Jerrido, DPM<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/podiatry\">podiatrist<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care&#8217;s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/bone-and-joint-institute\">Bone and Joint Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With a return to workplaces and more active social lives, many of us are wearing \u201creal shoes\u201d again, and our feet are not happy about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are seeing an uptick in patients with bunions, hammertoe, and heel pain,\u201d Dr. Jerrido says. \u201cAlthough many have dealt with these issues for years, we are probably seeing more of them because of the months we have spent at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at some of the more common causes of foot pain and what you can do about them.<\/p>\n<h3>Bunions<\/h3>\n<p>A bunion is a hard bump on the lower joint of the big toe or little toe (bunionette) that forms when bones in the front part of the foot become misaligned. Tight-fitting shoes are usually the culprit, but not always. The natural shape of the foot and arthritis can also cause bunions.<\/p>\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apply bunion pads to the swollen joint.<\/li>\n<li>Apply ice or cold compresses.<\/li>\n<li>Wear shoes that don\u2019t compress the toes.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your toes flexible by stretching them regularly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIn some cases, surgery is necessary to relieve the pain,\u201d says Dr. Jerrido. \u201cHowever, recovery can take weeks to months.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Corns<\/h3>\n<p>These small, round, yellow bumps most often form on the top of the toes but can also develop on the outer edges of the soles of the feet. They are caused by pressure from another toe or poorly fitting shoes.<\/p>\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear corn pads that relieve pressure on the spot.<\/li>\n<li>Trim the corn by shaving the layers of dead skin.<\/li>\n<li>Wear larger shoes that fit your foot comfortably and do not rub.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hammertoe<\/h3>\n<p>This condition is characterized by upward bending of the middle joint of the second, third, or fourth toe and is usually caused by muscle imbalance and ill-fitting shoes. It is not uncommon for a person with bunions to have hammertoe as well.<\/p>\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apply padding to create a cushion between the highest part of the toe and the shoe.<\/li>\n<li>Choose shoes with a broad, deep toe bed.<\/li>\n<li>Consult your health care provider, who may recommend exercises to relax the muscle and flatten the toe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Heel Pain<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cHeel pain may occur under the heel or behind it, and it has several causes,\u201d says Dr. Jerrido.<\/p>\n<h3>Achilles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/tendinitis-and-tenosynovitis\">Tend<\/a>onitis<\/h3>\n<p>The Achilles tendon is a fibrous tissue that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. Overuse causes inflammation that results in pain, swelling, and stiffness in the back of the heel.<\/p>\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rest your foot.<\/li>\n<li>Apply ice to the tendon to decrease pain and swelling.<\/li>\n<li>Wrap the heel and ankle to reduce swelling and limit movement of the tendon.<\/li>\n<li>Raise the foot to above the level of your heart when resting, and sleep with the foot elevated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIf home remedies do not decrease the swelling or pain within a few weeks, seek the advice of your health care provider,\u201d Dr. Jerrido says. \u201cThe issue may be a tear, which is much more serious than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/tendinitis-and-tenosynovitis\">tendonitis<\/a> and will require more intensive treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Plantar Fasciitis<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/plantar-fasciitis\">Planter fasciitis<\/a> is an inflammation of the band of tough tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes causes pain in the heel or arch. The pain is usually the most severe when you first get out of bed.<\/p>\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rest your foot.<\/li>\n<li>Stretch the muscles in the heel and foot.<\/li>\n<li>Try an over-the-counter pain reliever.<\/li>\n<li>Choose shoes with good arch support and a cushioned sole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Heel Spurs<\/h3>\n<p>Bone growths at the bottom of the heel are caused by ill-fitting shoes, an abnormal walking gait or posture, or activities like running. Many people have heel spurs, but those with flat feet or high arches are more likely to feel pain.<\/p>\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear a cut-out heel pad.<\/li>\n<li>Choose well-fitting shoes with shock-absorbing soles.<\/li>\n<li>Use over-the-counter pain relievers.