Patients With Achilles Tendinitis Benefit By Adjusting The Height Of Their Shoes.

Q: the American foot Therapy Association advises not to wear it every day. High-heeled shoes Because even the heel half inch (1 inches =2.54l cm) difference can also change the pressure on the foot and the traction of the Achilles tendon. Should we wear shoes of different heights every day? Should we abandon high heels? Why do plain heels wear feet for a long time?

Bai Liqun: it's a matter of time to change shoes with different height. It's a matter of time. Doing the same movements over and over again makes muscles and tendons always do the same movements, and there will be strain, just like sitting there every day. If you are a dynamic person, it is good for your health to change the height of your shoes. But if you are a quiet person, it will be meaningless for him or her to change the height of your shoes. Although there is a certain scientific basis, it is not feasible in China, just like for farmers, it is unrealistic to carry three pairs of shoes with them every day when they pull their cars. This theory does not have practical guiding significance. But for patients with Achilles tendinitis, by adjusting the height of the shoes, there is a certain therapeutic significance for rehabilitation.

Do you mean that the heel shoes that you wear for a long time are usually thin shoes, or too long walking? If these shoes are not made with the physiological curvature of individual arch, there will be a certain set of shoes. A pair of shoes that fully fit the individual arch's physiological curvature needs to be customized. It is a luxury. For example, designers of shoe shoes will measure all the data of individual feet by means of instruments, and then fit them in order to customize them.

　　 Wearing flip flops will cause overstretched plantar fascia.

Q: another theory is that when you are barefoot or wearing shoes without arch support or mechanical control (such as flip flops), the plantar fascia foot sole corresponds to the connective tissue of the heel, which causes excessive fatigue and causes heel pain. I wonder if it can be extended to avoid wearing flip flops and shoes that do not support the feet.

Bai Liqun: if there is no foil, the lateral fascia of the foot will have great lateral force. The arch itself has an arc and a downward force. If there is no supporting force on the foot, there will be a vertical force, which will cause foot pain. In addition, most of the causes of hallux valgus are thin shoes, high heels and pointed tips.

　　 Ice cream is not recommended for ordinary people.

Q: Why are athletes used after games? ice water What is the difference between our feet and the hot feet that we usually say?

Bai Liqun: ice water application feet are highly respected in Western kinematics. Ice compress has analgesic effect on local swelling, mainly due to joint appearance. swelling 。 However, we do not recommend this kind of ice compress because of the poor local blood metabolism caused by ice compress, which is not conducive to foot tissue repair. After ordinary people exercise, they choose to use hot water to soak their feet to relieve the fatigue of their feet. After exercise, there will be a phenomenon of foot swelling. Generally it is better to use warm water of 36 degrees Celsius, but it is definitely not the hotter the water is, the better it is. Don't use the water above 60 degrees Celsius to soak your feet. In principle, you do not need to add anything to soak your feet, because they will not be absorbed. Chinese medicine can be selected to soak and wash, which is good for relieving dry split of feet.
