About Me
Hello, my name is Janessa. As a runner, I often have problems with the health of my feet. Although I choose supportive shoes designed for intense exercise activities, running wreaks havoc on my legs and feet. After a long run, I often have to soak my feet to avoid painful cramps in the arches. I also suffer hairline fractures often due to the walk my stride makes my feet hit the pavement. I work closely with a podiatrist to keep my feet as healthy as possible. On this site, I will explore all of the conditions podiatrists treat. Thank you.

Nail Care Tips Every Diabetic Should Know About
If you have diabetes, how you care for your feet is going to differ from someone that doesn't have diabetes. Your feet have to be protected to prevent issues such as nerve damage, infections and even amputation. If you have issues with your feet at all as a diabetic, you should seek treatment from your podiatrist. Even simple tasks such as taking care of your nails and having them trimmed needs to be done with special care and attention.
