In this article we will consider three reasons why we should go to the podiatrist:
1-Prevention
Podiatry helps us to prevent many health problems, not only foot pathologies, but also problems at the column, hip or knee level. Therefore, treating a bad footprint in time can help us prevent the appearance of other pathologies.
2-Children
3-Athletes
Increasingly, both professional and amateur sports require the optimization of performance, an immediate recovery of sports injury and at the same time its prevention. If we take into account that the foot is the main protagonist in the sports that the race, jump and balance intervenes; this gave it a primordial role as it is the anatomical element that is in contact with the ground and therefore the one that will suffer the most injuries. In addition, if we present poorly structured feet or a bad footprint, this will cause lesions to be transferred to higher structures, such as the knee, hip or back. That is why it is essential that athletes go to the podiatrist at least once a year.
