News - Botox helps alleviate pain of high heels
Barely a week goes by without another ingenious use being found for Botox, and now medics have found another use to put a smile of the face of women who want to wear high heels without the pain.
The Press Association has reported a cinic in Merseyside has begun offering Botox injections to cure a new condition dubbed "stilettotarsal" - an pain in the soft tissue on the ball of the foot, or metatarsal region, caused by high heels.
But Botox is being administered to plump up the ball of the foot and provide vital cushioning to alleviate the pain and protect soft tissue and nerves.
"More and more women are coming into the clinic to ask for foot fillers because their feet are starting to hurt," Marie Jenkins from the Birkdale Clinic in Crosby, Merseyside told PA.
"This isn't the type of pain induced by a pair of new shoes but pain after years of teetering on high heels.
"The balls of the feet take a lot of pounding in high heels but some women refuse to give up them up.
"They are an integral part of a woman's outfit and so women put up with the pain. But now they see they can do something about it by opting to have the extra padding.
"The procedure won't make their feet look any better but it will certainly protect the nerves and the soft tissue and make walking in their heels much easier."
