When was the last time you had your feet checked?

April is Foot Health Awareness Month, and your feet deserve more attention than they usually get! 👣

The good news? Many foot issues are preventable—or much easier to treat—when caught early.

Don’t wait until it hurts.

April is National Pickleball Month, and if you’ve spent even five minutes on a pickleball court lately, you know why it’s one of the fastest-growing sports in the country. It’s fun, social, and a fantastic way to stay active at any age. But at Mendoza Podiatry, we’re also seeing the other side of pickleball’s popularity: an increase in foot and ankle injuries.

Quick starts, sudden stops, and side-to-side movements can put extra stress on your feet and ankles. Common pickleball injuries include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains, and stress fractures. Many of these injuries happen when players wear the wrong shoes, increase activity too quickly, or try to “play through” early pain.

The good news? Most pickleball injuries are preventable. Wear proper court shoes with good support, stretch before and after playing, and listen to your body. Pain is a signal, not something to ignore.

If foot or ankle pain is keeping you off the court, we can help. Our goal is to keep you active, healthy, and playing the game you love—safely. Call 615.826.0941 to schedule an appointment.

Happy Pickleball Month—and we’ll see you on the court! 🟢🏓
