“Botox can be used to treat a variety of conditions in the feet and lower extremities such as overactive sweating of the feet or tight muscle and tendon contracture of the calves, which can arise from wearing high heels or from other acquired conditions,” Albert D'Angelantonio, DPM, chief of Podiatry/Foot and Ankle Surgery in Plastic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, told Penn Medicine News.
