Foot injuries may be a common occurrence in active people, but don’t let that stop you from doing what you love. Let’s learn how you can reduce the likelihood of injury!
Pain in the feet can hit at any time. Whether it’s while scoring your next goal or carving it out on the slopes, we’ve got your feet covered with comfort in mind!
With 33 joints in the foot, one of them is bound to be bothersome at some point. Pain in the big toe joint can result from a number of conditions. Whether you are young or old, an athlete or sedentary, the big toe joint can become injured, arthritic, infected, jammed or stiff.
Living with diabetes means paying attention to the details, especially when it comes to foot health! One of the small but important details is wearing the correct socks, specifically a diabetes-friendly sock. You might wonder why socks matter so much, but for clients with diabetes, the right sock can help them prevent complications such as blisters, or fungal infections and helps support overall foot health.
An ingrown toenail can be painful! If left untreated, it can lead to significant pain which may force you to change the way you walk to protect your sore toe.
Foot pain can be debilitating! Where you go for help can mean the difference between living with foot pain (which can also include leg, hip, and back pain), and finding ongoing relief so you can maintain a healthy lifestyle.
When standing, the body is a closed kinetic chain, meaning what happens in the feet can affect the ankles, knees, hips and back. If the feet are abnormally positioned or their alignment is off, the rest of the body could suffer.
You probably recall the childhood song – “the foot bone’s connected to the ankle bone, the ankle bone’s connected to the leg bone…” While this may have been a broad simplification, there is great truth in this elementary school tune. The human body is like an integrated chain reaction.
