Children can have foot and ankle problems, too. Common issues are ingrown toenails, hammertoes, bunions, and blisters. Poorly fitting shoes can be the cause. Shoes for children should allow space for breathing and be flexible. When trying on shoes, there should be about a ½ inch space between the front of the shoe and the child’s toes.

Toenail fungus is not a cocktail party topic. But it does need to be discussed. It is an infection underneath the surface of the nail caused by fungi. If ignored, the infection can spread and can even result in difficulty walking. Properly cleaning the area and using over-the-counter antifungal agents can help with mild symptoms. If discoloration, thickening, or deformity of the toenails is present, then it is time to visit a podiatrist. Read more about treating and preventing toenail infections: https://bit.ly/3htlH8P

Slipping and falling during the winter is common, but for those who already have foot and ankle injuries, the risk of falling is even greater. Avoid falling and further injuries with these safety tips:
• Wear shoes that provide traction on snow or ice like rubber and neoprene composite. Avoid leather soles and, of course, heels.
• Keep skid-resistant door mats at home entrances to dry shoes off.
• If a walkway is icy, try to move along the grassy edge for traction.
