One of the most common sources of foot pain is experienced in the plantar fascia, a strong band of tissue on the sole of the foot that is attached to your heel and the ball of your foot. Problems with the plantar fascia occur when it becomes inflamed or if there is significant degeneration, causing considerable pain in the heel or foot arch. This condition can be brought on by tight calf muscles, quick changes in the level of activity, or excessive weight. If you begin to experience this type of pain, it is important to consider your footwear, as pinching the toes together or heel elevation can also contribute to the problem.
A number of supplements can provide comfort for the foot and relieve pain. MSM, bromelain, manganese, green tea, ginger, horse chestnut extract are all products whose foot care qualities have been well documented. A number of lotions, creams, and other products are also available to treat and prevent problems associated with athlete’s foot, difficulties with itching and burning, and can also eliminate fungus and kill unwanted bacteria that cause troubling odour.
Unseemly veins in the legs can be embarrassing as well as uncomfortable. Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that take the form of blue or red lines on the top of the skin. Although people often don’t experience any problematic symptoms, spider veins can cause aching, throbbing, or burning, generally following a prolonged standing period. Varicose veins occur when a vein become weak or malfunctions, causing blood to flow backward and stretch the veins. Varicose veins give a bulging and blue appearance, and most often appear in the legs, as the legs are most affected by varicosities due to the added pressure caused by standing and walking. Leg care products are available that have a range of effects that bolster circulation and collagen for healthier vascular walls.
