IL Podiatrist Discusses Hard-Working Farmers’ Feet

 

“The feet are your foundation for good health,” said Dr. John Sigle, founder and owner of the Foot & Ankle Center of Illinois and Illinois Laser Center. “Healthy feet are a prescription for good health because they allow us to stay active, give us stability, and help our balance. “Unfortunately, taking care of the feet and ankles is often the furthest thing from our minds, but it should take a high priority.”

Sigle pointed out that over the years, farmers may abuse their feet while assuming they will continue to work day after day, able to withstand the rigors of daily pounding.
