Why do my heels hurt after standing for a long time?

Sometimes you may feel some pain in your heels after walking. There are many reasons for this pain. Here I will share with you what to do if you have heel pain.

1

Some hard leather shoes can cause heel pain. At this time, you can change to a pair of slightly softer shoes (but don't wear very soft cloth shoes, it is recommended to wear casual shoes), or add a pair of softer and more elastic insoles under the hard soles. When walking, try to choose flat concrete or stone roads, and avoid bumpy dirt roads and very soft lawns.

2

Soak your feet in hot water every night. Add about 20 ml of vinegar to the hot water. Massage the soles of your feet while soaking your feet to dredge your meridians. Also, pay attention to keeping your feet warm and wear better quality socks. Especially at night, wrap your feet before sleeping, or use a foot warmer.

3

Kidney problems may also cause heel pain. Kidney tonification is also helpful in treating heel pain. You can usually eat some kidney-tonifying foods such as sesame and walnut powder, beef and sheep bones, seafood (soft-shelled turtle, shrimp, scallops, kelp, etc.), lotus seed porridge, donkey-hide gelatin, etc.

4

Drink more milk, soy milk and other calcium supplements, and do more foot exercises, such as walking, jogging, and race walking. The best recommended exercise is race walking. Then you should stretch the ligaments of your legs and feet every day, do some leg stretching exercises, and be careful not to exceed the weight limit.

If the heel pain is caused by bone hyperplasia and bone spurs, you need to go to the hospital for treatment. Common cases can be treated with acupuncture and cupping, while severe bone spurs require surgery.
