Dr. Quang, you are deeply appreciated by all your patients and colleagues. We wish you a day filled with joy, laughter, and all your favorite things!

Before enjoying the summer sun at the pool or lake, remember to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Many people focus on their face, arms, and legs but often forget their feet. Your feet are vulnerable to sunburn when wearing sandals, flip-flops, or going barefoot. Prevent painful burns and skin cancer by applying and reapplying sunscreen regularly to your feet this summer!☀️🦶

Summer weather is here again! Before you reach for a pair of flip flops, consider our podiatrists' recommendations for supportive summer footwear:

🩴Avoid flat, hard flip flops

🏊Wear sandals while at public pools

🚣‍♀️ Wear water shoes for outdoor activities

☀️ Choose sandals with arch support

With warmer weather here, it’s a sign that summer is not too far behind. Once the pleasant weather arrives, it's time to break out your new warm-weather footwear. Warmer and hot weather can be hard on your feet, so follow these simple tips to keep your feet in the best shape this spring and summer!

🛁 Soak your feet for at least 10 minutes with Epsom salt to mend any winter foot damage and scrub your heels to get rid of dead skin. Be sure to dry your feet thoroughly afterward.

🛏️ Before bed, moisturize your feet, heels and soles.

🦶🏼 Trim your toenails correctly, straight across to avoid ingrown toenails.

🦶🏽 Inspect your toenails for changes. If they change color or thicken, it may indicate nail fungus and you may need to visit an MTFAS podiatrist.

👟 Purchase new footwear if last year’s spring and summer shoes are worn out. Make sure your shoes fit properly and don't squeeze your toes.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Melinda! We’re thrilled to hear about the positive impact on your foot health and overall well-being. Dr. Quang and our team are always here to guide you through any concerns and ensure your feet are in the best shape possible. Your journey to healthier feet is our top priority!

Outdoor fun is back in full swing! But if your child is complaining of foot pain, cramping, or is waking abnormally, it might be time to talk about pediatric flatfoot. The podiatrists at MTFAS are here to ensure your little explorer has the support they need to stay active and pain-free. Schedule an appointment today and let’s keep their adventures going strong!

As we welcome the warmer days, many of us are excited to transition back to a more active outdoor lifestyle. It’s a joyful shift, but it’s crucial to remember that our lower limbs and feet may need some time to adjust after the winter rest.

Before you hit the ground running, remember that warming up and stretching are key to preventing foot and heel pain. Also, when increasing your activity level, take it step by step – your body has been waiting for the sunshine, but it might not be quite ready to spring into action!
