April is Foot Health Awareness Month a great reminder that our feet truly are the foundation of our bodies. Keeping them healthy is essential for overall wellness and staying active. Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, ligaments, and tendons, all working together to support our weight, maintain balance, and keep us moving comfortably.
Dr. Nalamlieng and Dr. Daigre understand that healthy feet play a vital role in a healthy body and they’re committed to helping you stay on your feet and feeling your best.

Pickleball Injuries and How to Prevent Them

Pickleball – a hybrid of tennis, badminton, and ping pong – is the fastest growing sport in the country, with participation jumping nearly 10% in one year alone. While the 3.5 million Americans who play pickleball are about one-tenth the number who play golf and one-fifth the number who play tennis, the sport continues to grow as a fun way to get exercise and socialize. It’s easier to learn than tennis and faster – and less expensive – than golf.
But like all sports, pickleball is an opportunity for potential injury as well, especially since about 25% of players are age 65 or older. It’s important to be aware of potential injuries and plan accordingly.
As with any sport, it’s important to warm up before every pickleball game or practice. Schedule at least 5 to 10 minutes for warm-up, starting with some easy cardio (a quick walk, jog, or bike ride around the courts should do it) to get your core temperature up. Then, do some light stretching. After play, be sure to cool down by taking a slow walk and doing a bit of stretching too.
