Over the years, I have been impressed that so many parents recognize the importance of bringing their young children in to have their feet checked by a podiatrist. Moms and dads seem to know that adult problems with knees, ankles and feet often start at a very young age,and that they seem to want to help their kids avoid this. Bravo to them!

Here we are in a new year!  And with comes a few traditional New Year’s Resolutions.  Uugghh!

Why don’t we do something a little different this year?  Forget the mundane “Exercise more,” “Lose weight,” and “Clean out the garage” promises.  Let’s focus on your feet and their well being.  After all, if you have happy feet, then you can exercise more to lose the weight by cleaning out the garage!  Make sense?

Tis the season for holiday partying! Those dreary days of January and February will be here soon enough! It's great to see friends, spend relaxed time with co-workers and most of all, I feel like my wife and I enjoy more quality time alone while driving to and from all those parties! So as far as I'm concerned, bring it on!

Most of us who are old enough to get into a "PG-Rated" movie have experienced the pain and indignity of a sprained ankle or foot. It often happens when we are rushing about or engaging in sports, and it's usually a simple matter of your body going east while your foot goes west. Ouch!
