Foot Care Matters: Check the Bottoms of Your Feet 👣

Most of us are familiar with the balance issues and risk of falls associated with diabetic neuropathy; however, there is an equally dangerous culprit that is not discussed. If you have neuropathy in your feet, daily foot checks and regular foot care aren’t optional — they’re essential.

Neuropathy can reduce or completely take away your ability to feel pain, heat, or injury. That means a small cut, blister, or pressure spot can go unnoticed… and develop into a serious ulcer. In severe cases, untreated ulcers can lead to infection and even amputation.

Here’s how to protect your feet:

✅ Check the bottoms of your feet every single day

Use a mirror or ask for help if needed. Look for redness, cracks, blisters, cuts, swelling, or dark spots.

✅ Inspect your shoes before putting them on

Always check inside for rocks, debris, rough seams, or objects that could cause pressure or injury.

✅ Wear proper footwear

Choose well-fitting, supportive shoes with a wide toe box. Avoid walking barefoot — even at home.

✅ Wear clean, dry socks

Moisture increases risk of skin breakdown. Choose seamless socks when possible.

✅ Moisturize — but not between the toes

Keep skin hydrated to prevent cracking, but avoid excess moisture between toes.

✅ Trim nails carefully

Cut straight across. If you can’t see or reach safely, see a professional.

If you notice a wound that isn’t healing, redness that spreads, drainage, swelling, or warmth — seek medical attention promptly.

Prevention is powerful.

Daily checks can save limbs. 💙

⏳ “How long will it take to feel better?”
One of the most common questions we get in physical therapy!

The honest answer: it depends—because you are unique. 💙
Your timeline can be affected by things like:
✔️ The type and severity of your injury
✔️ How long you’ve had the issue
✔️ Consistency with visits and home exercises
✔️ Sleep, stress, and daily activity levels

✨ Good news: many people start noticing improvements within the first few visits, especially in pain, movement, or confidence. Long-term healing and strength take time—but we guide you every step of the way.

Progress isn’t always linear, but every session is a step forward.

Jaw Pain, Headaches, or Clicking? It Could Be TMJ.

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull—and symptoms can go far beyond jaw pain.

Common TMJ symptoms include:
• Jaw pain or stiffness
• Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
• Headaches or migraines
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Ear pain, ringing, or pressure
• Pain with chewing or yawning

What causes TMJ issues?
• Teeth grinding or clenching
• Poor posture (especially desk or phone posture)
• Stress and muscle tension
• Jaw trauma or injury
• Arthritis or joint inflammation

⚠️ If left untreated, TMJ can lead to long-term complications, including chronic pain, worsening headaches, limited jaw mobility, sleep disruption, and ongoing neck and shoulder issues.

💪 How Physical Therapy Can Help
Physical therapy addresses the root cause of TMJ dysfunction by:
• Reducing pain and inflammation
• Improving jaw mobility and alignment
• Treating neck and postural contributors
• Releasing muscle tension
• Teaching exercises and strategies to prevent flare-ups

✨ Burch Physical Therapy has therapists specially trained to evaluate and treat TMJ concerns with personalized, evidence-based care.

📅 Don’t wait for it to get worse—make an appointment today and get relief.

🌟 Patient Testimonial – Stephen H (4/20/2025) 🌟

Burch Physical Therapy is an outstanding place for treatment. Since starting out over four weeks ago, I have noticed a change in my body’s ability to perform everyday functions. Each week my legs have gotten stronger thereby reducing the strain on my lower back when lifting objects as well as getting up from a sitting position. Being taught how to properly engage my whole body when doing daily tasks has been most rewarding. Not only teaching me the importance of what and how the different muscles react while doing the prescribed exercises but also demonstrating them by making sure that I have the proper technique while performing them. Both my physical therapist, Gavin, and his assistant Kat, have shown me that they truly care in our committed to my overall well-being. The other workers as well are definitely team players, stepping in to help others when they see a need. The front staff are always very welcoming, making me feel at ease and taking care of all the business aspects of my treatment with utmost care and concern. The facility is very modern clean and orderly. The spacious waiting area offers a nice touch too. Even the location being centrally located in the city with easy access and very ample parking are a bonus. I highly recommend anyone needing physical therapy to make Burch their first choice of treatment.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Stephen! We’re thrilled to hear about the improvements you’ve made and that our team could support you every step of the way. Gavin, Kat, and the entire staff are dedicated to helping our patients achieve their best, and your kind words mean the world to us. Keep up the great work, and we’re excited to continue supporting your journey to better health!
