How to Relieve High Heel Foot Pain
Moving on to the foot pain that is caused by wearing high heels and learning to deal with the same, here are a few pointers that you can use.
» Start off by kneading the sole of the foot and then moving on to include the whole foot. This will help to get the circulation flowing.
» Soak the feet in hot water. For this, heat water to a degree that is bearable, add a few drops of essential oils or Epsom salts (which have medicinal properties) and then immerse the feet in. Let the feet soak in the water for at least 20 minutes. The hot water will open up the blood vessels and therefore more blood will rush in to the spot, thus bringing about relief.
» Use a tennis ball and place the soles of your feet over it. Then gently push the ball with your feet forward and backward. This action will massage the soles and the ball of your feet and lead to relief.

» Elevate your feet so that the blood is distributed evenly to the entire leg and foot. To do this, place 2-3 hard pillows on a flat surface and then lie down placing your feet on the pillow. This will put your feet at a higher height and relieve the pain.

» Carry forth certain simple exercises like curling and stretching the toes, by elongating them and then curling them in. This will open up the stressed muscles and relieve the pain.

» Massaging the feet with warm mustard oil is also known to work wonders in relieving the pain. Mustard oil is known to have medicinal properties that seeps into the layers of the skin and relieves the pain. The kneading action and the strong strokes with the hands help to relieve the pain and muscle stress. For best results, heat the oil in a microwave oven for 10-15 seconds and then apply the oil all over the feet before massaging them. Massage for at least 10 minutes.

Avoiding High Heel Foot Pain
So that this condition does not keep repeating itself and make a comeback over and over again, what are some of the points that have to be kept in mind? Here are some of the things that you should follow.

» Always buy a pair of heels that are the right size. Never too tight. A proper size allows enough circulation of blood and prevents all these health problems from cropping up.
» Buy shoes that are of good quality so that your feet can breathe better. Good shoes will accommodate the feet and not scrape against the same to lead to corns and bunions.
» As far as possible, avoid wearing shoes that are closed and confined. Preferably use shoes that are open and wide so that there is enough space for the feet and the balls of the feet are not pressured.
» Choose shoes that have a wider heel to them. This allows better balance and less stress and fatigue on the ball of the feet.
» Whenever you wear heels, make sure that you allow yourself frequent rest periods, wherein you sit down and take the shoes off. This will relieve the pressure. So also, the pain will not make way and will not cause any aggravation of symptoms.
