If you’re a runner, you know the most frustrating pain can come from your toenails. At My Chicago Foot Expert, we realize that toenail issues like ingrown toenails and fungus can completely derail your running routines, so let’s look at what we can do to prevent them. https://tinyurl.com/4v943j6j

When you're running, it might feel right to lead with your heel, allowing it to hit the pavement first. Here's the thing: doing so might lead to shin splints and other issues that will keep you from pushing your personal fitness goals. Overstriding and landing directly on your heel sends shockwaves right up your leg, cheating your foot's natural ability to absorb impact. But is switching to a toe strike really the answer?
The truth is, the "best" running form is less about what part of your foot hits the ground and more about where it lands in relation to your body. Our new blog breaks down the science of foot strike and provides a simple checklist for a smarter, more efficient stride: https://tinyurl.com/mr8kznam

We all love the red carpet style, but towering heels can be a nightmare for foot health, leading to bunions, hammertoes, and nerve pain over time. What do YOU do to ease the aches? Bring a backup pair? Pad the toe box with custom support? Something else altogether? Share your tips in the comments below!

Ever wonder why one of your shoes wears out so much faster than the other? Or why your low back only seems to ache on one side after a walk?
It's not just a weird quirk. These are major clues that your body's alignment is off, and the source might surprise you. Often, the real culprit is a "functional" leg length difference, caused entirely by the way your feet move.
Issues like a collapsed arch on one side or a rigid, high arch on the other can make one leg "act" longer or shorter, throwing your knees, hips, and back out of balance.
In our new blog, we dive into the hidden connection between your feet and the rest of your body. Learn how to spot the signs and what can be done. We cover:
🔹 How flat feet and high arches affect your alignment
🔹 Why tight calves can lead to an uneven stride
🔹 The role custom orthotics play in leveling the playing field

That post-game limp isn't just "part of the game." Your foot pain is sending a specific signal!

Pain at the base of the big toe? Could be Turf Toe, so don't push through it. If it sidelined Joe Burrow, it can take you out of the game, too!
Sharp heel pain Monday morning? A classic sign of Plantar Fasciitis.
Bruising on the sole of your foot? A potential Lisfranc injury that needs immediate attention.

That pins-and-needles feeling in your toes when you get cold or stressed isn't just a quirk. It could be a sign of Raynaud's Disease, a common circulatory condition that affects millions. And while it does change the color of the skin, Raynaud's is not just a cosmetic issue; it can cause real pain and discomfort. It is manageable, however, and we can help! If you're experiencing these symptoms, don't just dismiss them. A proper diagnosis is the first step to feeling better: https://tinyurl.com/yd864jm5
