Don't Let Foot Pain Slow You Down This Holiday Season

Christmas is an exciting time of year. It brings caroling, shopping, Christmas treats, time with family, Christmas trees, and Santa Claus! However, the holiday season can become hectic especially if you’re dealing with foot pain that is slowing you down. Arch pain is a common area for foot pain to occur. This is because the arches are the primary structures of the body that absorb and return force to and from the body to the outside world. Arch pain is generally caused by strain of inflammation in the plantar fascia. It is often caused by overuse, weight gain, or an acute injury. Other causes for arch pain include direct force trauma, ligament strains, muscle sprain, poor biomechanical alignment, stress fractures, or the tightness or lack of tightness of the joints in the foot.  If your arch pain begins to interfere with your everyday life or you can’t enjoy your activities seek medical attention.
