Step Into Wellness: Celebrating Women’s Health Month Through Podiatry

May is Women’s Health Month—a time dedicated to empowering women to make health a priority. While other areas of women’s health and wellness often take center stage, one crucial area is often overlooked: foot health. Your feet are the foundation of your body, and when they’re not functioning properly, it can affect everything from mobility to posture to overall well-being.

Below, CarePlus Foot & Ankle Specialists dives into the importance of putting a focus on foot health for Women’s Health Month.

Why Foot Health Matters for Women

Women are more likely than men to suffer from common foot issues like bunions, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and neuromas. These problems often stem from biomechanics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, and even footwear choices like high heels or narrow shoes.

Ignoring foot pain doesn’t just limit your lifestyle—it can lead to chronic conditions and negatively impact your knees, hips, and back. A visit to a podiatrist can help diagnose underlying problems and create a personalized treatment plan that may include custom orthotics, physical therapy, or minimally invasive procedures.
