Most people put up with sore feet for months. They change shoes. They buy insoles online. They hope it settles. π¦Ά
It rarely does. Your feet carry you through thousands of steps every day. When something is off down there, your knees, hips and back often pay for it.
You may benefit from seeing a podiatrist if you have:
β Heel pain that is worst with your first steps in the morning
β Ingrown, thickened or painful toenails
β Hard skin, corns or calluses that keep coming back
β Pain in the ball of your foot or under your toes
β Foot or ankle pain when you walk, run or play sport
β Questions about orthotics or the right footwear
3 mistakes that keep foot pain going:
1. Waiting for it to go away. The longer it runs, the longer it takes to settle.
2. Buying insoles off the shelf. Generic insoles guess at your problem. A proper assessment shows what your feet actually need.
3. Treating nails and skin at home. Cutting into an ingrown nail or a corn yourself can lead to infection. A podiatrist can sort it safely.
You don't need a GP referral to see a podiatrist. If your feet are sore, just book in.
