Can Cold Temperatures Cause Foot Pain?

Winter is coming and the cold temperature can cause the tissues in your joints to contract and pull on the nerve endings, causing joint pain.

Don’t neglect your feet during winter.

It’s easy to forget about those feet when they’re covered by socks and shoes over the winter. Minimize the risk of foot problems by taking the right cold-weather precautions. A foot care specialist can help develop a routine that protects feet from the threats of winter weather.
Although having occasional cold feet is normal, there are some instances when a visit to the doctor may be necessary. Persistent symptoms may be something to discuss with a doctor, but treating the underlying cause should help the feet return to a better temperature.

Anyone who experiences cold feet frequently or for no obvious reason should speak to their doctor about possible causes. Like if the feet feel cold internally, but the skin does not feel cold to the touch, a person should see a doctor, as this may be a sign of nerve damage or other neurological conditions.
