“Your Feet Never Go on Vacation”: MD Podiatrist

“Your feet never go on vacation. They are constantly working and never on holiday. The best travel insurance is healthy feet,” says podiatrist Dan Michaels, DPM. ”According to Dr. Michaels, a painful foot can ruin a $40,000 vacation even before it starts, so why aren’t people more pro-active when it comes to protecting the “Michelin tires” of the body?

“People often ignore and under-estimate how important the feet are, especially when going on vacations that often require a tremendous amount of walking and standing, climbing hills, and uneven terrain,” he says. “What baffles me is the patient who comes to see us, complaining of foot and ankle pain, the week or even the day before they are leaving on their voyage.”
