It's all about taking the appropriate action and taking it at the right time. No point waiting to do it later in life, when actually there may be some irreparable damage, some problems which will have developed as a result of it.
Ever thought about how important your feet are? In this episode of the Foot Health Show on UK Health Radio, podiatrist Peter Allton brings his 30 years of experience to the table, sharing invaluable tips to keep your feet in top shape. Peter, the clinical director of Circle Podiatry, has seen it all, treating over a quarter million foot and leg complaints.
He’s here to tell you why taking care of your feet is crucial and how to prevent common issues before they become serious problems. Peter dives into common foot woes like thickened nails and athlete's foot, offering practical advice on why you should see a professional podiatrist for treatment.

The episode goes beyond basic foot care tips, touching on the importance of foot sensation, particularly for those with diabetes. Peter stresses that if you have diabetes, monitoring your foot sensation is vital. He advises seeing a podiatrist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to avoid complications. Peter’s tips don’t stop there.
He talks about the best over-the-counter remedies for athlete's foot, the importance of wearing the right footwear, and investing in shoes that fit well. He encourages everyone to be proactive about foot care, especially if you're active or have existing health conditions. Wrapping up the episode, Peter wishes everyone a happy holiday season and a fantastic year ahead.
