Understanding and Alleviating Summer Foot Pain: A Podiatrist’s Guide

As summer rolls in, many of us look forward to outdoor activities, from beach trips to hiking adventures. However, these activities can sometimes lead to foot pain, hampering your enjoyment. As Podiatrists, we often see patients suffering from various foot conditions during this season, primarily due to increased activity levels and improper footwear.

The most common culprits of summer foot pain include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and blisters resulting from new sandals or inadequate support. The heat and humidity can exacerbate foot problems, making it essential to pay attention to your foot health.

Choosing the right footwear is paramount. Opt for shoes that provide proper arch support and stability to reduce strain during long walks or runs.  We offer both custom orthotics and well respected prefabricated orthotics for every need and budget to help improve the amount of support your shoes provide.  Give us a call to be taken care of today!
