Do your feet hurt by the end of the day? So do mine and, I’ll bet if you ask one out of every ten people the same question, you will get a similar response. Why? Shoes are slowly killing your feet!
Take off your shoes for a minute …you’re probably saying “ahh” right now…that’s because, although shoes provide humans a way to a “normal” one in the process.
What’s the difference between walking “naturally” and “normally” you ask? With my investigation came a bevy of answers to the age old question, “What’s Causing My Aching Feet?”
William A. Rossi, D.P.M. believes that people in non-shoe wearing societies, who walk with feet directly to a basic standard of perambulation.
“It is biomechanically impossible (to walk naturally) because of the forced alterations from the natural in foot stance, postural alignment, body balance, equilibrium, body mechanics and weight distribution caused by shoes,” maintains Dr. Rossi.
The “heel-to compensate for the shoes’ inherent design faults.
Since barefooting is not practical, what can a person do to minimize shoe abuse?
The obvious answer is toe box will provide wearers with the least amount of discomfort and pain over the long term.
In this department, men might score better than ladies as it is difficult to feet over time, the correct choice will be obvious.
A few design flaws in shoes and the physical ailments they can cause: Shoes that have inflexible soles can cause Achilles Tendinitis, an inflammation of the tendon in the back of the ankle which can lead to the area.
A lack of insole support or shoes that are worn down unevenly in the heels or soles can cause foot pain to stabilize the feet.
High heels, especially six- inchers like stiletto a shift in your stance, balance issues, low back pain and, of course, unbearable foot pain.
Are modern humans who trek in some form of foot enclosure doomed to prescribe the right kind of help for your problem.
In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.
Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.
The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
Dynamic ultrasonography examination demonstrating the full thickness tear and already occurring muscle atrophy due to misdiagnosis and not referring the patient to proper diagnostic workup
Demonstration of how very small muscle defect is made and revealed to be a complete tear with muscle contraction under diagnostic sonography (not possible with MRI)
Complete tear of rectus femoris with large hematoma (blood)
Separation of muscle ends due to tear elicited on dynamic sonography examination
