1. Get fitted for Ski Equipment
It's important to wear skis and boots that were chosen for you.

2. Wear a Helmet
Put on a well-fitting ski helmet whenever you ski, will help reduce the likelihood of having a serious head injury.

3. Take ski lessons
Skiing is a learned skill, lessons can teach you how to turn, stop and fall safely, which can help prevent injury.

4. Choose an appropriate ski trail
Avoid trails that are too advanced, to improve as a skier, choose slightly harder trails, not extremely difficult runs.

5. Learn how to Fall
Avoid falling on your hands, to prevent breaking your wrist. Instead, try falling to your behind, or drop to your knees. If you have to reach out to slow your fall, put out your forearms to brace yourself.

What's the bump on your foot or ankle? 👣
Have you noticed a lump that seems to be growing or causing discomfort? It could be a ganglion cyst, a fluid-filled sac that commonly forms along tendons or joints, especially around the feet and ankles.
While these cysts are usually benign, they can become painful, interfere with your movement, or lead to other complications if left untreated.
At North Jersey Foot and Ankle Center our podiatrists are here to diagnose and treat ganglion cysts with precision and care.

There are many key benefits of a consistent plantar fascia exercise program:
1. Direct pain and tension relief
2. Restored flexibility in the lower leg
3. Strengthened arch and foot support
Strengthening exercises like eccentric heel raises on a step improve the strength and endurance of the calf muscles, and increase the load tolerance of the plantar fascia itself, making the tissue more resilient to daily stresses.
