Here are some back to school tips for the teachers;

-Look for shoes that are wide enough for their foot and deep enough in the toe area so that their toes can move around unencumbered. Shoes should support the arch and have a firm heel counter so the heel does not slip around in the shoe. Open back or sling back shoes are not as supportive.

-If shoes do not offer adequate support, there are over-the-counter arch support products available as well as custom-designed orthotics through our podiatrist office.
-Another common problem can be excessive perspiration, which can lead to athlete's foot. Use a good foot powder to prevent perspiration and we suggest not wearing the same shoe every day. If this doesn't work, try using an antiperspirant on the bottom of the feet each day.

Common problems related to unsupportive shoes include plantar fasciitis, or pain on the bottom of the foot, and Achilles tendonitis, pain in the back of the heel. If you have gone from a period of relative inactivity to being on your feet for seven hours a day, you might develop one of these conditions. Stretching exercises can help relieve the pain.

If these problems are prolonged and are not relieved by conservative techniques, Schedule an appointment with North Jersey Foot and Ankle Center today!

Here are some summer foot care tips!
1. Wash your feet and exfoliate the rough patches of your soles with a foot file, scrub or pumice stone. Moisturize your feet and soles daily.

2. Do not forget to apply sunscreen especially to the soles of your feet. They need just as much protection.

3. The warmer weather can bring the perfect breeding ground for athletes foot. Make sure your feet are completely dry after washing them. Change socks and shoes regularly.
Wear flip flops when using communal showers. It is not recommended to share foot wear!

4. Flip flops and sandals can be flat and bendy with no support. Wear shoes with arch support.
It is also advisable to always wear shoes, when walking around barefoot your feet can pick up dirt, infections, damage skin and you can also burn the bottom of your feet with the hot ground.

Why do kids get warts on their feet?
Plantar warts (verrucae) are caused by a common highly contagious virus, the human papilloma virus (HPV). This virus is contagious by contact, either touching the wart itself or indirectly in communal places that we are barefoot like, public pools, gymnastics, changing rooms, or barefoot play areas.
**Plantar warts can be painful, persistent but the good news is they are treatable.

At North Jersey Foot and Ankle center, we offer gentle, effective treatment options tailored to your child's age and comfort. Don't wait for warts to spread or become painful- early treatment is key.

Heatwave incoming! Keep your feet cool this weekend with our top tips:

👣- Go breathable- choose sandals or shoes made from natural, breathable materials like leather. Avoid plastics!

💧- Stay hydrated- Drinking plenty of water helps prevent swelling in your feet and ankles.

🧊- Cool down- soak your feet in cool water at the end of the day to ease heat and tiredness.

🧦- Ditch the tight socks- choose light, moisture-wicking socks or go barefoot at home if it's safe.

🦶🏻-watch out for flip flops- they may feel airy, but flat unsupportive soles can cause foot pain. Supportive sandals are better option.

Enjoy the sunshine and weather, but look after your soles!
