Although they don’t seem like it, feet are a delicate part of your body. Most people don’t realize the beating their feet take each day or that they’re doing certain things that can cause damage to your feet without realizing. Even minuscule details, such as the types of socks and shoes you wear, can have serious consequences when it comes to your foot health. Take a look at some common dangers to protect your feet from.
Time and time again we treat patients with long-term heel pain who thought that there wasn’t any treatment for permanent relief.

So what can be done for a patient who suffers from chronic heel pain with no relief from typical treatment methods? Simply put: schedule a consultation with a podiatrist.
Doctors Laha, Hall, and Phillips at Kansas City Foot Specialists are ready to pick up where your primary care doctor or home treatment fell short. Our doctors have been able to offer many patients a significant improvement and long-term relief for their chronic heel pain.
Most people are wearing shoes that look better than they feel or fit. Properly fitting shoes are the first and easiest step towards relieving your persistent foot, leg, or back pain. With care, you can easily have both fashion and function. In order to select properly fitting shoes, you must first pay attention to three key fit areas when trying on shoes.
