It's common sense that we should and try to get used to washing feet with hot water and doing a foot massage. But it's often an "ulterior motive" which aims at conducting health care and treatment on the other parts of our body. Daily care for the feet is very limited for many people,
we always have the conception in mind that our feet are just like a hard-working worker, they won't get sick. Even if there is something wrong with that, who also won't die. Compared to our internal apparatus, nothing serious needs to do with feet. But what's the result?.
It's reported by the 2, 2002 Economic Daily that foot disease has become the "patent" of Chinese adults. Epidemiological Surveys in Five Years also shows that one out of two suffers from foot disease on average in China, and a higher proportion of 3/4 is found in adults. In most cases, people suffer from the following foot disease: corns, embedded armour, flat feet, hallux valgus, ulcers, ringworm (foot) (Hong Kong foot), onychomycosis (ash armour), thick calluses, toenail within the blisters, hallux valgus, plantar pain , hammer toe plantar sarcolemma and so on.. Serious fungal infection of the feet is also closely associated with systemic diseases such as diabetes, vascular disease.
What causes foot disease? American Dr. Scholl'' s and the international communication research data of Foot Medical School in Temple University shows that the main causes of foot disease of adults are as follow: 5% due to excessive movement, 11% from the walking imbalance, 18%because of age, while 64% wear shoes improperly, and only 2% for unknown reasons, this study clearly tells us that the majority of foot disease are caused by shoes.
According to the U.S. Foot Medical Association's study, a normal person walks about 8000 steps on average every day, the pressure they bear is approximately equal to their weight, even more than 3-4 times of the body when they are running; people walk about 110,000 kilometers in his whole life, and most of which are on the hard road.
We each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and various tendons, and muscles. Every step we take will draw all of these. As you can imagine, shoes do play an important role in the body function. Generally, to wear the right shoes won't bring us too much trouble. However, if you have foot pains, lying to rest will not necessarily eradicated the pains, because the essential reason lies in shoes but not the feet. Many people can not buy a pair of shoes of right size for they don't know the essentials of purchasing shoes, or they pursuit too much about fashion, which is also the main reason for their foot disease.
In China, the hospital doctors confirm that about half of the patients coming to the orthopaetics department have foot disease caused by shoes, most of them wear the shoes which do not fit their feet and lead to all kinds of foot diseases. When people have foot pains, they have to change the way of the pose or gait to relieve the discomfort, but on the contrary, this often causes back pain, headache and leg cramps and other symptoms, which is simply a vicious cycle.
