Tired and Achy Feet

Monday, 13 July 2020 00:00

Sore, tired and achy feet can slow anyone down. Not only do tired and achy feet keep you from feeling and performing your best, it may also be an indication to a more serious foot condition. This is a common problem for those who have flat feet or high arched feet, people who work on their feet for extended periods of time, and individuals who are overweight. Ultimately, when the foot muscles are not properly supported the foot muscles become overworked, therefore wearing proper footwear becomes essential. Supportive and comfortable fitting shoes are key to helping you cope with tired and achy feet. If you have become frustrated due to your tired and achy feet, it is important that you consult with a podiatrist. Orthotics may be recommended to provide adequate support for the feet, and a podiatrist can verify if any other foot conditions have developed and treat them accordingly.

Diagnosis

To figure out the cause of foot pain, podiatrists utilize several different methods. This can range from simple visual inspections and sensation tests to X-rays and MRI scans. Prior medical history, family medical history, and any recent physical traumatic events will all be taken into consideration for a proper diagnosis.
