Learning More About Podiatrist Care

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.
