Introduction
Nothing is worse than being injured or feeling pain. Whether it is plantar fasciitis, bunions, or general soreness, our goal at Fleet Feet Puget Sound is to get (and keep) you moving, comfortable, and active. Our staff has been extensively trained on our gear and equipment, and we can help you use it to prevent and treat injuries*. While we are not medical professionals and cannot diagnose injuries, we provide tools and resources to help you find relief and recovery.
Common Injuries We Address
We understand the common issues that can arise from improper footwear and overuse. Here are some common injuries and ways that products at Fleet Feet PNW can help you move more comfortably:
- Plantar Fasciitis: Heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia.
- Shin Splints: Pain along the shin bone, often from overuse or improper shoes.
- Achilles Tendinitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, typically from overuse.
- Runner's Knee: Pain around the kneecap, often related to biomechanics or footwear.
- Neuropathy: Nerve damage that can cause numbness, tingling, and pain in the feet. Proper footwear and supportive insoles can help alleviate discomfort.
- Bunions: Bony bumps that form on the joint at the base of your big toe. Shoes with a wide toe box can provide relief.
- Iliotibial Band Syndrome: Pain on the outer part of the knee, often caused by inflammation of the iliotibial band due to overuse or improper biomechanics.
- Neuroma: A painful condition, often affecting the ball of the foot, caused by a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to the toes. Proper footwear and metatarsal pads can help alleviate discomfort.
