Foot Pain Can Be Linked To One’s Profession

Industrial Cumulative Stress is the pain one feels related directly to their job. Because of the effects of work-related repetitive stress on the hand, there has been a considerable amount of interest in the effect of work-stress on foot pain as well. There is very little evidence of a significant impact of work on various foot disorders. These include disorders such as tarsal tunnel syndrome, heel pain, hallux valgus, adult acquired flatfoot, neuroma, toe deformity, or foot and ankle osteoarthritis. For the most part, the human foot is designed for repetitive stress and there are very few jobs that pose the same stress on the feet as many do on the hands. Regardless, there are certain professions, such as police work, which may be associated with significant foot pain. Cosmetic foot surgery is capable of fixing many of these problems.
