What Your Feet Say About Your Health

Subtle Signs. Powerful Clues.

Your feet do more than carry you through life—they can quietly reveal what’s happening inside your body. At Accura Podiatry, I believe in listening closely to these signs, because early awareness can make all the difference.

1. Cold Feet or Numbness

This could be a sign of poor circulation or nerve issues, such as peripheral neuropathy. It’s especially important to monitor if you have diabetes or vascular concerns.

2. Swollen Ankles or Feet

Swelling can be linked to fluid retention, heart or kidney issues, or even side effects from certain medications. If it’s persistent, it’s worth investigating.

3. Discoloured Toenails

Yellow, brittle, or thickened nails may indicate a fungal infection, while dark streaks or sudden changes in nail colour should be checked promptly.

4. Cracked Heels or Dry Skin

While often cosmetic, persistent dryness or deep cracks can signal thyroid imbalance, dehydration, or even eczema.

5. Foot Pain That Won’t Go Away

Chronic pain isn’t something to “just live with.” It could point to biomechanical issues, arthritis, or nerve compression—and it deserves attention.

6. Changes in Foot Shape or Arch

A collapsing arch or shifting toes may be early signs of tendon dysfunction or structural changes, especially as we age.

Why It Matters?

Your feet are a mirror to your overall health. At Accura Podiatry, I look beyond the surface—combining clinical expertise with a calm, caring approach to help you feel better from the ground up.

If you’ve noticed changes in your feet, don’t ignore them. Book a consultation and let’s take a closer look—together.
