You followed the instructions. You did physical therapy. You wore the boot. Yet, months after your foot or ankle surgery, you’re still reaching for the ice pack or the pain meds.

When you visit your surgeon, they look at the X-ray and say:
"The hardware looks perfect, and the bone has fused beautifully."

While that may be true, it doesn't explain the burning, the "electric shocks," or the hypersensitivity you feel every time you take a step. At Atlantic Foot & Ankle Specialists, we find that in many cases, the surgery didn't "fail"; rather, the nerves haven't recovered. Read our latest blog to learn how we identify and fix that problem: https://tinyurl.com/58ccxx85

If you stand at a desk or work on your feet all day, gravity pulls fluid down, leaving your legs feeling heavy by 5 PM.

Propping your feet on a footstool doesn't do much. You have to get your feet above your heart. Lying on the floor with your legs straight up against the wall for 10 minutes uses gravity to rapidly drain the fluid back into your system!

For National Foot Health Awareness Month, we are busting a major myth: "Walking barefoot is natural!"

Sure...if you are walking on soft grass or sand! But the human foot was absolutely not designed to walk 10,000 steps a day on rigid, hardwood or tile floors.

Going barefoot indoors forces your fat pads to flatten and your plantar fascia to stretch to the breaking point. Wear a supportive house shoe instead!
