Helpful fact during the Holiday

Believe it or not I have a number of patients come into the office during the holiday's with foreign bodies in the bottom of their feet. This foreign body is an ornament from the Christmas tree. Every year since I started Triangle Foot and Ankle Specialist this has occurred. One recommendation is to check the floor around the tree daily for fallen ornaments. My highest recommendation is to wear a soled shoe in the home. Lastly, do not attempt to pull or pick out anything that you may have stepped on. Please let Dr. Thomas or a podiatrist treat this. Often when you pull or pick at the item it breaks inside and can lead to further issues.
