BV Foot Clinic: Have a Seamless Holiday Season!



Have a Seamless Holiday Season!

Christmas shopping is going to put a lot of pressure on your feet; so just make sure they’ll be able to stand (and walk!) it. Of course, this doesn’t mean simply wearing sensible shoes, but the right socks as well. Besides being thick, soft, and absorbent, for maximum comfort, they should also be seamless, because seams rubbing against toes can produce corns, calluses, blisters, and sores. Indeed, seamless socks can prevent a lot of misery; and they’re available in a wider variety of styles, colors, and patterns than ever. 

So take care of your feet; and call us at the first sign of trouble. Better yet, help keep problems at bay, by letting us devise a personal foot care program just for you. It’s the best way to ensure a seamless holiday season!

BV Foot Clinic: Winter Can Be the Kicker for Diabetics



                                                                               Winter Can Be the Kicker for Diabetics

While diabetics must always worry about keeping their feet healthy, winter is the kicker, as the cold weather can cause dry, cracked skin, which can trigger infections. If you have diabetes, dry your feet thoroughly after washing them, and check every day, for blisters, sores, or other problems; and wear thickly-padded footwear to keep your feet warm and dry, along with soft, thick, absorbent socks. Better yet, stay a step ahead of winter foot problems, and let us give you an exam, and a customized foot care program.
