Men’s Health Week

Nearly 75 percent of people report at least one foot ailment a year—and that’s whether you’re an athlete or not, reports research from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Typically women suffer more foot pain than men primarily as a result of the type of shoes they wear however there are certain foot problems that will affect men more than women. On top of that men are more prone to ignoring pain hoping it will go away. Men also may not take care of their feet as routinely as women do. As a part of Men’s Health Week, I would like to highlight a few common foot problems that affect men and boys. _{Photo Credit: James Baldwin}
