Achilles Pain? Don’t Ignore It! 🚶‍♂️⚡

Achilles tendonitis often stems from a sudden increase in activity, leading to stiffness, soreness, and tenderness in the tendon. You may notice pain when squeezing the sides of the tendon or even small nodules where the tissue is damaged.

Treatment ranges from rest, ice, and immobilization to orthotics, splints, and physical therapy—even surgery in severe cases. If you’re experiencing Achilles pain, Feet for Life can help you heal and prevent further damage. Don’t push through the pain, get the care you need!

Are Gel Manicures Bad for You? 💅🤔
It depends! The key factors are the product used, how long it stays on, and proper application/removal.

🔹 Soft gels soak off with acetone—safe in moderation but can expose you to chemicals.
🔹 Hard gels require filing, which can weaken nails and may contain unregulated toxins.
🔹 UV light exposure can contribute to skin aging and cancer risks.
🔹 Peeling off gel causes the most damage—always remove it properly!
