Before you shrug off swelling, make sure you know the facts.

Swelling after travel or long days isn’t always harmless and shouldn’t always be ignored. While flying can contribute to fluid retention, swelling can also signal circulation issues, injury, inflammation, or underlying medical concerns.

If you notice swelling that is painful, persistent, or only happening on one side, it’s worth having a podiatrist take a closer look.

If swelling is becoming a pattern, contact us and we’ll help you find a trusted Illinois DPM who can provide clarity and care.

Holiday travel is hard on your feet, no matter how you’re getting there.

Long drives, flights, and busy airport days can increase swelling, strain, and foot fatigue. Simple habits can help keep discomfort in check during your trip:
🥿 Choose supportive shoes you can comfortably walk in
🏃 Move or stretch briefly every hour
💧 Keep circulation in mind if you’re sitting for long periods

A little foot care planning can make your holiday travel much more comfortable. Find a podiatrist who can help you stay comfortable and pain-free all season long.
