Our ankles and feet take on a lot throughout our lives. Over time, the weight they bare begins to show, and eventually, ankle and foot arthropathies and joint diseases such as arthritis can develop. These conditions can vary from person to person and symptoms will show themselves differently depending on the specific ankle and foot arthropathy you are suffering from.

Although, what is certain is that when ignored and untreated, ankle and foot arthropathies can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. So, let’s look at the causes, effects, and treatments for Ankle and Foot Arthropathies:

What are Ankle and Foot Arthropathies

What are Ankle and Foot Arthropathies?

Ankle and foot arthropathies are a global term used to refer to a group of joint disorders or diseases that primarily affect the ankle and foot. These conditions can cause mild to severe pain, inflammation, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the affected joints. The pain can develop in either one of both feet and ankles and can also be either acute or chronic. 

What Causes Ankle and Foot Arthropathies?

Ankle and foot arthropathies can have various causes, depending on the specific condition. Unlike most common foot conditions that come about from overuse of the muscles and tendons, many ankle and foot arthropathies can develop due to disease and infection.

Here are some of the believed causes of ankle and foot arthropathies:

  • Wear and tear of the muscles and joints
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Genetic factors
  • Bacterial or viral infections
  • Metabolic disorders
  • Trauma or injury

What are the advantages of wearing INFINIRI socks?

INFINIRI relief socks are specially designed to help treat, prevent and preserve your feet. When suffering from ankle and foot arthropathies, INFINIRI socks work hard to provide gentle compression all day, giving you independence and freedom from pain no matter where you are or what you’re doing.

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI socks:

  • Cushioning pads at the heel and forefoot of the sock have a supporting effect on the stretched arch of the foot
  • Supportive pads add gentle compression to the toes, soles and ankles of feet to help blood flow, reduce inflammation and prevent pain
  • Specially designed foot pads and soft forefoot cushion absorb pressure peaks
  • The thinned fatty tissue under the sole of the foot is replaced by the soft forefoot cushioning within the socks
  • The socks provide shock absorption to spread pressure around the feet and ankles
  • Supportive pads lift and cushion the metatarsal bones, enabling your foot into its natural, healthy position to help prevent pain when you perform physical activities, including intense exercise and daily tasks

Please note that although INFINIRI socks act as preventative and protective footwear, they are not a replacement for medical intervention. If you are experiencing severe pain and discomfort, you should always consult with a healthcare professional or seek medical attention.
