腳痛可能暗示你有其他潛在問題
夏季到來，人們開始穿著夾腳拖鞋或是涼鞋，許多人因為好動的生活模式及不穩當的鞋部支撐，因此和腳痛扯上關連，足部疼痛的起因可能有許多種，骨頭、韌帶、肌腱、肌肉、筋膜、趾甲床、神經、血液血管或皮膚可能是腳部疼痛的來源。
能從腳痛的位置及可能的引發因素去縮去探求腳痛的起因，根據Cary Copeland, DPM, director of University of Cincinnati Health Podiatry services所言︰「腳部疼痛並非尋常，人們卻常常忽略此情況並且接受他的存在，尤其在孩童身上更是如此，正常人要能夠站著一段時間，不論是穿著人字拖或是平底鞋而不感到疼痛。」
這裡有個很重要的觀念，如果你不能照上述所做，代表你身體可能淺在某些問題，Copeland說︰「如果孩童跟你抱怨腳痛，這不正常，如果輕易視之，在未來的人生中可能會有臀部、膝蓋、腰下部的疼痛的產生。」
當你在國王島享受假期時，你發現你的孩子必須每半小時坐下休息，這現象可能隱含其他問題，他並且補充到，未確診的小腿肌肉緊繃會導致早期膝蓋疼痛或是臀部疼痛，並且影響到整個下半身或是整個下背部，不穩定的下肢支撐更會造成許多影響，這些影響是通常是被人們所忽略的。
當你去看眼科醫生時，醫生在你眼睛前方更換不同的鏡片，你很容易發現你的視力變好了，然而，下肢的不平衡支撐常常被人們所忽視，甚至當問題產生時，我們卻不自知。
日常生活中，小孩經常告知他們正在經歷生長痛，這的確會發生在生長過程中，然而過度補償也是成長痛的起因之一，這可能導致膝蓋、臀部、下背部早期發炎，這時我們需要尋求專家的協助。
在日常生活中。早期正視並且去治療這些問題是很重要的，如此我們才能避免日後關節炎或是其他關節或是腳部疼痛，甚至是其他姆趾外翻、雞眼、或是錘狀趾的問題。
人們常把這些問題視為基因遺傳所致，然而的確是生物力學的不平衡所導致。如果這現在被早期發現，這些足部病變是可以被預防的
享受穿上人字拖以及涼鞋吧，但是為了你日後的人生，你要重視足部疼痛的發生。
Foot pain could indicate a deeper problem
Posted on July 14, 2013
As people break out the strappy sandals and flip-flops for the summer season, many are also preparing for the foot pain that is associated with a more active lifestyle and less supportive footwear. Pain in the foot can be due to a problem in any part of the foot. Bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia, toenail beds, nerves, blood vessels, orskin can be the source of foot pain. The cause of foot pain can be narrowed down by location and by considering some of the most common causes of foot pain.
According to Cary Copeland, DPM, director of University of Cincinnati Health Podiatry services, “Foot pain is not normal, and people often accept it—even children,” he says. “People should be able to stand for hours at time—even wearing flip-flops or other flat shoes—without experiencing pain. It’s important to realize that if you cannot, there might be an underlying problem.”
Copeland says that if a child complains of foot pain, it isn’t normal, and that down the road, if not properly addressed, it could lead to hip, knee and lower back pain later in life.
“When you’re enjoying the day at Kings Island and notice that your child needs to sit down every half an hour, there may be other issues,” he says, adding that undiagnosed tightness in the calf muscle can lead to premature knee and hip pain and affect muscles and joints throughout the lower half of the body and lower back. “There are a number of issues that can be caused by an imbalance in the lower extremities, which people may often ignore and compensate in ways that harm other parts of their body.
“When you go to the ophthalmologist and the different strengths of lenses are put in front of you, it’s easy to see that your eyesight improves; however, with lower extremity imbalances, a person is not as aware that there is a problem.”
Oftentimes, children are told that they are experiencing “growing pains,” which do in fact happen during growth periods. However, Copeland says, this can occur as a result of overcompensation, which could lead to premature arthritis in the knees, hips and lower back and a specialist might be needed.
“It’s important to catch these problems earlier in life and remedy them to avoid arthritis or other joint and foot pain—including bunions, corns and hammertoes—later in life,” he says. “People often think these issues are genetic but it is the biomechanical imbalances that may be passed from parent to child, and if caught early, common foot pathologies can be avoided.
“Enjoy your flip-flops and sandals, but for the best health and an overall good quality of life, take care of any foot pain you may have.”
