2020 Holiday Gift Guide
Thanksgiving is behind us and, like the rest of this year, it was like none that have come before. The holiday season is in full swing. Whether you’re planning to shop online and ship most of your gifts or a change in holiday celebration is in your plans, you’re going to need to make some choices. How about presents that will help maintain and improve foot health for those you love? Here are five ideas from Middlesex County podiatrist Dr. Jason Grossman:
Warm socks. These will keep everyone you know warm throughout the winter months, and are especially important for anyone whose feet get especially chilly, including those with circulatory ailments or diabetes.
How about a new pair of slippers? Warm slippers with thick non-skid soles are not only a delightful indulgence, but they can prevent falls at home and reduce the risk of foot and ankle injuries, including fractures and ankle sprains.
It’s important to replace athletic shoes every six months or 500 road miles, whichever comes first. The athlete in your life will be grateful for a new pair of sneakers.
Remember shoehorns? A long-handled shoehorn is an excellent option for anyone you know who has trouble putting on their shoes.
A pedicure or a foot massage is a real treat. If you’re not comfortable getting a gift certificate to send your loved one to a salon or spa, how about everything needed for an at-home experience.
The best thing that you can give anyone on your list with concerns about foot health is a ride to see a foot doctor like Jason Grossman, DPM. When you see the letters DPM after a doctor’s name, that lets you know that the doctor is a podiatrist and an expert at diagnosing and treating all illnesses and injuries to the feet, ankles, and lower legs.
