Your favorite spring walking shoes might look fresh out of the box, but do they still have your back (and your feet)? 👟

It’s Foot Health Awareness Month, and we want to let you in on a little secret: shoes have a “hidden” expiration date. Even if they aren’t covered in mud, the internal support can break down over time, leading to unnecessary aches and pains.

Not sure if it’s time for a new pair? Here are 3 quick signs to look for:
1. Uneven wear on the sole.
2. The "Tilt Test": Place them on a flat surface: do they lean to one side?
3. New aches in your feet, shins, or knees after a walk.

Swapping out old shoes for fresh support is one of the easiest ways to prevent injuries like plantar fasciitis or tendonitis.

Take a peek at your soles today! If your feet are still feeling sore even with new kicks, give us a call at Family Foot & Ankle Physicians. We’re here to keep you moving comfortably!

Did you know your feet are often the first place to show signs of systemic health issues? It’s true: your foot health is a direct window into your overall wellness! 🦶✨

April is Foot Health Awareness Month, and we’re highlighting "The Lifespan Link." Regular podiatric care is about so much more than just comfort; it’s linked to greater longevity and reduced mortality, especially for those managing chronic conditions like diabetes.

When you visit us at Family Foot & Ankle Physicians, we aren't just treating a symptom. We’re looking out for your whole health. Keeping you mobile, active, and pain-free is a major key to a longer, higher quality of life.

Whether it's a routine check-up or a specific concern, we're here to help you stay on your feet and moving forward. Give us a call today to schedule your wellness check and make sure your foundation is as healthy as it can be!

For our patients living with diabetes, a small daily habit can make a huge difference in your long-term health: the Daily Mirror Check. 🪞👣

Because diabetes can sometimes lead to reduced sensation in your feet, you might not always feel a small cut, blister, or sore. That’s where your eyes (and a mirror!) come in.

Every morning or before bed, take a look at the bottoms of your feet. If you have trouble reaching, simply place a mirror on the floor to get a clear view. You’re looking for:
✅ Redness or swelling
✅ Any new cuts or blisters
✅ Changes in skin temperature

Catching these small things early is the key to preventing serious complications. 🩺✨

If you notice anything unusual, give us a call! Your health and mobility are our top priorities here at Family Foot & Ankle Physicians.

April is Foot Health Awareness Month! 👣✨ To celebrate, we’re challenging all our Greenville and Eastern NC patients to the 30-Second Foot Check.

It only takes half a minute, but it can make a world of difference for your long-term health. Grab a seat, take off your socks, and look for these 4 red flags:

1️⃣ Discoloration: Any unusual redness, bruising, or pale patches.
2️⃣ Slow-Healing Sores: Small cuts or cracks that just won’t seem to close up.
3️⃣ Nail Changes: Thicker, brittle, or yellowing toenails.
4️⃣ Persistent Swelling: Puffiness that doesn't go away after a good night's rest.

If you spot anything that doesn't look quite right, don't ignore it! Your feet are your foundation, and we're here to help you keep them strong.

Give us a call or visit our website to schedule a check-up. Let’s make this your healthiest month yet! 🩺👣

We had an incredible day at the 24th Annual Winning with Diabetes Conference right here in Greenville!

Dr. Amy Pitzer and our Lead Medical Assistant, Cinthya, were hard at work today performing foot exams and sharing essential tips on diabetic foot health. It’s always so rewarding to connect with our community and help ensure everyone is staying healthy and active.

A huge thank you to the nursing students from Pitt Community College who joined us to help out! Your energy and support made the day even better, and we loved working alongside the next generation of healthcare pros.

Remember, regular foot exams are a game-changer when it comes to managing diabetes. If you weren't able to make it out today, feel free to reach out to the office to schedule your checkup. We're here to help you keep your best foot forward!

The basketball fever in Greenville right now is unmatched! 🏀 Whether you're hitting the court at our local parks or playing in a league, the last thing you want is to be stuck on the sidelines with a twisted ankle or a nagging Achilles.

Spring sports season is in full swing, and we want to keep you in the game. Here are a few quick tips to protect your feet and ankles:
✅ Don’t skip the warm-up! Stretching those calves is key for your Achilles health.
✅ Check your kicks – if your soles are worn out, your support is too.
✅ Listen to your body. A little soreness is normal, but sharp pain is a signal to stop and get it checked.

We love seeing our Greenville athletes stay active and healthy. If a jump or a pivot didn't go quite as planned, our team at Family Foot & Ankle Physicians is here to help you get back on the court fast with professional, compassionate care.

Stay safe out there and enjoy the game! 👟🔥
