3 Things You're Doing That Cause Foot Pain.
(http://ow.ly/eV9f50gBOOr)

Here are three common things people do that cause them to have foot pain; wearing worn out sneakers. This can wreck havoc on your feet as shoes with worn out soles can alter your body mechanics causing you to compensate and lead to conditions like plantar fasciitis. A second thing people commonly do that hurt their feet is avoid wearing orthotics because they don't like the way those shoes look or just don't go through the effort of putting them in their shoes. Finally, women who wear high heels frequently will often cause damage to their feet due to the way it squishes their toes which creates bunions.

Home remedies include stretching, doing an ice massage with a frozen water bottle, wearing night splints and using shoe inserts. If home remedies are unsuccessful in alleviating pain, you should speak with your doctor for alternative treatment options.

What to Do About Bunions.
(http://ow.ly/bJDv50gBOO1)

If you have bunions the first thing you should do is take a look at your shoes, since wearing the wrong shoes is often the biggest reason bunions develop. All of your shoes should have a wide and flexible sole. Shoes should also have enough room in the toe box for the bunion, but keep your heel in place. Those who have bunions should try to avoid wearing shoes with a heel high than one inch. If you have painful bunions and the above suggestions are not helping, you can try to make your foot more comfortable in your shoes with bunion pads.
