Everyone is starting to return to Florida for the seasonal upgrade in weather. Fire up the pool warmer, and get ready to swim.
Swimming is known for
being an activity that is less damaging to the joints of the knee,
foot and ankle, and can even offer a means of exercise for athletes
of other sports with certain foot injuries!
Just
about the worst thing a runner can hear is that they are injured and
going to have to take time off from running. Luckily, swimming
can help soften this blow by offering an alternative way to get some
cardiovascular activity. Stress fractures are small
fracture that occurs from excessive force on normal bone and can
force runners to talk a break from running for several weeks.
For the runner with a stress fracture, swimming is often a great
alternative that will not bear weight on the injury. Swimming
can also help an athlete ease back into their favorite sport after
other serious injuries. For example, after a peroneal
tendon tear, swimming can help to make the transition from being
immobilized in a cast or a CAM walker boot to normal running or other
weight bearing sports go more gently by allowing the muscles to
slowly adapt.
Swimmers
should also be careful to take care to avoid injuries that can occur
from intense pool training. Ankle pain is a common
complaint from the repetitive motion the ankles are forced through
while swimming. The Achilles tendon, which is responsible for
flexing the foot, may also become irritated from the repetition and
develop Achilles tendonitis. While the Achilles is doing
much of the work, the extensor tendons on the top of the foot can
also become irritated by being tightly pulled. By taking care
to stretch the feet and ankles properly and always listen
to your body when working out, these injuries can be minimized.
Swimmers also need to take extra care to avoid developing
warts, Athlete’s foot, and fungal nails from bacteria and
fungus that may live in locker rooms and poolside surfaces where
other bare feet have deposited them. If these conditions do
develop, see us at Family Foot and Leg Center for an urgent evaluation, as to help prevent spread to others.

From 2002 to 2019, I was battling this terrible disease called Diabetes, I couldn't afford so many things, as I was spending about 70% of my income on treating diabetes and liver problems. little did i know that my medications were the main cause of this issue. After spending tons of money nursing my diabetes, my wife’s friend messaged her on facebook, Sarah told her about the great herbalist Dr James,who uses herbs and roots extract to cure diseases that have been said to be incurable by drugs and injections from Nigeria in west A frica, my wife explained to Dr.James what’s going on with me, and Dr.James asked what i have been using, after my wife explained to him, he asked if i was having blurred vision, kidney issues or any other complications, my wife told him i had blurry vision and liver issues, and he confirmed that the medicines i have been using is the cause of the complications. That was when it occurred to me that my doctor had changed my medications 5 times within the space of 12 years. I took my time to read about the side effects of the medicine i was using, lo and behold, I was shocked.
