Help Relieve Foot Pain

Foot pain that is brought on by too much stress on the feet, such as with jobs that require a lot of walking, for athletes and those who exercise regularly, or anyone carrying around extra weight. If any of these apply to you then it's a good idea to visit your podiatrist on a regular basis.

Treat Underlying Foot Conditions

It's also a good idea to make regular visits if you suffer from a foot condition that makes foot problems more likely. Conditions such as arthritis can happen naturally as your joints begin to wear. Or if your arches are either too low or too high, either could affect how well your feet can support you and can lead to problems like heel pain. Your podiatrist can prescribe custom-made orthotics to bridge the gap in support and could even suggest surgery to correct your condition if non-invasive approaches do not work.

Diabetes
