Teeny tiny orthotics for teeny tiny feet! Foot pain in the spring is common in children. As they become more active, their growing bodies are adjusting to increased activity and sometimes need a little extra support.

One of the most common New Year’s resolution’s, is to improve our health in one way or another. If you are starting an exercise program, be sure to start off on the right foot! Your shoes need to be supportive and fit properly. A Brannock device is the best way to measure for proper fit. In the past, the device was used regularly when shopping for shoes, but isn’t seen as often today. In fact, many young adults have never been sized suing a Brannock device. We find that many people arent wearing the correct size shoes, as our feet change in size as we age and with health events, such as pregnancy. The type of shoe needed should fit the activity in which you are participating. If you’re having problems with finding a good shoe or finding the correct size, come see us! 830-496-3702

It’s that time of year! This person is suffering from a gout attack. We see more gout attacks during the holidays for several reasons. 1. We tend to eat more red meats, pork, turkey, organ meat and shellfish. These are loaded with purines, which will often trigger a gout attack in someone that is unable to metabolize purines properly. 2. Many people will drink more alcohol than usual. This will raise levels of uric acid, which leads to more gout attacks. 3. Many people will become dehydrated from drinking alcohol or just drinking too many sodas and not drinking enough water. Dehydration will concentrate uric acid, again leading to a gout attack. Other factors: eating too much sugar will elevate uric acid levels and stress increases the incidence of attacks. So, drink plenty of water and don’t overindulge in purine-rich foods, sweet treats or alcohol!!
