While the holidays are a joyous time, they can be tough on your feet. That’s why it’s important for everyone to pay more attention to their feet in December.

The holidays are a mad, wonderful rush of shopping, gatherings and celebrations. Want to enjoy all the festivities, without any foot pain? Check out our Westfield podiatrist’s rules for keep your feet happy and healthy this holiday season. 

All year long, women deal with more foot problems than men. But when summer turns to fall, the problems get worse as feet high heel pain rises. Why is that the case? During the spring and summer, athletic shoes and open-toed sandals are a favorite footwear choice.

We spend our whole lives on our feet, so it’s important to focus on footcare for seniors—all that pressure adds up as we age.

Elderly feet are at higher risk for several painful foot conditions. Luckily, we can prevent or manage many age-related concerns, as long as you come in for regular visits with our Westfield, IN podiatrist

May is a busy month here in Hamilton County and the surrounding areas, so we want to make sure foot pain won’t slow you down. This is the month of graduations, when we get to enjoy the Indianapolis 500 and the AES 500 parade and when we trade shoes for sandals, pool days and the fun and fireworks of the Memorial Day weekend.

February is officially the month of love, and here in our Westfield, IN podiatry office, we want to shower your feet with affection, too.

The new year is a great time to buy new athletic shoes. Sneakers have a shelf life of about 300 miles, and they need replacing every six months or so. And, if you buy them now, you can take advantage of sales, and have an easy way to remember when your purchase needs replacing.

Smoking is a dangerous habit that hurts your entire body, including your feet. Now, if you have diabetes, smoking becomes even more dangerous, taking an extreme toll on your heart health and circulatory system.

While February 14th gets the love focus this month, your feet could use it all month (and year) long! Now, your feet don’t need flowers or chocolates. So, what do they want?
