"Taking care of your feet is one of the best things you can do for yourself," says Dr. Velimir Petkov, emphasizing the foundational role of foot health in overall well-being. Regular visits to a podiatrist can detect potential issues early, particularly for those with diabetes, who may require more frequent check-ups due to their condition.
Dr. Petkov emphasizes, "The frequency of your visits will depend on your lifestyle, activity levels, and whether you are diabetic." He highlights that, for diabetics, visits may occur more than once a year, as regular monitoring can help prevent serious complications.
When preparing for your first appointment, Dr. Petkov advises bringing a list of your symptoms and questions. "Writing your questions will help you remember to address them with your podiatrist", ensuring that all concerns are discussed thoroughly during the consultation.
To maintain healthy feet, Dr. Petkov suggests routine self-care: "Wash them regularly and inspect them afterwards. If you notice any discomfort or irregularities like blisters or redness, visit your podiatrist promptly to address these issues before they escalate."
