Winter Foot Care in Orlando: Staying Warm Without Achilles Strain

Even Orlando’s mild winters—felt in Lake Mary, Longwood, and Sanford, FL—can trigger Achilles tendonitis from cold-tight muscles. Dr. Sean Griffin at our podiatry clinic shares prevention and treatment tips.

Why Winter Increases Risk

Cooler temperatures tighten tendons, and Orlando’s active lifestyle increases strain.

Prevention Strategies

• Warm-Up: Stretch calves before Sanford runs or Longwood walks.

• Gradual Activity: Increase intensity slowly.

• Proper Footwear: Wear insulated, supportive shoes.

Treatment Options

• RICE: Rest, ice, compression, elevation.

• Stretches: Wall leans and heel drops.

• Orthotics: Custom inserts from Dr. Sean Griffin.
