Falls on the Ice

During these cold, ice filled days, it is important to be very careful when walking outside. Falls on the ice can cause ankle sprains and foot and ankle fractures. If you do fall on the ice, it is important to get your foot checked with a podiatrist or local ER. Immediately after the injury, it is important to wrap the ankle and foot in an ace wrap, ice the area,elevate, and use crutches if needed. If you do have an injury to your foot or ankle, please call 708-763-0580 to have it examined. Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!
