Your mobility matters to every aspect of your life, yet it’s easy to overlook just how crucial it is until you confront an issue that limits it in some way. And when it comes to movement as a whole, there’s one pair of parts that does more than anything else to balance out the rest of your body’s motion: Your feet! Mobility issues in the lower extremities can quickly become issues elsewhere, particularly the back, knees, and hips.

When chronic pain or other complications hamper movement, many people wait for quite some time before even seeking to address it. Worse, leaving mobility concerns to spiral unchecked means they’re likely to turn into long-term issues that are harder to solve or manage. This blog aims to correct that mistake before it takes place. Advanced Foot Care of NJ is going to take a deep dive into mobility concerns with the blog below. We hope it helps to encourage patients seeking treatment to get moving and address their long-term mobility and health!

Common Complications

Podiatrists understand better than most how critical it is to maintain and preserve mobility in patients.

Issues with mobility have been connected to weight gain, which itself has been shown to harm the joints and increase the likelihood of other complications.
Movement problems are also linked to diabetes, hypertension, depression, and heart disease.
Common activities like jogging, going for a walk with the dog, or playing a game of golf can become painful, inconvenient, or even impossible when mobility is compromised.

What A Podiatrist Can Do for You

A skilled DPM has plenty of tools and tricks for improving your mobility overall. Those might include:

Trimming and correcting ingrown toenails to help your footwear fit.
Resolving cases of plantar fasciitis.
Treating bunions or providing custom orthotics.

Healthy feet are, in many ways, the foundation for your overall wellness, so neglecting them will quickly impact both your body and mind. Stay active, stay mobile, and fitter feet will keep you healthy and happy for whatever comes next!
