Understanding Causes of Foot Pain and Treatment Options
Your feet may take more abuse and may suffer more wear and tear than you realize; after all, they carry your entire weight with every step, and often get crushed into ill-fitting shoes with socks that keep them overly warm and which rub and chafe at the skin.

When Should a Person Visit a Podiatrist?
Your feet may be one of the last things you think about when it comes to your overall health and physical well being, but consider the pounding and abuse your feet go through every day, and especially when you're physically active, wear uncomfortable shoes, or stand all day. It's good to have your feet examined by a doctor at your regular checkups and other appointments, but note when it can be good to visit a podiatrist even between these visits.
Hi, my name is Julie, and in the past, I have been too embarrassed to wear sandals or flip flops to the beach. While all my friends had beautiful, silky smooth feet, I had crusty, dry and sometimes fungus-laden feet. My options seemed to be socks with sandals or avoiding the beach altogether. Since there was no way I was going to do either of those, I met with a podiatrist and launched on a journey to fix, protect and maintain my feet. Along the way, I learned a ton of facts, home remedies and foot protection strategies. I plan to include all of those ideas and more in this blog, and I hope the posts here help you.
