Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and giving thanks—but let’s not forget about our feet! With all the cooking, shopping, and festive activities, your feet can take quite a beating this season. Dr. Shaynah Goldfine, your local podiatrist in Marietta, is here to share a few tips to keep your feet happy and healthy during the holiday.
Whether you’re on your feet cooking a feast or hitting the sales on Black Friday, make sure to wear comfortable, supportive shoes. Avoid high heels or flats with little arch support, as these can lead to pain and fatigue.
If you’re spending long hours in the kitchen or on a shopping spree, remember to take breaks. Sit down, elevate your feet, and give them some rest to prevent swelling and soreness.
Spilled gravy? Wet floors? Holiday gatherings can increase the risk of slips and falls. Be mindful of your surroundings and wear shoes with good traction.
Don’t Ignore Foot Pain
If you’re experiencing persistent foot or ankle pain, don’t wait until after the holidays to address it. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Goldfine to ensure you’re back on your feet comfortably in time for all the festivities.
This Thanksgiving, show your feet a little extra gratitude. If you need expert advice or treatment, visit Dr. Shaynah Goldfine’s podiatry practice in Marietta—we’re here to keep you moving through the holiday season and beyond!