<\/li>\n<li>Rest the foot, and apply a cold pack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIf these remedies do not help, it\u2019s important to contact your health care provider,\u201d Dr. Jerrido says. \u201cThey may prescribe physical therapy or a custom orthotic. For severe, prolonged pain, surgery may be necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>How to Avoid Most Foot Pain<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWearing shoes that fit correctly and provide the support you need is the single best way to avoid foot pain,\u201d says Dr. Jerrido. She offers the following tips for choosing shoes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure that your shoes match your foot shape and have a toe box that doesn\u2019t put pressure on your toes. There should be 3\/8 inch to 1\/2 inch of space between the tip of your longest toe and the end of the shoe.<\/li>\n<li>Try on both shoes. Often one foot is slightly larger than the other; be sure that the shoes fit the larger foot.<\/li>\n<li>Shop for shoes in the afternoon. Your feet tend to swell during the day, and it\u2019s best to try on shoes later in the day to ensure a comfortable fit.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that the shoes are comfortable when you try them on. Don\u2019t expect to \u201cbreak in\u201d your shoes.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid high heels. Look for styles with heels of no more than 1- 1\/2 inches. The higher the heel, the more pressure is placed on the front of the foot, which causes problems down the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIntricate and hard-working, our feet contain\u00a026 bones, 30 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments,\u201d Dr. Jerrido says. \u201cThey are mini-machines that can take us far, but they may need a tune-up from time to time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you are experiencing foot pain that interferes with your daily activities, make an appointment with a specialist at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/bone-and-joint-institute\">Cooper Bone and Joint Institute<\/a> by calling <a href=\"tel:8008266787\">800.8.COOPER<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.826.6737<\/a>), or use our online <a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php\">appointment request form<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Dolor de Pie: Una Consecuencia Inesperada de la Pandemia<\/h2>\n<p>Dejando a un lado las bromas sobre el &#8220;vendaje pand\u00e9mico&#8221;, los meses que pasamos en casa han causado que muchos de nosotros experimentemos un problema inesperado: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/foot-pain-and-problems\">problemas en los pies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUn a\u00f1o o m\u00e1s de caminar con calzado no estructurado como chancletas, pantuflas o nada en absoluto puede haber causado que los ligamentos de nuestros pies se estiren y que los arcos se estresen\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/joan-jerrido-dpm\">Joan M. Jerrido, DPM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/podiatry\">podiatra<\/a> en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/bone-and-joint-institute\">Bone and Joint Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Con el regreso a los lugares de trabajo y vidas sociales m\u00e1s activas, muchos de nosotros estamos usando \u201czapatos reales\u201d nuevamente, y nuestros pies no est\u00e1n contentos con eso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstamos viendo un aumento en los pacientes con juanetes, dedo en martillo y dolor en el tal\u00f3n\u201d, dice el Dra. Jerrido. \u201cAunque muchos han lidiado con estos problemas durante a\u00f1os, probablemente estamos viendo m\u00e1s debido a los meses que hemos pasado en casa\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Veamos algunas de las causas m\u00e1s comunes del dolor de pies y lo que puede hacer al respecto.<\/p>\n<h3>Juanetes<\/h3>\n<p>Un juanete es una protuberancia dura en la articulaci\u00f3n inferior del dedo gordo o peque\u00f1o del pie (juanete) que se forma cuando los huesos en la parte delantera del pie se desalinean. Los zapatos ajustados suelen ser los culpables, pero no siempre. La forma natural del pie y la artritis tambi\u00e9n pueden causar juanetes.<\/p>\n<p>Qu\u00e9 hacer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aplique almohadillas para juanetes en la articulaci\u00f3n inflamada.<\/li>\n<li>Aplicar hielo o compresas fr\u00edas.<\/li>\n<li>Use zapatos que no compriman los dedos de los pies.<\/li>\n<li>Mantenga los dedos de los pies flexibles estir\u00e1ndolos regularmente.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cEn algunos casos, es necesaria la cirug\u00eda para aliviar el dolor\u201d, dice la Dra. Jerrido. \u201cSin embargo, la recuperaci\u00f3n puede llevar semanas o meses\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>Callos<\/h3>\n<p>Estas protuberancias peque\u00f1as, redondas y amarillas se forman con mayor frecuencia en la parte superior de los dedos de los pies, pero tambi\u00e9n pueden desarrollarse en los bordes exteriores de las plantas de los pies. Son causados \u200b\u200bpor la presi\u00f3n de otro dedo del pie o por zapatos que no calzan bien.<\/p>\n<p>Qu\u00e9 hacer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use almohadillas para callos que alivian la presi\u00f3n en el \u00e1rea.<\/li>\n<li>Recorta el callo rasurando las capas de piel muerta.