Chiropodists are trained to assess and treat foot and ankle conditions. “Foot pain is never normal! When your feet ache, your entire body aches. But with proper assessment and treatment, you can get back to doing the activities you love!” Chiropodists, like Erin, treat common ailments such as ingrown toenails and plantar warts. They also can recognize the initial symptoms of serious diseases, which often appear first in the feet, such as arthritis, diabetes and circulatory disorders. The average person takes about 8,000 to 10,000 steps every day. Add that up over the course of a lifetime and it’s the equivalent of walking four times around the world! Foot Health Awareness Month is the perfect opportunity to consider the value and importance of our feet. Advanced Foot & Orthotic Clinic has been providing comprehensive medical care to the town of Midland and the surrounding area since 2003.
