“Oh, my aching feet.” Sound familiar? The truth is feet are not supposed to hurt but there are many reasons why they might, such as – Arch pain, Heel pain, Ingrown toenails and Sports overuse injuries.
Although feet are a marvel of engineering, even the best engineered machines can break down. Sometimes all that is required is a tune up, sometimes it’s a more major repair and always there’s preventative maintenance.
Did you know that your feet can be an indicator of your general health? Heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and poor circulation all have the ability to affect your feet. Diabetics can be particularly vulnerable to foot problems and should be monitored closely.
So, if you are a diabetic in need of foot care, if you have had to cut back on exercising because of pain in your feet or you have any concerns at all about the health of your feet, please call to set up an appointment with our podiatrist.
