In addition to being World Foot Health Awareness month abroad, May is National Arthritis Month here in the United States, according to the Arthritis Foundation. The Foundation aims to increase awareness of arthritis itself, as well as prevention and treatment.
Arthritis takes many forms, but commonly affects the feet and ankles. It can present itself with a number of symptoms, including pain, stiffness and swelling. Because of this, arthritis can make even walking and movement difficult.
In honor of National Arthritis Month, a number of Arthritis Awareness Walks are going on across the country. To find out about a walk near you, visit the Arthritis Foundation’s website.
When confronted with arthritis of the foot and ankle, only a licensed podiatrist like those at East Ocean Podiatry can help you develop a proper course of treatment. If you would like to schedule an appointment at East Ocean Podiatry, contact us today.
