Importance of Podiatry and Foot Care for a Better Life
We probably don't often think about the 'role' of our feet in our daily lives but, let's face it, without them we would be in big trouble! Consider just how many hours of the day your trusty feet are there, standing, walking, rushing, driving your car - every part of your life involves your two healthy feet.
The minute something gives way with them, you are probably really astonished.
How come my feet are finally letting me down? Podiatrists are continually surprised themselves at how little thought the average person gives to the care and attention of their feet.
Imagine, our feet and lower legs bear the lion's share of our body weight on a daily basis and stand up to this stress day after day.
Eventually, for many people, this pressure can result in some form or other of a podiatry problem.
The good news is that the modern day podiatrist is well equipped to deal with the myriad of problems presented to them on a daily basis.
When you consider the lower legs and feet take the full weight of the human body for many hours a day and yet the feet consist of dozens of delicate and tiny bones which are connected by ligaments and nerves through the entire length of the legs.
Imagine all these tiny parts work together to provide a structure that supports the entire weight of the human body for the duration of its natural life - it's truly amazing.
So what is not amazing is that things can, and do, go wrong and the importance of the field of podiatry cannot be overemphasised.
What you may not realise is that other problems you are experiencing can be traced back to your feet, for instance lower back pain, knee problems etc.
Attending a podiatry clinic on a regular basis will help you to understand the stresses and strains put on your feet and lower legs on a daily basis.
Your friendly podiatrist will explain ways that you can avoid back pain and other associated problems by looking after your feet.
Podiatrist will undertake a biomechanical assessment which is also known as GaitScan.
It uses up-to-date podiatric knowledge with leading technology to assess/identify the underlying causes of common foot problems.
Sounds crazy? Make an appointment to visit your local podiatrist as soon as possible so that you can avoid real problems in the future.
