PROTECTING YOUR FEET AS COLD WEATHER APPROACHES

As colder weather approaches, protecting your feet is important and should not be ignored. It does not take freezing temperatures to cause cold injury to your feet. Mild brief exposure to the cold temperatures can cause foot related problems. Overexposure to cool, damp conditions can cause foot symptoms as well.
Several factors contribute to increased risk for cold-related injuries which include:
·         Inadequate protective gear: not wearing appropriate shoe gear.
·         Smoking: nicotine affects constriction of blood vessels which alter flow to your feet.
·         Alcohol use: one of the most common factors to cold injuries as alcohol dilates blood vessels which increase heat loss in the body. Also, if alcohol is consumed chronically it can cause decreased feeling in your feet.
·         Excess sweating: moisture increases heat loss.
Tips to protecting your feet from cold related injury include:
·         Wearing warm clothing: Dress in layers of insulation. Start wearing base layer made from wool or synthetic materials which will wick away sweat and have better insulation. Add a second layer if needed to remain warm to your feet.
·         Change socks when feet get wet, sweating or exposed to water.
·         Wear good fitting shoes: Try shoes on with socks when going outdoors. Be certain sock thickness does not make shoes too tight
If you experience similar symptoms, you should contact a foot and ankle specialist in a timely manner at Community Foot Specialists. For more information on further treatment options and other foot and ankle injuries, call to schedule for a consultation today at (937) 426-9500.

Turf Toe: A Tough Injury to Overcome

With the fall weather comes football season – and unfortunately, with football season comes injury. Whether you find yourself at your local football field to cheer on your own football star, cheering on your high school team from the stands, watching the Buckeyes take the field on Saturdays or the Bengals or Browns on Sundays, chances are you’ll hear the expression “turf toe” at one time or another this season. The expression turf toe might lead one to believe that the injury is a minor ailment limited only to those wearing football helmets and jerseys; however, this is not the case.

ORTHOTICS: TIPS ON USAGE If you have orthotics or are considering in purchasing them, you may want to consider the following tips to ensure that you are getting the most for your money and doing the best thing for your feet: 1.       Keep in mind that orthotics are NOT just for wearing with one particular type of shoe – they can be worn with athletic shoes, dress shoes, work boots, snow shoes – pretty much all types of shoes that have a back to them and provide some support at the base of the shoe.   2.       When going shoe shopping, be sure to bring your orthotics with you and wear them when trying on new shoes. You want to be sure that the shoe will work with the orthotic while providing comfort and the right kind of support for your foot. 3.       You will want to have the same shoes or stockings that you plan to wear with the shoes you purchase so that you can see how they work with your orthotics and your shoes. Make sure they are comfortable and functional. 4.