<\/li>\n<li>Use zapatos m\u00e1s grandes que le queden c\u00f3modos a su pie y que no rocen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Dedo de martillo<\/h3>\n<p>Esta condici\u00f3n se caracteriza por la flexi\u00f3n hacia arriba de la articulaci\u00f3n media del segundo, tercer o cuarto dedo del pie y generalmente es causada por un desequilibrio muscular y los zapatos que no calzan bien. No es raro que una persona con juanetes tambi\u00e9n tenga dedo de martillo.<\/p>\n<p>Qu\u00e9 hacer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aplique una almohadilla para crear un coj\u00edn entre la parte m\u00e1s alta del dedo del pie y el zapato.<\/li>\n<li>Elija zapatos con puntera ancha y profunda.<\/li>\n<li>Consulte a su proveedor de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, quien puede recomendarle ejercicios para relajar el m\u00fasculo y aplanar el dedo del pie.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Dolor en el tal\u00f3n<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cEl dolor en el tal\u00f3n puede ocurrir debajo o detr\u00e1s del tal\u00f3n y tiene varias causas\u201d, dice la Dra. Jerrido.<\/p>\n<h3>Tendinitis de Aquiles<\/h3>\n<p>El tend\u00f3n de Aquiles es un tejido fibroso que conecta el m\u00fasculo de la pantorrilla con el hueso del tal\u00f3n. El uso excesivo causa inflamaci\u00f3n que resulta en dolor, hinchaz\u00f3n y rigidez en la parte posterior del tal\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Qu\u00e9 hacer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Descance el pie.<\/li>\n<li>Aplique hielo al tend\u00f3n para disminuir el dolor y la hinchaz\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>Envuelva el tal\u00f3n y el tobillo para reducir la hinchaz\u00f3n y limitar el movimiento del tend\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>Levante el pie por encima del nivel de su coraz\u00f3n cuando descanse y duerma con el pie elevado.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cSi los remedios caseros no disminuyen la hinchaz\u00f3n o el dolor en unas pocas semanas, busque el consejo de su proveedor de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica\u201d, dice la Dra. Jerrido. \u201cEl problema puede ser un desgarro, que es mucho m\u00e1s grave que la tendinitis y requerir\u00e1 un tratamiento m\u00e1s intensivo\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>Fascitis plantar<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/plantar-fasciitis\">Fascitis plantar<\/a> es la inflamaci\u00f3n de la banda de tejido resistente que conecta el hueso del tal\u00f3n con los dedos del pie provoca dolor en el tal\u00f3n o el arco. El dolor suele ser m\u00e1s intenso cuando se levanta de la cama por primera vez.<\/p>\n<p>Qu\u00e9 hacer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Descance el pie.<\/li>\n<li>Estirar los m\u00fasculos del tal\u00f3n y del pie.<\/li>\n<li>Intente un analg\u00e9sico de venta libre<\/li>\n<li>Elija zapatos con buen soporte para el arco y una suela acolchada.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Espol\u00f3n del tal\u00f3n<\/h3>\n<p>Los crecimientos \u00f3seos en la parte inferior del tal\u00f3n son causados \u200b\u200bpor zapatos que no calzan bien, una forma de caminar o una postura anormal, o actividades como correr. Muchas personas tienen espolones en los talones, pero es m\u00e1s probable que las personas con pies planos o arcos altos sientan dolor.<\/p>\n<p>Qu\u00e9 hacer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use una talonera recortada.<\/li>\n<li>Elija zapatos que le queden bien con suelas amortiguadoras.<\/li>\n<li>Use analg\u00e9sicos de venta libre.<\/li>\n<li>Descanse el pie y aplique una compresa fr\u00eda.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cSi estos remedios no ayudan, es importante que se comunique con su proveedor de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica\u201d, dice la Dra. Jerrido. \u201cPueden recetar fisioterapia o una ortesis personalizada. Para el dolor intenso y prolongado, puede ser necesaria la cirug\u00eda\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>C\u00f3mo evitar la mayor\u00eda de los dolores de pies<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cUsar zapatos que le calcen correctamente y le brinden el apoyo que necesita es la mejor manera de evitar el dolor de pies\u201d, dice la Dra. Jerrido. Ella ofrece los siguientes consejos para elegir zapatos:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aseg\u00farese de que sus zapatos coincidan con la forma de su pie y tengan una punta que no ejerza presi\u00f3n sobre los dedos de los pies. Debe haber un espacio de 3\/8 a 1\/2 pulgada entre la punta del dedo m\u00e1s largo y el final del zapato.<\/li>\n<li>Pru\u00e9bese ambos zapatos. A menudo, un pie es un poco m\u00e1s grande que el otro; aseg\u00farese de que los zapatos se ajusten al pie m\u00e1s grande.<\/li>\n<li>Compre zapatos por la tarde. Sus pies tienden a hincharse durante el d\u00eda, y es mejor probarse los zapatos m\u00e1s tarde para asegurarse de que le queden c\u00f3modos.<\/li>\n<li>Aseg\u00farese de que los zapatos sean c\u00f3modos cuando se los pruebe. No espere &#8220;que se estiren&#8221; sus zapatos.<\/li>\n<li>Evite los tacones altos. Busque estilos con tacones de no m\u00e1s de 1-1\/2 pulgadas.
