Spring 2009 - Foot Health Awareness Month Print E-mail
The American Podiatric Medical Association wants everyone to think feet - especially during the spring! During the month of April, officially deemed "Foot Health Awareness Month," it's vital to remember the importance of good foot and ankle care. This is a time for all Americans to stop and take a good look at their feet. 

This year's campaign focuses on heel pain, and a podiatrist's important role in diagnosing and treating this widespread condition. Did you know that nearly 40 percent of Americans revealed foot pain has inhibited them from performing life’s daily activities? Foot pain is never normal. If you experience foot pain, see an APMA podiatric physician.
