Foot hygiene is important. If you are experiencing foot pain or frequent poor odors, don't wait to be evaluated. Schedule an appointment with your McKinley provider.

Some foot hygiene tips include:
👟 Wash your feet thoroughly
👟 Avoid walking barefoot to help protect your feet from injury & infection
👟 Inspect your feet regularly & pay attention to changes in color, texture, & appearance
👟 Cut toenails straight across
👟 Wear proper shoes that are not too large or too small
👟 Moisturize feet to avoid calluses or skin irritation
👟 If you get bunions, try icing your feet to reduce inflammation or soaking in Epsom salt

Keep those feet happy! 👞

Your hands do a lot for you every day, from typing papers to scrolling and gaming. But too much repetitive movement can lead to carpal tunnel symptoms like pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in your hands and wrists.

🖐️ What to watch for:
• Tingling or numbness in fingers
• Hand or wrist pain, especially at night
• Weak grip or trouble holding objects

💻 Small changes can help:
• Take short breaks every 20 to 30 minutes
• Stretch your hands/wrists throughout the day
• Keep your wrists in a neutral position while typing
• Adjust your screen and keyboard to a comfortable height

If your symptoms worsen, schedule an appointment with your McKinley primary care provider. They can evaluate your symptoms and refer you to a specialist if needed.

Taking care of your hands now can help you avoid bigger problems later. 🤝
