Have you heard about Today's Podiatrist?
There are 16,450 licensed podiatrists in the United States, 75% of whom are members of the American Podiatric Medical Association. The APMA has launched a new program to educate patients about who today's podiatrists are. This is especially important when 75% of all people will experience some kind of foot or ankle pain in their lifetime. Informed patients make informed decisions!
When you suffer from foot or ankle pain, it can sometimes be an indication of other, more serious problems throughout your entire body. Diabetes, arthritis, and nerve problems can be detected from foot problems.
Podiatrists are not just people who cut toenails or cut down callouses. Podiatrists are doctors, surgeons, and specialists who have years of training and experience. Podiatrists perform more foot and ankle surgeries than any other medical profession. Studies have found that diabetics who go to a podiatrist for their foot health greatly reduce their risk of amputation.
