Beaver Valley Foot Clinic: Don't Let Stress Fractures Ruin Your Summer!

Don’t Let Stress Fractures Ruin Your Summer
 
A stress fracture, like Achilles tendinitis, can be caused by sudden, intense exercise, especially on hard or uneven surfaces, or wearing inappropriate shoes.  However, it’s indicated by foot pain that arises at the start of a walk or run, eases somewhat, then intensifies toward the end. 
 
If you have these symptoms, call us.  Our advanced equipment can detect stress fractures that regular X-rays often miss.

Beaver Valley Foot Clinic Reminds you to Take a Firm Stand on Summer Foot Care!


Take a Firm Stand on Summer Foot Care  
 Summer can be hard on the feet, especially for diabetics, who must be extra-careful.  So, never go barefoot, because stepping on something and getting an injury could lead to serious complications.
 Always use sunscreen on your feet, too; and dry them thoroughly after swimming, particularly between your toes. 
 No matter how many other rules you relax this season, always stand firm on proper foot care!
