Summer is a time to let loose and relax. But you don’t want to get too carefree, and forget all about your foot health. Why? Make the wrong choices this summer, and you’ll be living with pain or infections by the time September rolls around. Want to stay safe? Just keep reading, and our Westfield podiatrist will tell you all the summer foot hazards to avoid this season!

In honor of Men’s Health Month and Father’s Day, we want to discuss an area of the body that is often overlooked by men: their feet! Unfortunately, men tend to ignore their health unless there’s an emergency. And, when it comes to your foot health, problems often develop slowly.

As we mark National Women’s Health Week, we need to focus on women’s feet. Because now, more than ever, women’s feet need extra care. After all, you spend hours on your feet, caring for everyone, and you often do it in shoes that aren’t crafted for comfort.
