Your vital foot health
Think about it. Your feet are working all the time—helping you walk, stand, run, work, and go about your daily routine. The more active you are and the older you get, the more pressure and abuse your feet and ankles take. In fact, people aged 50 and over have put at least 75,000 miles on their feet, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).
Additionally, like any body part, feet, and ankles are prone to disease and injury—anything from tendon ruptures and ingrown toenails to diabetic ulcers and warts. Your podiatrist in Phoenix can help you prevent injury and disease, as well as treat any conditions that do occur.
