🌧️👣Winter is here and at Feet First Podiatry, we‘re noticing a rise in ingrown toenails! The colder months often Mean closed-toe footwear and thicker socks, which can create extra pressure on your toes. This discomfort can lead to painful ingrown toenails if not addressed.

Here are some tips to keep your feet happy this winter.😊👣

👣1. Choose the right footwear: Opt for shoes or boots with a wider toe box. This gives your toes the wiggle room they need to stay comfortable.

👣2. Size Up: if you love wearing thick socks, consider going up a size or even a size and a half in your footwear. A little extra space can make a big difference!

👣3. Listen To Your Body: if you experience any pain or discomfort, don’t wait!! Call us at Feet First Podiatry before it escalates into something more serious, like an infection.

Your foot health is our priority! Let’s keep those toes cosy and healthy this winter.❄️💙

👣 Welcome to Feet First Podiatry! Today, let's tackle a common toe tribulation that tends to toe-tally disrupt our daily comfort: Ingrown Toenails. 🦶

Ingrown toenails might seem like a small issue, but they can cause significant pain and discomfort, especially among our vibrant young population who are often the most affected. Why young people, you ask? Well, it's a combination of active lifestyles, sports, tight footwear, and sometimes a genetic predisposition that causes the nail to grow into the surrounding skin.

🚶‍♂️Causes of Ingrown Toenails:
- Improper nail trimming: Cutting your nails too short or not straight across can encourage them to grow into the skin.
- Tight shoes: Footwear that crowds the toes can push the nail into the surrounding tissue.
- Injury: Stubbing your toe or other traumas can lead to abnormal nail growth.
- Sweaty feet: Excessive sweat can soften the skin around the nails, making it easier for the nail to pierce through.
- Nail structure: Naturally curved or thick nails may be more prone to becoming ingrown.

🩹 Treatment Options:
1. Conservative Care: This includes trimming small spicules of the nail from the sides.

2. Nail Bracing: A non-invasive technique where a special brace is applied to the nail to gently straighten it over time, alleviating the pressure on the skin.

3. Nail Surgery: For persistent or severe cases, we offer a permanent solution through nail surgery. This minor procedure involves removing a portion of the nail and applying a chemical to the nail matrix to prevent the ingrown part from coming back.

Don't let ingrown toenails keep you off your toes! At Feet First Podiatry, we're here to ensure your feet are happy and healthy. Remember, early intervention is key to preventing complications. If you're struggling with an ingrown toenail, step into our clinic and step out with relief. 🚶‍♀️

Did you know diabetes affects blood vessels and nerves in the feet? 👣

Patients with diabetes are at greater risk of arterial disease than the general population, this is because raised blood sugar levels over a long period can cause damage to blood vessels in your feet which can lead to reduced blood flow and impaired healing to injury or infection.

All patients with diabetes should have their vascular status assessed regularly depending on their risk category.

From the moment patients enter my clinic, I’m already assessing by watching the way they walk into the room and sit on a chair. I inspect your footwear, hosiery and examine the integrity of your skin for hair growth, colour, texture, temperature, and swelling. Using my fingers I feel for two pulses (Dorsalis Pedis and Posterior Tibialis) on your feet. Then, I’ll use a Doppler ultrasound device to listen to the sounds of the pulses to establish if they are triphasic, biphasic, or monophasic.

Diabetic patients are at an increased risk of diabetic neuropathy which is damage to the nerves on their feet. There are three types of nerve damage that can occur as a complication of poorly controlled diabetes - Motor Neuropathy - which affects foot posture leading to high-pressure areas, Autonomic Neuropathy – which affects sweat and sebaceous glands leading to dry cracked skin and Sensory Neuropathy - which leads to loss of sensation.

For diabetes foot care, please get in touch by calling 028 300 54444, book online www.feetfirstnewry.com

Are you struggling with stubborn verrucae that just won't budge? It's time to step into the future of podiatric care with Swift Microwave Therapy! ⚡️

For too long, many have turned to over-the-counter treatments like salicylic acid and freezing methods, only to be met with disappointment. These traditional remedies have less than a 30% success rate, often leading to a frustrating cycle of ineffective treatment. But why waste precious time when there's a revolutionary solution at your feet?

Verrucae, those pesky skin lesions, are caused by the highly contagious Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which invades the skin through tiny cuts or scrapes. While it's true that many verrucae will eventually clear up on their own, this isn’t always the case. For those dealing with painful or persistent verrucae, waiting for them to disappear is not a viable option.

Enter Swift Microwave Therapy: a cutting-edge technology that targets verrucae at their core. Swift uses controlled microwaves to stimulate a natural immune response in the body, effectively treating the verruca without the need for dressings or anesthetics. The treatment is quick, clean, and incredibly efficient.

At Feet First Podiatry, we're dedicated to providing our patients with the best care possible. That's why we're proud to offer Swift Microwave Therapy as a game changer for those suffering from recalcitrant verrucae. With Swift, you can say goodbye to ineffective treatments and hello to clear, healthy skin.

Don't let verrucae hold you back any longer. Take the first step with Feet First Podiatry and experience the swift difference today! Your feet will thank you. 👟✨
