The ability to walk comfortably is critical to a fulfilling life. Feet are definitely one area of the body that deserves special care. Of all the parts of our anatomy, our feet endure the most abuse as we walk, run and go about our daily lives.

The average person takes about 8,000 to 10,000 steps every day. Add that up over the course of a lifetime and it's the equivalent of walking four times around the world!

Your feet often endure more than your body weight with each step. When you run, the pressure can be three or four times your weight. A child's feet may absorb one million kilograms of pressure over the course of a single day.

That's why it's so important to have your podiatrist check your feet regularly, the same way a dentist regularly checks your teeth or an optician checking your eyes.

What is a podiatrist?

A Podiatrist (formerly known as a chiropodist) is trained to assess, diagnose and treat abnormalities, ailments and disorders of the feet and lower limbs. They educate their patients about the prevention of foot problems and their foot health needs. Patients can be of all ages from infants to elderly.

Podiatrists treat common skin ailments such as athlete's foot, corns, cracked heels and toenail problems. They also treat foot imbalances and bone deformities and can recognize the initial symptoms of serious diseases such as arthritis, diabetes and circulatory disorders, which often appear first in the feet.
