1 of 5
Heel pain is probably the most common type of foot problem. There are two types of heel pain: Plantar Fasciitis, where the pain is felt under the heel and Achilles Tendinitis where one experiences pain behind the heel area. Heel pain is never triggered all of a sudden, but is a result of overdoing strenuous activities, excessive weight gain, regularly standing for long hours, and wearing unsupportive footwear, which also happens to be its primary cause. Opting for immediate medical attention while reducing strenuous activities, performing feet exercises and applying an ice pack are ideal ways of dealing with heel pain.

The best way to prevent this from happening is never to cut the toenails too short and follow the outline of the toe. Look for immediate medical attention if there s too much swelling or nail infection. Cutting your nails too short and wearing poorly fitted shoes must be avoided to prevent developing ingrown toenails.

Turf toes and ankle sprains are foot problems commonly suffered by athletes or sportspersons.
5 of 5
Turf toe occurs when the big toe starts bending beyond its range of standard motion while ankle sprains arise as a result of misjudged stepping where the ankle joints get twisted. It is mainly athletes who develop these problems due to the intricate footsteps they have to use. Preventing the toe from bending and giving rest to the ankle until the pain subsides are crucial for medically treating turf toes and ankle sprains.
