In the below article, we highlight foot problems occurring during winter. We also highlight a few vital tips to keep your feet happy and healthy.

Winter can be treacherous for the feet leading to unpleasant and discomforting injuries. Stress fractures are another type of injury that tends to occur more frequently during colder months. Reduced sunlight exposure in winter leads to decreased vitamin D levels in the body causing bone density to decrease. One will have fragile bones and is susceptible to fractures or breaks. Even the cold weather and adverse conditions can exacerbate existing issues and lead to new ones. Another issue that often arises during winter is an increase in foot pain caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis or arthritis.  The colder temperatures can cause the tissues in your feet to contract, resulting in inflammation and discomfort by putting additional strain on already sensitive areas of the foot.
