Since July, our newly strengthened advocacy team has led 100+ meetings with congressional offices, bringing podiatry’s priorities directly to Capitol Hill.

With the continued support of APMAPAC, APMA staff and members participated in 75+ events with members of Congress, educating health policy leaders on the issues that matter most to podiatric medicine. We closed out 2025 strong with a Diabetes Awareness Month Leadership Hill Day, where members of the Board of Trustees and Emerging Leaders Program met with lawmakers to highlight the critical role podiatrists play in diabetes care.

To every APMA member who showed up, spoke out, and advocated for our profession — thank you. Your voice is making a difference, and together we’re building momentum for the year ahead.

Travel-related foot and ankle swelling is common and usually benign, but it’s preventable. When you sit for long periods, blood and fluid pool in the lower extremities. Contributing factors include high salt intake, dehydration, and some medications.

Practical steps to recommend:
- Encourage movement: stand/walk every 30–60 minutes and perform ankle pumps during travel.
- Recommend graduated compression socks for long flights/drives.
- Advise hydration and reducing sodium intake before and during travel.

Refer for clinical evaluation if swelling is sudden, painful, asymmetric, or linked with cardiopulmonary symptoms.

Share with patients to help make travel healthier and more comfortable this holiday season!
