Do
your feet hurt when you first get out of bed in the
morning or at the end of the day? Do you have pain
after standing for a long time or after you have done
athletic activity?

| Are you or a family member
Diabetic?
 "Care of your feet is critical if you are
diabetic," says Mark McDonald, MPT, Cped. "Diabetes
results in poor circulation with healing, foot deformity
and decreased sensation in the foot." He states that
these problems can lead to callusing with ulcers that,
without proper shoe wear with orthotic support, can lead
to amputation.
Toetally Feet, a shoe
store featuring Custom Shoes and Orthotics is now open
in Camp Hill.
