Here are some simple tips to help keep your feet healthy.
- Change your socks daily and wear
dry and clean socks.
- Wash your feet with soap and
warm water and remember to dry
thoroughly between the toes.
- Use lotion or cream on your feet
regularly to prevent cracks and
dry skin and remember to avoid
applying between the toes.
- Keep the skin between the toes
dry as excessive moisture can
cause athlete’s foot and infection
- Cut your toenails straight across
and file any sharp nail edges.
- Check your feet regularly and
seek medical attention for painful
corns, calluses or warts.

Painful Flatfeet

Do you experience chronic pain with standing and walking?
A pair of healthy feet should be able to walk comfortably without pain.
Flat feet occur when a pair of feet have an abnormally low medial longitudinal arch.
Having a low arch creates greater stress on the surrounding joints and soft tissue in the feet leading to painful arches and instability. Often people with flat feet experience arch or ankle pain after extended physical activity. For those that have aching flat feet, treatment can help provide pain relief and long-term support. Treatment may consist of stretching and strengthening exercises, proper footwear and custom made orthotics.

Winter is a skin killer! The heat is constantly cranked on high in our homes and the outside air is harsh and cold, resulting in dry skin. Dry skin on our feet can become itchy and crack under the stress of daily activity, which leads to pain and risk of infection, so we recommend using cream or lotion regularly to help moisturize your skin. Look for a cream that features “urea,” an emollient that helps your skin retain moisture and stay hydrated, which can be found in over-the-counter creams like Flexitol Heel Balm and Dermal Therapy. For more information about Urea and Its Benefits to Our Skin read here: http://mccowanfootclinic.ca/urea-benefits-skin/
