Treating And Managing Ganglion Cysts

Modify Shoes And Lacing Techniques

Patients with ganglion cysts on the feet or ankles might be able to manage their symptoms more effectively if they choose different shoes and modify their lacing techniques. It is important to choose shoes that do not pinch or squeeze the foot, and patients might need to choose flat shoes instead of heels. To prevent the cyst from rubbing against the shoe, patients should try to find shoes that don't touch the cyst. Open-toed shoes, sandals, or flip flops may be beneficial. If sneakers or closed-toed shoes must be worn, placing padding between the cyst and the shoe can reduce discomfort. In terms of lacing techniques for sneakers and boots, patients may wish to experiment with tying the laces in looser knots, and sneakers that do not require lacing may feel more comfortable.
