Four Common (Yet Preventable!) Winter-time Foot Injuries
It’s finally beginning to feel like winter in Tennessee! The Christmas season, the anticipation of the first snowfall, and winter activities like skiing and sledding make this “the most wonderful time of year” for many. However, it’s important to remember lower temperatures can be hard on the extremities, especially the feet.
Avoid these common cold weather injuries, and enjoy your holiday season to the fullest!
- Pernio (Also known as chilblains)
- Dry, cracked heels
- Raynaud’s Phenomenon
- Injuries from falls
Read our full article for the causes and preventions of each of these foot injuries, or schedule an appointment for your own personal assessment!
