“Your feet are the foundation of your body”
The article by National Geographic discusses the importance of good choice of footwear to prevent or lessen the impact of bunions, callouses, corns and toenail issues.
Additionally, ill-fitting and unsupportive footwear can be the cause of chronic ankle, knee and back pain.
The article recommendations include consulting with a podiatrist to discuss prevention of pain, gait analysis and treatment options as well as custom orthotics even if pain isn’t present.
“While over-the-counter inserts can help in mild cases, custom orthotics are molded to your foot’s unique shape and movement pattern, making them more effective for correcting imbalances that lead to chronic pain.”
