  • Simple Steps to Protect Your Feet From Injury, Dr. Gary Evans
    October, 2010
    With the spring and summer seasons blissfully approaching, the idea of strolling barefoot might be a tempting notion. While the sunshine and crisp air may lure us to remove our shoes, taking a few simple steps can prevent cuts, puncture wounds, or other injuries to your bare feet as you enjoy the warmer seasons. The simplest precautionary step is to wear comfortable, breathable shoes to protect your feet from injury. If the warm weather just would not be the same without kicking off your shoes or sandals, make sure to see a foot and ankle surgeon within 24 hours of obtaining any puncture wound. As this type of injury can push in harmful, unsterile foreign objects deep inside the foot, it may present complications like tissue and bone infections or damage to tendons and muscles. To avoid these problems, proper monitoring of the healing process is essential. If health concerns do arise, a podiatrist is trained to properly care for any foot, ankle, or lower leg injury. Another important step to take is making sure you receive vaccination against tetanus. A booster shot is recommended every 10 years for teens and adults. If walking in the sun barefoot, applying sunscreen to the tops and bottoms of feet will prevent sunburn, in turn preventing rare but deadly skin cancers from developing. For parents of young children, make sure to inspect their feet routinely for skin problems, including calluses, warts, ingrown toenails, or suspicious freckles, moles, and spots. If unwanted conditions are detected earlier, a foot and ankle surgeon can treat it effectively and easily. If walking around beaches, pools, or locker rooms, individuals should use their better judgment and wear flip-flops or sandals. This will help to avoid cuts that allow bacteria and viruses (athlete’s foot, plantar warts, etc.) from entering the blood stream. The most vital tip for the approaching sunny seasons is to use common sense. Every year, people suffer from serious foot injuries that may have easily been prevented by using good judgment. So, be proactive about your foot health and enjoy the sunshine!
