A few words from Kristin Kirby -

Kirby “Footnotes:”

A simple clinic follow up visit this week—with an important reminder.

A patient came in recently with forefoot numbness that raised concern for neuritis.
No trauma. No systemic red flags like diabetes/neuropathy nor any lumbar pathology.

The cause?
➡️ Tight shoe lacing + improper arch height, creating focal pressure.

What stood out most:
After removing the shoes and a brief break, symptoms improved quickly.

The solution didn’t require imaging, injections, or medication—just:
• New shoes with appropriate fit
• Box lacing technique to offload pressure
• Correct sizing and arch support height

It’s a good reminder that many nerve symptoms aren’t just medical—they’re mechanical.

Small footwear adjustments can make a meaningful difference when addressed early.
