12-hour shifts on concrete floors? No wonder so many nurses have a podiatrist on deck!

But they also need Compression Socks.
Why? Because leg swelling tends to set in around hour 8.
Are YOU a healthcare hero? Consider making compression socks a part of your uniform.

You twisted your ankle, shook it off, and kept walking. You think you're fine.
But are you? Ankle sprains aren't just "minor twists." They're ligament tears graded 1 through 3, and ignoring them can lead to long-term instability, early arthritis, or worse. Learn more: https://tinyurl.com/y3k3ay5a

Platforms are cute, but they come with a physics problem. 📐
A standard sneaker rolls a little when you trip. A 3-inch platform acts like a lever, forcing your ankle to snap over with much more force.
We see more severe ligament tears (Grade 3 Sprains) from platforms than heels.If you wear them, stick to flat ground. Avoid cobblestones or uneven ground!

"Sitting is the new smoking," but standing still all day turns off your "Calf Muscle Pump," causing blood to pool in your legs.
Watch out for swollen ankles (Edema), spider veins, and aching heels by 5 PM. To sidestep all that, consider:
⏱️ The 30/30 Rule: Sit for 30, Stand for 30.
🦶 Calf Pumps: Do heel raises while on Zoom calls.

Does Vicks cure toenail fungus? 🧴
NOPE!
It can temporarily darken the nail so it looks better, but it won't cure the fungus deep in the nailbed.
For a real cure, you need a real doctor (not "Dr. TikTok"...) :

Tired of wasting money on gel inserts and "arch supports" that just don't fix your foot pain?

Here's the truth: store-bought insoles just cushion a problem. Custom orthotics correct it. They are prescription medical devices, built from a precise 3D scan of your unique feet to fix your alignment and stop pain at the source.
