Top Tips for Protecting Your Feet in Cooler Weather
- Moisturize Regularly: Cold weather dries out skin. Prevent cracks and irritation by moisturizing daily.
- Choose Warm, Cushioned Shoes: Insulated, supportive shoes provide the comfort you need on chillier days.
- Avoid Slippery Surfaces: Protect yourself from falls by wearing shoes with slip-resistant soles on wet or icy surfaces.
- Check Your Shoe Fit: Foot size can change over time, and shoes that don’t fit right can worsen pain. Stop by FootTraffik to find your perfect fit! Watch Dr. Graves Shoe Fit Guide!
Are You Ready to Run?
Dr. Graves recently ran in the Long Beach Marathon and enjoyed catching up with many of our patients on the course! If you are experiencing foot pain after running or playing sports? You’re not alone. Common issues like plantar fasciitis, which causes heel pain from inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of your foot, and shin splints, often triggered by increased physical activity, are frequently seen in athletes. Our Doctors provide expert care for these injuries and more, helping you heal faster and get back to doing what you love.

Real Reviews from Our Patients
- Emily P.: "The staff here are amazing. Super friendly and all-around a pleasant, familial vibe. They kindly squeezed me in on short notice just before closing on a weekend after I had an accident. The office and medical staff run efficiently…would almost destroy my foot again to hang with these people 🙃"
- M. Crawford: "Just had my first visit and it was a great experience! I was seen quickly, the doctor and staff were nice, and they performed a procedure for me right away. Will look forward to my next visit."
