What is the Cluffy Wedge?

August 31, 2010 by  
Filed under Foot Care Products

The Cluffy wedge is an add-on to the end of a foot orthotic or a separate insert into a shoe that aims to elevate the hallux. The cluffy wedge was originally designed for functional hallux limitus, but is also being used for those with a delayed onset to the windlass mechanism. See these videos on the cluffy wedge. The only problem with the Cluffy Wedge, is that if the shoe toe box is not deep enough it can cause some trauma to the big toe nail. In these case a heel raise can sometimes be used as an alternative to the Cluffy Wedge.

Im 13 and i wear a size 13 almost 14 which im about to turn 14 its been like that eversince i was born i wear my age age 9 i wore a size 9 could it be a health issue or is it ok

Best answer:

Answer by R F
Well, that depends on whether you think having big feet is a health issue! lol! I think it’s just a weird coincidence. Your feet are one of the first parts of your body to reach their adult size. I doubt they’ll be getting much bigger. It would help if you told us how tall you are.

Guinea Pig Babies care tips

August 28, 2010 by  
Filed under Foot Care Tips

Since baby guinea pigs are so small and tiny it’s always a good idea to take more precautions to help to make them safe while they are in their cage.  Take their little heads for example, their heads could easily become stuck in between the bars and this would lead to asphyxiation.

One way to prevent this from happening is to line the cage walls with cardboard from the bottom up to around one foot.  If your cage is made from wire grid, then you could add a new wall by placing more grid on the outside and then putting cardboard in between the two cage walls.  After the babies have gotten to be around 4-6 months old this extra wall or cardboard can be removed.  They have now gotten big enough to not worry about their little heads becoming stuck.

After the new babies are born and mom has had time to sufficiently bond and clean them it will be safe for you to touch the newborn pups.  Your smell on the new pups will not affect the mom from taking care of them herself.  This would also be a great time to monitor their weight.  By keeping track of their weight this will give you some idea of how well their health is coming along.

If by chance your baby pup is not growing at the same rate an another one then you will need to step in and place this pup with the mom alone at feeding time.  This will ensure that this little pup is receiving their fair share.  If this pups weight does not improve or any of the others are not gaining weight, then you need to get in contact with your veterinarian as quickly as possible.

Baby pups also require alfalfa rich hay in the form of pellets as it is beneficial to their growing needs and is also good for a pregnant guinea pig.  Since guinea pigs are a plant based eater they need to not be given, sugars, fats, seeds/nut or animal products.  They do need a fresh supply of water kept at hand and timothy hay.

What health codes prevent bare feet in public establishments like stores and shops?

August 23, 2010 by  
Filed under Foot Health FAQ

Question by Jiffy Feet: What health codes prevent bare feet in public establishments like stores and shops?
I could not find any on the Web.

I’ll award anyone who can provide a verifiable link to any stated health code from the United States government, any of the 50 states, or any local municipality which states bare feet are not allowed in a local establishment.

Please note, health codes are NOT store policies. They are policies created by the federal, state or local governments.

I am anxious to see if someone can find any heath codes that state this. If more than one person answers correctly, I will award the 10 points to the first correct response.

Best answer:

Answer by Pfo
It is up to the store to implement that policy, it is not regulated. Most stores do to enforce decency.

Give your answer to this question below!

Lawn service Gadsden AL? Gadsden AL is a pretty city in North Eastern Alabama known for its thriving industry. Gadsden was awarded the honor of “All-America City” by the National Civic League in 1991. The humid, sub tropical climate poses challenges for those interested in Gadsden lawn care.

While many of the standard lawn service chores are easy because of the hot weather, others can be challenging to achieve. Some Gadsden lawn care professionals have put together a list to help manage a vibrant lawn, as this is can be the most difficult part of the yard to maintain.

The climate in this part of the state is quite humid, and there are many issues that a turf has to contend with. Among these are insects, hot climate, and limited water resources. The soil composition in many parts of the state is clay based in nature and not conducive to certain types of turf.

One of the preferred ways to maintain healthy turf is old fashioned “horse sense”. It is caracal that in the beginning stages of growth, the lawn is watered daily. This will speed photosynthesis and continue to expand the root structure. Progress is more certain if the correct species of turf is used. Some types of turf benefit from certain soil types, so a little investigation can go far in achieving success with the final result.

Most Gadsden lawn service pro’s advocate a simple maintenance regimen to keep turf healthy once it is full grown. When mowing the lawn, mow aa high as possible. This leaves intact plenty of the grass blades and leaf area to advance the growth of photosynthesis. Fertilizer in the summer months is critical based on the type of soil that is common in your part of Alabama. Make sure to abstain from stressing the turf with foot traffic or weed growth. The more invariable the approach to lawn care is, the healthier the grass will be.

Gadsden AL environmental landscape groups are devoted to keeping Alabama green. It is positive for Alabama, and beneficial for the homeowners. If you follow these very simple Gadsden lawn care recommendations, and any homeowner to keep their yard healthy year round.
