Hello all! Independence Day is less than a week away. No other time of the year do we go barefoot (or close to it) quite as often as in the heat of the summer. So for the month of July, we have decided to focus on feet and what ails them--foot pain, ankle pain, gait analyses, wearing the right shoes for your feet, and how all of this relates to your SPINE!
To jump start July as Foot Care Month in our office, we have chosen to partner with the Shoeman Project. This organization takes our old, worn out shoes and turns them into clean water! Check out www.shoemanwater.org for more details. Feel free to stop by any time during our office hours and drop off your old, worn-out and unwanted shoes of any kind!
We welcome anyone who donates shoes to our office to schedule a gait and shoewear analysis at NO CHARGE. This is a great injury prevention-type screening for young athletes or for older inviduals concerned about posture and joint health. Karen and Keshia will be happy to get you on our schedule at a time that is convenient for you--(314) 353-4500.
Happy Independence Day!
