Your family doctor is best qualified to help you maintain good foot health. Certain systemic diseases such as diabetes and circulatory or kidney problems often first appear in the feet. At your annual physical, be sure to have the doctor take a good look at your feet and discuss any concerns you have about your feet, activities and footwear.
Your neighborhood Procare fit specialist can help you get the right footwear and the right fit for your feet-two essential steps in preventing foot problems from developing.
Doctors and their foot-care patients often find that having a trained professional at the shoe store completes the circle of care. Procare fit specialists ensure that your recovery isn't thwarted by inappropriate, ill-fitting shoes. They work with you and your doctor to enact the doctor's footwear recommendations and support them with exceptional fit.
