Yes... Foot orthotics can help manage low back pain by improving and stabilizing the position of the feet. They can improve almost every aspect of a person’s gait. The medical term for this phenomenon is the kinetic chain.

The doctors at Mountain Podiatry can assess your gait and create custom orthotics that can help compensate for weaknesses—giving you a more solid foundation on which to walk or run. For appointments, please call (828) 697-8686 (no referral is necessary).

The number one foot problem that leads to falls is loss of balance – but balance can be affected by a number of factors like foot pain and instability, neuropathy, or even improper footwear. And many times it can be very hard to understand why someone’s balance is off.

The bottom line is that when your feet hurt or you can’t feel them properly, your body can’t balance well—making falls much more likely. Falls are not a normal part of aging—and something as simple as choosing the right footwear can make a big difference.

Call (828) 697-8686 (no referral is necessary) and let our doctors at Mountain Podiatry help to diagnose and create a treatment plan to keep your feet on solid ground.

Gout is actually one of the most common and intensely painful forms of arthritis. It’s caused by a buildup of uric acid in the bloodstream. Uric acid is a natural byproduct of the body breaking down purines—substances found in many foods and drinks. When levels get too high, the uric acid can form microscopic crystals, most commonly in the joint of the big toe. These needle-like crystals cause sudden, intense inflammation, swelling, and pain. Managing gout isn’t just about medications. Your everyday lifestyle choices play a major role.

• Stay well-hydrated: Water helps flush uric acid from the body.
• Maintain a healthy weight: Even a small reduction in weight can significantly lower uric acid levels.
• Avoid high-purine foods: Think less red meat, more veggies.
• Choose plant-based proteins: Beans, lentils, tofu, and nuts are great alternatives.
• Cut back on alcohol, especially beer and sugary cocktails.

If you’re experiencing foot pain that comes on suddenly and feels like a burning or stabbing sensation, especially in the big toe, call (828) 697-8686 (no referral is necessary) to make an appointment. Gout is treatable, but repeated flares can lead to joint damage if left unmanaged.

We all love to take a good vacation, but some foot conditions can stop you from having the fun you planned. Extra activity can lead to some real challenges, especially if you have certain foot conditions.

Plantar Fasciitis: notorious for flaring up with increased walking, especially on hard surfaces
Bunions and Hammertoes: wearing different shoes for travel or simply walking much more than usual can lead to rubbing, redness, and inflammation around the joints.
Gout: Travel can throw off your routines and eating habits. New rich foods or alcohol can easily trigger a painful gout attack.
Metatarsalgia: Highly susceptible to flare-ups from increased walking, especially if your shoes aren’t appropriate.
Ingrown Toenails: The combination of prolonged walking, feet swelling in warmer climates, and wearing shoes that become too tight can cause an ingrown toenail to develop or worsen.

Remember to increase your walking distances in the weeks leading up to your trip, so your feet are better conditioned for the demands ahead.

It’s tempting to cram a lot into your itinerary, but overdoing it can quickly trigger a flare-up. Plan your days with built-in rest periods. And, instead of walking tours, go for a bus tour or a museum visit where you can sit and enjoy the exhibits. Mountain Podiatry can help you get your feet ready. Call (828) 697-8686 (no referral is necessary).

Higher temperatures can intensify symptoms like swelling, inflammation, and discomfort.

•Water-rich fruits & veggies (like watermelon & cucumbers) to stay hydrated
•Berries & cherries to fight inflammation and gout
•Salmon & tuna for joint and nerve support
•Dairy for strong bones•Leafy greens & bananas to prevent cramps
•Colorful veggies (think bell peppers & tomatoes) for healing power
