FEET ARE MOST NEGLECTED PARTS OF THE BODY

"Our feet are one of the most important parts of our body, yet they tend to be the most neglected! This month is the perfect time to get your feet back in shape," says Frederick Day, DPM, the only podiatrist in Northwest Arkansas board certified in both foot surgery and rearfoot reconstruction and ankle surgery.

Dr. Day goes on to explain that proper footwear, a healthy diet, and routine foot checks are a few things that help prevent wounds and protect the feet. "In the upcoming summer months, it's important to avoid walking barefoot in common areas like pools and locker rooms. You can contract many communicable diseases and wearing flip-flops or sandals allows a protective layer between you and the floor," Day said.
