🍂 Myth-Busting Monday: “It’s Just a Sprain” 🍂

Think an ankle sprain is “no big deal”? Here’s the truth:
👉 Up to 40% of people with ankle sprains develop chronic ankle problems if left untreated like weakness, instability, or arthritis down the road.

Your ankles are the foundation of your balance, mobility, and independence. Ignoring a sprain can set you up for a lifetime of tripping, re-injury, and pain.

✅ The good news? With proper care whether that’s bracing, therapy, or treatment from our specialists you can heal strong and prevent long-term damage.

📞 Call us at 989-275-3668 or visit us at roscoankleandfoot.com. Don’t let a “minor” sprain become a major setback.

🕷️ Freaky Foot Friday: The “Silent Creeper” Wound 👣

Here’s a chilling fact:
A small cut on your foot can look harmless… but if ignored, it can quietly turn into a serious infection that spreads faster than you think.

Diabetic foot ulcers, untreated blisters, and slow-healing wounds are like “silent creepers” they sneak up and cause long-term damage if you don’t catch them early.

👉 The scary part? Many wounds don’t even hurt at first, so patients delay treatment until it’s too late.

⚠️ Don’t let a simple sore become a horror story. Our wound care team specializes in catching problems early, preventing infection, and helping feet heal the right way.

🦶 Your Ankles Are Smarter Than You Think

Did you know your ankles have proprioceptors tiny sensors that act like your body’s GPS?
They constantly signal your brain about balance and position, helping you walk on uneven ground, avoid trips, and land safely when you jump.

But here’s the problem: when ankles are injured (sprains, arthritis, instability), those sensors don’t work as well making you more likely to trip, fall, or re-injure yourself.

👉 If your ankles feel weak, wobbly, or unstable, don’t ignore it. Strengthening, orthotics, and proper treatment can retrain your ankle’s GPS and put you back on solid ground.

📞 Call us today at 989-275-3668 to schedule your appointment. Your ankles deserve smart care.

✂️ Trim It Right Tuesday: Don’t Let Your Toenails Trick You
