A foot that “falls asleep” after sitting awkwardly is usually easy to explain. Numbness that keeps returning, lasts longer than expected, or begins without an obvious reason deserves more attention. It may be a sign of peripheral neuropathy, which develops when nerves carrying signals between the feet and the rest of the body become damaged.

My Chicago Foot Expert explains when persistent foot numbness may point to neuropathy: https://tinyurl.com/3hkm7t2u

When you are living with arthritis in your feet or ankles, the simple act of walking to the kitchen can sometimes feel like a monumental task. If daily movement causes discomfort, the idea of adding a dedicated exercise routine to your schedule might sound completely counterintuitive.

However, avoiding activity is one of the worst things you can do for arthritic joints. A sedentary lifestyle allows joints to stiffen and causes the supporting muscles to weaken, ultimately leading to more pain. At My Chicago Foot Expert, we know that "motion is lotion". Keep reading to learn how you can adapt your routine to stay active, protect your joints, and manage arthritis pain effectively: https://tinyurl.com/4kwey2uu

You kicked the coffee table, and now your toe is throbbing. Is it broken or just "stubbed," and how can you tell the difference?
Take a look at where it's pointing. Then ask yourself:
Does it seem like an unnatural direction?

Has pain kept you awake at night after twenty-four hours?

Has the nail turned completely black ?

These are all signs a professional should take a look. If they seem familiar, just get in touch. A diagnosis is much faster than you'd think: https://mychicagofootexpert.com/contactus/

An ingrown toenail may seem better after the tenderness fades, only to return a few weeks or months later. When this happens, the underlying cause often has not changed.

Chicago podiatrist Stavros Alexopoulos, DPM, of My Chicago Foot Expert, identifies why an ingrown toenail keeps coming back and recommends treatment that addresses more than the immediate discomfort: https://tinyurl.com/ytc9c97e

Getting a summer pedicure? Look for one massive red flag:
If the technician pulls their tools out of a drawer instead of a sealed, sterilized pouch, WALK AWAY!
