What is the cause of pain in the instep meridians?

There are many reasons for meridian pain in the dorsum of the foot. There are congenital factors, such as joint reasons, neural reasons, or muscle reasons, etc. There are also acquired reasons, mainly due to too little exercise in daily life. If you exercise suddenly, it may cause such a phenomenon. In addition, you should also be alert to this situation caused by peripheral neuritis. You should exercise more often to avoid being overweight.

What is the cause of pain in the instep meridians?

1. Congenital factors

Congenital factors are caused by joints, nerves, muscles, etc. For example: flat feet, genetics, reduced and unbalanced plantar muscle strength, etc., reduce foot function, causing instability and subsequent pain in the left instep.

2. Acquired Factors

1. Pain in the instep caused by not exercising for a long time and sudden exercise.

Nowadays, people have cars to go out and go home after work. They sit in the office all day long. Few people do exercise anymore. For people who lack exercise, long-term lack of exercise will cause atrophy of the instep muscles. Once proper exercise is performed, it will cause pain in the instep.

2. I exercise regularly, but my instep still hurts after exercise.

It is recommended to have a small routine physical examination, because pain in the instep is mostly caused by neuralgia or bone hyperplasia.

3. Excessive fatigue or peripheral neuritis.

After a day's work, nerves in various parts of the body are tense and too tired. If they are not properly adjusted, it is easy to cause peripheral neuritis, which will cause pain in the instep and cause serious discomfort in the foot.

4. The shoes do not fit well and the heels are too high.

This is because the shoes cause squeezing, friction and pressure on the toes and insteps, which not only affects the movement and activity of the toes, but also causes discomfort and pain on the insteps.

5. Lumbar disc herniation causes compression of the sciatic nerves in the lower limbs

For people who sit for long periods of time, the long-term accumulation will cause compression of the nerves in the lower limbs. At this time, if you can use Chinese medicine to soak your feet, or apply hot compresses, as well as physical therapy, acupuncture and other treatment options, perhaps the pain in the feet can be alleviated!

How to care for your feet

Pay attention to daily care of the instep. The treatment of instep pain is very important, but daily care cannot be ignored. Once instep pain occurs, pay attention to rest and avoid excessive activities. Also pay attention to the choice of shoes. Avoid shoes that are too small and inappropriate. Pay more attention to protecting your feet.

1. Check your feet every time you take a shower. Check for corns, toenails that have grown into the flesh, or calluses. If you have calloused skin, you can treat it yourself or go to a specialized pedicure shop for maintenance.

2. Cut your toenails once a week. Cut the nails into a square and flat shape to prevent the nails from growing into the flesh. Pick out the dirt hidden under the toenails and use the tip of a wooden stick wrapped in cotton and dipped in cuticle remover to wipe both sides of the toenails clean.

3. Take the body lotion or moisturizer and lubricate the skin of your feet. Apply it to every part, but do not let the lotion or cream accumulate between the toes. If your toes are particularly hairy, you can use neutral hydrogen peroxide to lighten the color of the hair. You can do a skin test on the inside of your arm first, or use wax or an electric hair remover to remove the hair.
