What Causes Painless Muscle Twitching In Foot?

I have a painless muscle twitching in the heal of my right foot. It has been occurring off and on (maybe the past month or so?). I exercise regularly. Drink water (rarely any soda; no coffee) Level of stress on the job has increased dramatically. Should I be concerned?

hi

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

as you have no pain and other symptoms except twitching of the muscles in the foot, it could be related to muscle weakness in the foot region. Performing exercises for the foot muscles should regain the strength and avoid twitching later on.

The twitching occurs due to imbalance in the muscular system and with simple exercises it can be balanced. Exercises includes are - picking the marbles from floor, picking small bits of paper and walking bare feet on grass.

This will provide stimulation to the muscles of the feet and make a Neuromuscular correction in the imbalance in the muscles.
