What Causes Foot Cramps and How to Treat Them
Foot cramps are caused by sustained, painful, involuntary contractions of the muscles in your feet. There are several reasons that foot cramps happen. Common causes of foot cramps are physical activity, prolonged standing, dehydration, medication side effects, and health conditions.1 Wearing shoes that do not fit can also cause foot cramps.
What You Should Know About the Forefoot
You may be surprised to learn that your forefoot carries and balances nearly half of the body's total weight, and is designed to handle significant force and wear-and-tear.
Anterior Tibial Tendonitis: What to Know About This Ankle Injury
Anterior tibial tendonitis can cause front ankle pain, rather than inner ankle pain. Some people feel pain on the top of their feet. The condition affects the tendon that connects the foot to the tibialis anterior muscle, which runs down the front of the leg (the shin). The muscles and tendons help flex your foot upward and stabilize your foot arch.
Everything You Need to Know About Peroneal Tendonitis
Peroneal tendonitis, or an inflammation of the peroneal tendons, often presents as pain that is felt on the outside of the foot or outer ankle and gets worse with activity.1 It happens when the peroneal tendons, the peroneal longus and peroneal brevis, become inflamed as they run over your ankle and foot bones.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart.1 The blood vessels in your legs have one-way valves in them that prevent blood from flowing backward.
