Did you know your everyday shoes could be contributing to foot pain, bunions, or even back problems? It's more common than you'd think. Many of us wear shoes that are too narrow, too flat, or simply too worn out to provide the support our feet actually need. Over time, this can lead to conditions like neuromas, bunions, and joint stress that travels all the way up the body. When you're shopping for shoes, look for a wide toe box that lets your toes spread naturally, solid arch support, and soles with real cushioning that still have some life in them. And if off-the-shelf shoes just aren't cutting it, custom orthotics can be a game changer. Bring it up at your next appointment and we'll help you find the right fit for your feet. 💙

Heel pain after a long day is one thing. But if your pain is stopping you from enjoying your morning walk, getting out of bed comfortably, or keeping up with daily life, it may be time to get it checked out.

Plantar fasciitis and stress fractures are two of the most common causes of persistent heel pain, and both respond much better to treatment when caught early. Signs to watch for include morning stiffness that takes more than a few minutes to ease, localized swelling near the heel bone, or pain that lingers for more than a couple of weeks despite rest.

• Protective padding
• Proper footwear
• Orthotics
• Exercises
• Night splints

If these steps aren't enough to relieve your pain, it may be time to explore additional treatment options. The team at Cherrywood Foot Care is here to help.

Chronic foot and heel pain can make even simple daily activities feel like a challenge. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. It is commonly used for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendon pain when other treatments haven’t provided relief. This therapy helps improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural recovery process. At Cherrywood Foot Care, we offer this effective option to help you get back on your feet comfortably and confidently.

Love a good pedicure? So do we — but safety always comes first.

When you go in for your next appointment, make sure the salon is clean and reputable, that the tools are properly sterilized, and that you avoid shaving your legs right beforehand. It’s also best to leave your cuticles alone, since they help protect your nails from infection.

If you notice any redness, pain, or irritation after your visit, don't ignore it-give us a call!

A hammertoe is a toe deformity in which the middle joint bends abnormally, causing the toe—most often the second—to take on a curled, hammer-like appearance. It typically develops due to muscle and tendon imbalances, tight or ill-fitting footwear, or underlying structural foot conditions. Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, corns or calluses, and discomfort when wearing shoes.

Treatment depends on whether the toe is still flexible or has become rigid:

• Conservative treatment: Wearing roomier, supportive footwear; using custom orthotics; applying protective padding; and performing targeted stretching and strengthening exercises to relieve pressure and improve alignment.
• Medical management: Trimming painful corns or calluses and using splints or taping techniques to help reposition the toe.
• Surgical correction: Recommended for severe, rigid, or persistently painful hammertoes to straighten the toe and restore proper function.

Early treatment can reduce pain, improve mobility, and help prevent the condition from worsening. Call today for more info!

Warmer weather means more time in sneakers, flats, and damp environments — creating the perfect conditions for toenail fungus to develop. Proper nail care and early treatment can help prevent infection from spreading or worsening.

Here are simple steps to protect your nails this season:

• Keep feet clean and dry
• Change socks daily
• Wear breathable footwear
• Avoid walking barefoot in public areas
• Don't ignore thickened, discolored, or brittle nails

If you notice changes in your toenails, contact Cherrywood Foot Care today!
