Did you know May 9 was National Women’s Checkup Day? If you missed the opportunity to check in with your doctor, it’s OK. There’s still time to celebrate the importance of women’s health this month. May 8-14 was National Women’s Health Week. Dr. Brett Stark of Auburn Foot Care Center hopes to encourage more women to assess their health. Of course, he’s thinking about women’s foot health.
While we can often forget our feet, the toes know. There are many ways to spot other health concerns by looking down. What will you do this month to take control of your foot health? Here is how we can support you.
Schedule an appointment
We make it easy to schedule an appointment, so contact us when you are ready for a foot check. If it has been a while or if it is your first visit, we are ready to welcome you. Get to know the podiatrist in your neighborhood. We help with prevention and treatment.
How we can help:
A podiatrist is an expert in foot and ankle conditions. Receive an expert diagnosis of your foot pain. Also, learn ways to prevent common foot conditions.
Wear the right shoes
It can be tempting to wear your favorite pair of shoes because of how they look. Here’s the most important question: How do they feel? If you are walking around in uncomfortable shoes, you are causing more harm than good to your feet and ankles.
How we can help:
A podiatrist can help you better understand your feet. Are they wide or narrow? Do you have low arches? Could custom orthotics help with your next steps?
Address the issues
Now is the time to pay attention to your foot changes. We know that life demands much of our time, but our health is important. We encourage you to take action if you experience pain or notice skin changes.
How we can help:
A podiatrist is skilled to find the solution. Starting a conversation early can help you and your podiatrist create a treatment plan. Good communication is also a tool to help prevent future problems.
