55 Millions Americans have foot problems each year
The average person walks 115,000 miles in a lifetime, so it’s not surprising that 55 million Americans experience one or more foot problems every year. Many of these individuals fail to seek medical advice early and develop more complicated foot conditions that can be severe and difficult to treat. One of the most common foot problems is heel pain. It is estimated that 15% of the adult population complains of heel pain, which includes one million runners who experience heel pain (plantar fasciitis) every year. The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons has stated that heel pain has reached epidemic proportions in weekend athletes. This common condition is typically ignored, especially by athletes. People tend to seek treatment only after the problem becomes severe and disabling. When foot health concerns are ignored, simple conditions can develop into more serious problems affecting the ankles, knees, hips or the back.
Dr. Christine Dobrowolski, has seen this happen repeatedly to the patients at her podiatry practice. In an attempt to help individuals with foot problems get started early on treatment, she wrote "Those Aching Feet". This book allows individuals to start treatment themselves and instructs them on when it’s time to seek advice from a physician.
