It's the first day of Spring!! If you laid off running all winter and are about to get back into your routine, don't push too hard in your first 2 weeks. It will take at least a few runs at a pace below your fall maximum to get your joints and muscles back in condition.

We see a significant increase in sprains among weekend athletes at this time of year. Ankle sprains are not to be taken lightly, because if left untreated, they’ll weaken your ankle, making it more likely that you’ll injure it again. Repeated sprains lead to , long term pain, and weakness in the ankle joint.

So ease back into your routine. And if you do injure your ankle, see us right away for an assessment and treatment plan.

Varicose veins can be unsightly, but they can also cause pain and discomfort.

Most women are familiar with varicose veins, because they're so common during and after pregnancy. Weight gain puts pressure on the veins in the lower body, causing them to weaken and lose their elasticity. This causes blood to pool in the veins, causing them to enlarge and push closer to the skin. Other factors can cause varicose veins too, like genetics, obesity, standing for long periods on a daily basis, aging, and circulatory disorders.

For many people, varicose veins don't cause any real health problems. But if they begin to ache, itch, burn, throb, darken, are tender, or bleed, you should see us for an appointment immediately. Depending on your condition, you may find relief with at-home treatments or you may need a medical procedure.

PA Foot & Ankle associates specialize in varicose veins treatment in the Allentown, PA 18104 and 18102, Easton, PA 18042 and Northampton, PA 18067 areas.
