There are tons of fun and exciting sports to try your hand at during the winter, but unfortunately, lots of those sports can also come with serious injuries! Every year millions of people grab their poles and hit the slopes, lace up their skates and hit the ice, or try out some other new winter sporting activity. As fun as these activities can be year after year, they also come with the risk of foot and ankle injuries like ankle sprains, strains, and fractures.
You can prevent a lot of winter injuries by staying healthy, limber, warm, hydrated, and nourished during any sports you take part in. That said, accidents do occur! If you hurt your foot or ankle out on the slopes or the ice, call a podiatrist immediately.

This will help reduce your risk of getting diabetes, or if you already have diabetes, it will help keep your blood sugars in check.
If you have diabetes, it’s important to bring these questions to your primary care physician. Our board-certified podiatrist Dr. Adam Mucinskas can help too. What we do know is that numerous studies have shown time and time again that a balanced diet full of dark, leafy greens, nuts and seeds, lean protein, and healthy carbs is best for prevention and maintenance. Paying attention to how much you eat during the day is also very important.
It might seem odd for a podiatry office to spend so much time and energy discussing your diet. But, as we mentioned, optimal nutrition lowers your risk for diabetes and diabetes is directly linked to trouble in your feet. Diabetes comes with multiple foot issues that we often see in our patients, including:

The condition of flat feet is characterized by a disappearance of your arch when you put weight on your feet, and the return of the arch when you remove that weight. Flat feet often start in childhood and typically affect both feet. If left untreated, there are many severe complications that could arise as the child grows into adulthood.
Common Flat Feet Complications:
Flat Feet Treatment
Due to the wide range of severity and symptoms associated with flat feet, the condition must be thoroughly checked out by a podiatrist. For pain, NSAIDs can be taken under a doctor’s direction. Our office can also produce custom orthotics that will support your arches and realign your foot. Orthotics not only help to relieve pain, but also can correct issues with your knees, hips, and back. In severe cases of flat foot, surgery might be the best method to repair the foot. After surgery, the doctor might require physical therapy and immobilization with a boot.
If you’ve noticed flat feet in your child or if you’re having complications yourself, call our office today.
