Foot mechanics play a major role in your overall balance. A podiatrist can assess how your feet move, how your muscles function and whether your footwear supports you correctly.

Issues such as weak foot muscles, reduced sensation, poor alignment, arthritis, or changes in gait can all affect stability. By identifying the underlying cause, a podiatrist can recommend targeted treatments, such as strengthening exercises, footwear changes, orthotics or gait retraining, to help improve your balance and reduce your risk of falls.

If you're experiencing balance or stability, reach out and schedule a consultation with your local podiatrist ๐Ÿ‘‰ 067 419 6088.

Did you know that pins and needles in your feet usually happen when a nerve is irritated or blood flow is reduced? Itโ€™s that familiar tingling sensation your body uses to signal that something isnโ€™t quite flowing or firing the way it should.

Common triggers include tight shoes, sitting or standing in one position for too long, or even foot posture issues like flat feet or high arches that place pressure on certain nerves. It can also be linked to conditions such as tarsal tunnel syndrome, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or anything that affects nerve health.

While occasional tingling is normal, frequent or persistent episodes - especially if they come with numbness or burning - are worth getting checked by a podiatrist to rule out ongoing nerve irritation and keep your feet functioning at their best.

If the sensation is persistent, frequent, painful, or paired with numbness, itโ€™s a good idea to see a podiatrist. Early assessment helps prevent longโ€‘term nerve irritation.

Cutting your toenails seems simple, but doing it the wrong way can lead to painful problems like ingrown nails, infections, or damaged skin.

The safest way is to trim them straight across, not too short, and avoid rounding the corners - thatโ€™s the part that often grows inward and causes trouble.

If you struggle to reach your feet, have thick or curved nails, diabetes, circulation issues, or recurring ingrown nails, itโ€™s best to leave the trimming to a podiatrist. A quick, professional trim can prevent a lot of unnecessary pain and keep your feet healthy and comfortable. Reach out to learn more ๐Ÿ‘‰ 067 419 6088

๐Ÿฉด Love your flipโ€‘flops? Thatโ€™s perfectly fine - as long as youโ€™re not living in them 24/7.

Flipโ€‘flops are great for quick errands, the beach, or slipping on around the house, but wearing them for long stretches can place extra stress on your feet because they offer very little arch support, minimal cushioning, and make your toes grip with every step to keep the shoe on. That combination changes how your feet absorb impact and how your muscles work, which is why discomfort often creeps in when theyโ€™re worn beyond short, casual use.

23/02/2026

Your running shoes donโ€™t last forever - and your feet feel it first.

Most shoes start losing support between 500โ€“800 km, even if they still look fine. Once the cushioning breaks down, every stride puts more stress on your feet, ankles, and knees.

Thatโ€™s why mileage matters. And why runners who want to stay injuryโ€‘free keep an eye on their shoes and their foot health.

Engela Otto Podiatry helps runners choose the right shoe, spot early warning signs, and keep their feet performing mile after mile. Reach out today - 067 419 6088.
