Healthy feet and ankles matter at every age—from kids and student athletes to active adults and seniors. But exercise, repetitive movement, improper footwear, and changes in activity intensity can all contribute to pain, injury, and decreased performance. The good news? You don’t have to simply put up with foot and ankle pain. Seeing a podiatrist who specializes in these issues can make all the difference.

Join board-certified foot and ankle specialist Dr. Ronald Gomez of Community Care Regional Podiatry and Surgery for a practical discussion about common foot and ankle concerns, including:

• How exercise type and intensity can affect your risk of injury
• Different foot types and how to identify yours
• Choosing the right footwear for your feet and activities
• Preventing and treating toenail trauma and fungal infections
• Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis
• General tendon injuries and why they may heal more slowly than bone fractures
• Ankle sprains, shin splints, stress fractures, and other common exercise-related injuries

Dr. Gomez will explain how these conditions develop, how they are diagnosed and treated, and what you can do to support recovery, prevent reinjury, and remain active safely.

This webinar is especially helpful for:

• Parents of student athletes
• Runners and competitive athletes
• Active adults and seniors
• Anyone experiencing recurring foot or ankle discomfort
