Feet are a Mirror of Your Overall Health: MD Podiatrist

Dan Michaels, DPM is urging people not to neglect their feet as they can do much more than just be used for standing, walking, and running. If you pay enough attention, they can also be a huge indicator of your overall health. It turns out that your feet can show signs of many major undiagnosed health problems, including stroke, diabetes, heart disease, and melanoma. 

Signs of circulatory issues include observing a pronounced swelling in your feet or a mottled coloring – unusual patches, spots, or blotches. Dr. Michaels said, “Changes may occur in only one limb or in both. If you notice any changes in the size or color of your feet and ankles, then contact me.”
