Quick Answer — Foot Care for Rotating Shift Workers
Rotating shifts wreak havoc on circulation, sleep, and inflammation control — making your feet vulnerable. Practical defense: invest in two well-cushioned shoe pairs you alternate daily, use compression socks during work hours, hydrate aggressively (15% extra during night rotations), elevate feet 15 minutes between shifts, and apply moisturizer with urea before sleep. Watch for swelling that does not resolve overnight, persistent heel pain, or numbness — these are signs to see a podiatrist before they become disabling conditions like plantar fasciitis or peripheral neuropathy.
