The Importance Of Foot Health Increases As You Age

Over our lifetime, your feet will carry you more than 216 million steps, or more than 100,000 miles. That’s a lot of time spent on your feet and, as you age, it becomes more important than ever to take good care of them. People unable to move about suffer numerous physical, psychological, and social afflictions as a result, or indirect result, of foot dysfunction.  It is not simply how they look, but how they work that matters most.

 

Wearing poorly fitting shoes can cause corns, calluses, blisters, ingrown toenails, and even sprains and strains. Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin resulting from abnormal pressure or rubbing.  They are not the problem, but rather the result of abnormal foot structure or function. 

 

The award-winning, expert podiatrists at Advanced Podiatry of Manhasset, Huntington, Maspeth, Plainview, Coram, Mineola, and Williston Park will be happy to evaluate your feet and recommend the appropriate preventive andor therapeutic treatment for you. Remember - "One pair must last a lifetime!!!"
