Don’t wait! If you notice a skin change, make an appointment. With the hot weather infections move faster!

June is Wound Healing Awareness Month! 👣

Doctors of Podiatric Medicine are experts in slow-to-heal wounds and diabetic foot ulcers.

Anyone who has diabetes can develop a foot ulcer. Ulcers form due to a combination of factors, including a lack of sensation in the foot, poor circulation, foot deformities, irritation (such as friction or pressure), trauma, and the duration of diabetes. These wounds can lead to complications, including infection and amputation.

The good news? If you have a foot ulcer, Doctors of Podiatric Medicine can help! Our members work every day to treat foot wounds, which reduces the risk of infection, reduces healthcare costs, and improves the quality of life for Ohioans. Thank you for all you do, OHFAMA members! 👣

If having problems give us a call!

Did you know April 16 was National Bunion Day?

A bunion is a "bump" at the base of the big toe that forms when the bone or tissue at the big toe —the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint—moves out of place. Because this joint carries a lot of the body's weight while walking, bunions can cause extreme pain if left untreated.

The good news? This common condition can be treated! As an expert in foot and ankle conditions, podiatrists are uniquely qualified to help get you back on your feet.

We are proud to be the professional home for Ohio's podiatric physicians. 👣💪Find a podiatrist near you: https://members.apma.org/members/FindPodiatrist

APMA applauds MedPAC for recommending that Congress link Medicare physician payment to inflation. Physicians need an automatic, annual update to reflect the skyrocketing costs of operating a practice! Physician payment has dropped by 33% since 2001, adjusting for inflation, putting patient access to care in jeopardy.
