Be a Foot Health advocate! April is National Foot Health Month.

April is National Foot Health Awareness Month. Want to support the podiatry profession and the patients we serve? Participate in our eAdvocacy campaign to urge your member of Congress to cosponsor H.R. 7905/S. 4070, the Diabetes Foot Health Access and Modernization Act. This bipartisan, bicameral legislation would reduce Medicare documentation burdens for therapeutic shoes and establish Medicaid coverage parity for podiatrists. Separate sign-on letter templates are available for patients, students, and practicing physicians! https://apma.quorum.us/issue/116772/

No tricks here…

It may be April Fools’ Day, but this is no joke:Wearing supportive shoes inside your home can make a BIG difference in your foot health.

Walking barefoot on hard floors may feel natural, but it can:• Strain your joints• Worsen heel pain• Aggravate plantar fasciitis• Lead to long-term foot problems

If you’re dealing with foot pain, give your feet the support they deserve even at home.

Corns and calluses are your body’s way of saying something isn’t right. They often develop from chronic pressure or friction caused by ill-fitting shoes, foot deformities, or abnormal walking mechanics. Tip: Treat the cause, not just the symptom. See your podiatrist and avoid picking at corns at home.

While usually harmless, persistent corns or calluses can signal serious health risks—especially for those with diabetes or poor circulation. Ignoring them may lead to infections, ulcers, or significant discomfort.
