Simple Ways to Improve and Maintain Foot Health

At Advanced Foot & Ankle Solutions we want to help our patients to be proactive in the health of their feet. Many foot and ankle conditions can be avoided or at least relieved by practicing good foot care. Keeping feet healthy and at their best is essential to overall health. Below are some tips to protect and improve the health of your feet and ankles and reduce the risk of pain.

Replace worn out Shoes - Buy new shoes

We’re not suggesting you replace your entire footwear wardrobe, but it is a good idea to inspect your shoes periodically. Look for hole signs of wear, worn soles, loose stitching, and , stretched-out heal counters.

Keeping shoes beyond their natural lifespan increases the risk of foot and ankle injury and developing foot issues. When buying new shoes, choose ones that are well-make (preferably of a flexible material) and supportive. Get your feet professionally measured and ensure shoes fit correctly for maximum health benefits.

Find Your Balance

Did you know that one out of three people over 65 have a balance problem? Tai chi and certain types of yoga can be beneficial in improving your body’s balance mechanisms. It dramatically increases the risk of a fall. You can also work on balance throughout your day while doing simple tasks like brushing your teeth or cooking by practicing standing on one leg for 10 to 20 seconds at a time.

Many common foot problems are progressive, meaning they will worsen over time. Many conservative treatments are available for foot or ankle disorders, but they are most effective when utilized in the early stages of a condition.
