Foot pain
Foot pain, as a specific form of joint pain, can occur for various reasons and restrict mobility in everyday life. For example, osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease of the joint cartilage, plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tendon plate on the sole of the foot, hallux valgus, a misalignment of the big toe, heel spur, a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel bone, and achillodynia, an inflammation or irritation of the Achilles tendon, can lead to pain and discomfort in the foot. Factors such as body weight, individual posture and general physical fitness also often play a role in the occurrence and intensity of pain. As with all joint pain, the symptoms should be clarified by a Calopad therapist in the event of prolonged or repeated occurrence or restricted movement.
How Calopad helps with foot pain
The Calopad can promote blood circulation in the affected joint area through the application of heat, which results in increased blood flow and thus brings more oxygen and nutrients to the treated areas. This not only improves the removal of waste products, but also helps to relax the surrounding muscles. In addition, deep heat stimulates the skin's thermoreceptors, which can influence the sensation of pain by sending fewer pain signals to the brain.
However, in order not only to alleviate symptoms but also to tackle the causes, the Calopad Care Abo combines passive heat treatment with active therapies, such as muscle building, to ensure comprehensive treatment.
