (yes, this does matter to a five year old), and that I had to ...

- Why Personal Injury Claims Aren't Just For Ambulance Chasers
By: Thomas Pretty | - It seems like it's impossible to go through an advert break on TV without seeing a piece about personal injury lawyers; they're everywhere it seems, and like many other people, I questioned their validity. It wasn't until I had an accident in the street which led to me being unable to walk, much less work, that I realised that I had been swayed by the common tabloid opinion.
I was walking through the local high street with my friend when I tripped on a loose paving slab. Since it ...

- Rx For High Heel Foot Pain: Injectable Cushions For Feet
By: Ronald Worley | - Many women suffer pain and burning in the ball of the feet from wearing high fashion shoes. Given a choice between wearing fashionable shoes and pain, many women choose pain rather than give up their fashionable shoes and boots. There are many reasons for this: career choice requiring such footwear, peer group expectations, and an emotional and monetary investment in looking the best one can. Orthotics and cushions in fashion shoes seldom give full relief.

By: Danielle K. D. | - Our feet are complicated little tools for our body. Because the foot is such a large combination of bones and joints, many things can be set out of place and cause pain.

- Shoe-shopping With Polio Or Clubfoot
By: Danielle K. D. | - We all know that shoe shopping can be a nightmare. It's hard not to feel like one of Cinderella's stepsisters: the shoe never quite fits! It is either just too wide, or just too narrow, and it always finds a way to pinch and blister our feet. Indeed, comfort seems to be the last priority when it comes to shoe fashion. But what is a casual nuisance for the average shoe-shopper can be a serious frustration for someone with special footwear needs. Polio survivors, for example, often suffer fro ...

These shoes do not necessarily have to be unattractive, however. Many companies design flat, specialty shoes that are just as fashionable as high-priced ...

- Foot Arch Supports And Their Role In Treating Flat Feet In Children
By: Fred Salomon | - Flat feet during the early years is commonly tough to spot when they are first born, since baby fat often hides the true shape of the foot.

As the child ages, a normal arch should appear between 4 and 6 years of age, commonly being developed by walking barefoot on uneven terrain. This develops muscles, tendons and ligaments. If a normal arch doesnt occur during this development stage, then ...
