FEET; AGING EFFECTS, PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
The aging process takes its toll on feet the same as it does elsewhere. Our tissues become less elastic. Women are more likely to have foot issues than men. Hormone fluctuations, including during pregnancy, can cause joints to become laxer. Older women can develop osteopenia or a decreasing of bone density. Wearing high heels at any age front loads the pressure on feet.
Some of the more common pathology includes:
Stress fractures which are tiny cracks in bones of the feet.
Plantar fasciitis involves inflammation of the band of soft tissue running along the bottom of your foot. Carrying extra weight, a sudden increase in high-impact or wearing shoes that don’t provide arch support increase the likelihood.
Bunions are painful bony bumps on the outside of your big toe. Wearing shoes that are too tight may cause it as well as family history.
Flat feet occurs when tissues lose elasticity and collapse. It can run in families.
Osteoarthritis is often associated with general wear and tear just like hips, knees and fingers. Mostly it affects those over age 55 and 60% are women.
(Did You Know? The average American walks 600 miles each year.)
Simple remedies include wearing comfortable, supportive, low-heeled shoes. Switching to lower impact exercises such as swimming or biking can give your feet a break. For acute injuries ice, anti-inflammatories and gentle stretching may help. If foot pain persists more than a week or two you should consult a podiatrist or orthopedic foot surgeon.
Exercises that gently stretch the soft tissues of the foot such as yoga or tai chi can stave off problems. Also, toe spacers help to improve toe alignment like braces on your teeth. Not only does it help to minimize the above foot disorders, but it can help to improve balance that the foot “tripod” needs. Amazon has a number of inexpensive toe spacers.

Testimonial:
“I am a few weeks post op and not only is Dr. McKenna’s work and expertise unmatched (I am so very happy with my results!), but he genuinely cares about his patients. He listens. He looks you in the eye. And even though he has probably heard the same questions and concerns several thousand times, he understands that the answers matter to each patient and handles you with care. I wish all doctors were like him. He and his staff could give lessons. They are the best of any in the profession of medicine I have experienced in my almost 60 years.” -S.P.
