February is American Heart Month, which is actually very relevant to foot care! Poor circulation—often linked to heart health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and peripheral artery disease (PAD)—can lead to cold feet, numbness, slow-healing wounds, and even serious complications like ulcers or infections.
It’s also one of the coldest months, meaning dry, cracked heels and frostbite risks are higher, especially for those with diabetes or circulation problems.
Plus, winter footwear habits (wearing heavy boots, thick socks, and staying indoors more) can contribute to fungal infections, foot pain, and stiffness if not managed properly.
💙 February is the perfect time to check in on your foot health! If you're experiencing circulation issues, dryness, or pain, Dr. Steve Block and the team at Bluegrass Foot Centers are here to help. Schedule an appointment today! 🦶
