Keeping Your Feet Strong, Healthy, and Pain-Free
Your feet and ankles are a complex network of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and nerves. Every step you take depends on their coordination and strength. Foot pain or changes in your feet can also signal other health concerns, such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, or circulation issues. That’s why good foot and ankle care is essential to your overall well-being.
We emphasize preventive care and early detection to keep you moving comfortably. Regular exams, proper footwear, and healthy daily habits all play a key role in protecting your feet, improving circulation, reducing injury, and maintaining long-term strength.
Tips for Healthy Feet
- Skin & Nail Care: Wash feet daily with mild soap and lukewarm water, dry thoroughly (especially between toes), and trim toenails straight across. Avoid excess moisture by rotating shoes, using powders or antiperspirants, and wearing breathable materials.
- Footwear Choices: Always choose supportive shoes that match your foot type. Look for a firm heel counter, adequate cushioning, and a wide toe box. Replace worn-out shoes regularly—about every 600 miles or once a year.
- Protection & Prevention: Avoid walking barefoot to prevent injuries or infections. Use shoe inserts or orthotics if recommended. Moisturize dry skin but avoid applying lotion between toes to reduce fungal risk.
- Musculoskeletal Health: Support your joints by wearing the right shoes during weight-bearing activity. Exercise and stretching can improve strength, flexibility, and balance. A podiatrist can evaluate your foot type and recommend custom care or orthotics if needed.
When to See a Specialist
If you experience persistent foot pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, or skin and nail changes, it’s important to schedule an appointment. Early intervention can prevent more serious complications and help restore comfort and mobility.
