Stiletto Tarsal

Any woman that has ever worn high heels all day to work, or at night while out on the town, knows that high heels are not the most comfortable shoes made. Many people recognize that high heels can hurt a person’s knees or back. They do this by shifting the weight of the individual wearing the shoes. High heels actually misalign the entire leg, from the ankle up through the back. What people don’t necessarily realize is that high heels can damage the soft tissues of the foot as well.

When a person walks in a high heel, she puts excess pressure on the lower portion of the foot. With years of pressure and pounding on sidewalks, the nerves and other bits of soft tissue are actually damaged. Once the damage starts, it can become extremely painful to the person wearing the shoes.

While some women decide that this is a sign to stop wearing heels, others ignore the pain and inflict further damage to their feet. This causes immense pain due to stiletto tarsal.

Fortunately, doctors have determined that Botox, the anti-wrinkle injection, can actually help people with foot problems. The same chemical that allows the drug to dull nerve sensations and reduce wrinkles numbs the nerves in the bottom of the foot. While this does not fix the problem, it does allow the pain to be reduced.
