Memorial Day is right around the corner, which means it is officially time to pull your favorite sandals out of the back of the closet. But if you spent the winter ignoring a thick, yellow, or crumbling toenail, the transition to summer footwear can cause instant panic.

When patients want clear nails quickly for a beach trip or a summer wedding, they often resort to desperate measures. They turn to the internet for quick fixes or head to the salon to hide the problem. Unfortunately, these common coping mechanisms do not just fail; they actively accelerate the infection.

At Atlantic Foot & Ankle Specialists, we see the aftermath of these failed summer cover-ups every single day. Here are the reasons why the most popular at-home strategies are making your foot health worse, and what you actually need to do to step out with confidence: https://tinyurl.com/bdf25e5c

It's Arthritis Awareness Month, and you might be wondering...
"Can my aching ankle actually predict rain?"
It's not an old wives' tale! When a spring storm rolls in, the barometric pressure in the atmosphere drops.

This drop allows the inflamed tissues and fluids inside your arthritic joints to physically expand, causing painful pressure from the inside out.
Do some gentle ankle mobility circles to keep the fluid moving until the storm passes, and if you need tips to help you stay active, stop by for a quick consult:

Fact: Your feet do not stop changing size at age 18. As you get older, your ligaments relax, causing your arches to drop.
This makes your foot physically longer and wider!
If you are still squeezing into the exact same shoe size you wore in college, you are actively giving yourself bunions and hammertoes.

If you've got fungal nail issues, but you want to wear open-toed shoes at the beach this summer... Then sandal season starts NOW.

Why? Because these infections take a long time to fix. Part of that comes down to the thickness of the nailbed where the infection hides. Part of it comes down to how slow toenails grow. But both obstacles can be overcome the same way: non-invasively, painlessly, and without a high risk of recurrence.

We're talking about Laser Therapy, of course. 10 minutes. No side effects. No recovery time. Just results.

You followed the instructions. You did physical therapy. You wore the boot. Yet, months after your foot or ankle surgery, you’re still reaching for the ice pack or the pain meds.

When you visit your surgeon, they look at the X-ray and say:
"The hardware looks perfect, and the bone has fused beautifully."

While that may be true, it doesn't explain the burning, the "electric shocks," or the hypersensitivity you feel every time you take a step. At Atlantic Foot & Ankle Specialists, we find that in many cases, the surgery didn't "fail"; rather, the nerves haven't recovered. Read our latest blog to learn how we identify and fix that problem: https://tinyurl.com/58ccxx85

If you stand at a desk or work on your feet all day, gravity pulls fluid down, leaving your legs feeling heavy by 5 PM.

Propping your feet on a footstool doesn't do much. You have to get your feet above your heart. Lying on the floor with your legs straight up against the wall for 10 minutes uses gravity to rapidly drain the fluid back into your system!
