So what are the ways for patients to prevent burning sensation on the bottom of their feet?

I often see some patients come to the physical therapy room with a limp and tell the physical therapist that they are afraid to step on the ground because of pain on the bottom of their feet, especially in the morning when they wake up and step on the ground with their heels, sometimes it hurts like pins and needles. Symptoms similar to the above may be caused by burning sensation on the bottom of the foot. So what are the ways to prevent plantar burning in patients? The following is a brief introduction: prolonged standing or walking is the culprit, such as teachers and nursing staff; heel bone spurs cause constant friction and inflammation at the junction of the heel bone and plantar fascia; the fascia itself becomes less flexible, such as old age; the arch of the foot is too large (high arch) or too small (flat foot); overweight, often wear hard-soled shoes …… and other factors, resulting in an overload on the foot. Causes the foot to be overburdened, especially the plantar fascia is often subject to excessive or abnormal stimulation, resulting in the phenomenon of inflammation of the fascia. So the most fundamental prevention method is to avoid standing or walking for a long time. Elevate the feet and swing the footplate to promote circulation. If you are one of the high-risk groups mentioned above, you can * train your feet and calf muscles to be soft and muscle endurance exercises; choose a pair of soft-soled shoes with shock-absorbing effect and arch; develop good working habits, such as standing or walking for a period of time should take a short break and elevate your feet as much as possible, swinging your feet up and down, which can let the plantar fascia get sufficient rest, and increase blood circulation in the lower limbs to avoid varicose veins. This can increase blood circulation in the lower limbs to avoid varicose veins. This will effectively prevent the occurrence of plantar fasciitis.
