Bad posture and wearing shoes with high heels and pointy toes can result in aching feet and sore toes, A warm foot soak using Epsom salts helps sore feet. The salts draw out toxins, reduce swellings from sprains, and the magnesium in the salts acts as a muscle relaxant. Use half a cup of salt in a pan of warm water. Doctors around the world are now using injectable soft tissue fillers to create “foot cushions” for persons suffering from chronic foot pain. Specifically, the technique involves the injection of fillers, primarily hyaluronic acid, into the tender areas on the weight-bearing surfaces of the foot. Hyaluronic acid fillers are, of course, a staple of aesthetic anti-aging medicine- most commonly used to restore volume to the face and fill facial lines. A “foot cushion procedure” begins with your MD identifying the sensitive areas on your feet and the appropriate filler for use (brands like Voluma are available for more robust filling than Restylane, for instance). Because feet are especially sensitive, he/she will likely combine the filler with lidocaine to minimize discomfort. Once injected, the hyaluronic acid absorbs water in the surrounding skin and plumps to form a podiatry pillow that can reduce pain by as much as 90% after 7 days.
