🦶 Foot & Ankle Swelling: What Your Feet Are Trying to Tell You
Swelling in the feet or ankles isn't always just from standing too long. It can be your body’s way of signaling an underlying issue that needs attention.
Common causes of foot and ankle swelling include:
• Overuse or injury
• Inflammation of tendons or joints
• Poor circulation
• Infection
• Improper footwear or prolonged standing
Occasional swelling may improve with rest, elevation, and supportive shoes—but swelling that persists, worsens, or causes pain shouldn't be ignored. Jeffrey S. Muroff, DPM, helps identify the cause and create a treatment plan to reduce swelling, relieve discomfort, and keep you moving comfortably.
