❄️☔🌧️ With our cold and wet Melbourne winter nearly here, we need to take extra care of our feet. ❄️☔🌧️

Here are just a few of the foot health conditions that become far more common in the colder weather:

👣 Heel pain / Plantar fasciitis: The colder weather means your plantar fascia is more constricted, stiffer and takes longer to warm up causing you more pain.

👣 Toenail fungus: Infection is more common in winter because your nails become dry and brittle. Your nails become breeding grounds for athlete’s foot and other toenail infections.

👣 Dry, cracked heels: This is especially common in men and if left untreated, fissures or cracks can develop, increasing your risk of infection.

👣 Chilblains:  They are caused by painful inflammation of blood vessels in your skin due to prolonged exposure to cold air.

👣 Morton’s neuroma: Cold weather can exacerbate neuropathy conditions, often causing weakness, numbness, tingling, burning and pain in the area.

At Bellevue Podiatry, we believe that prevention is always better than cure.  ALL foot health issues can be identified early, and the eariler they are identified, the easier, faster and more likely they are to be fixed once and for all and never come back.

With this in mind, we are kicking off a foot health awareness campaign in preparation for the colder months.  We are offering GAP FREE foot health assessments (includes general foot and nail care, for those without Extras cover, just $59).

This offer is limited the first 10 people who want to ensure their feet are well prepared for the colder months. Friends and family welcome.
