Myth: Foot size stays the same for life
Fact: Arches flatten and ligaments stretch with age, pregnancy, and weight changes — meaning shoe size can change

👣 Condition Spotlight: Morton’s Neuroma
What is it?
A Morton’s neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue between the toes — often between the 3rd and 4th toes.

Symptoms:
✔️ Burning or tingling in the ball of the foot
✔️ Sharp, shooting pain
✔️ Feeling like you’re standing on a fold or pebble
✔️ Numbness between toes

Causes:
– Tight shoes or high heels
– Flat feet or overpronation
– Repetitive pressure or trauma

How we treat it:
✅ Custom orthotics to reduce nerve compression
✅ Padding and footwear changes
✅ Anti-inflammatory care
✅ Referral for imaging or injections (if needed)

🦶 Pro Tip: The sooner we reduce pressure on the nerve, the better the outcome.
