Indy Podiatry

Does the back of your heel hurt after a walk, run, or workout?

It could be Achilles tendinitis.

The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel bone and can become irritated from overuse, tight calf muscles, or a sudden increase in activity.

Common symptoms include:
👣 Pain at the back of the heel
👣 Stiffness in the morning
👣 Discomfort during or after exercise.

Ignoring it can make recovery take longer, so it's best to address symptoms early.

Happy Fourth of July Weekend!

Please note that Indy Podiatry will be closed on Friday, July 3rd for the Holiday Weekend.

Whether you're heading to a parade, cookout, or fireworks show, don't forget to take care of your feet while you're celebrating!

We'll be back in the office on Monday. Have a safe and happy holiday!

That sharp pain with your first steps out of bed isn't normal.

One of the most common causes is plantar fasciitis, a condition we see regularly at Indy Podiatry.

Common symptoms include:
✔ Heel pain when you first wake up
✔ Pain after sitting for long periods
✔ Tenderness on the bottom of the heel.

The good news? Early treatment can often prevent heel pain from becoming a long-term problem.

Summer is here—and if you have diabetes, your feet deserve a little extra attention.

Warmer weather often means:
👣 Walking barefoot
🔥 Hot pavement
🩴 Sandals and flip-flops
🏖️ More time outside

For people with diabetes, even a small cut, blister, or burn can become a bigger problem if it goes unnoticed.

This summer:
✔️ Check your feet every day
✔️ Never walk barefoot outdoors
✔️ Wear shoes that fit properly
✔️ Protect your feet from hot surfaces
✔️ Contact your podiatrist if you notice a wound that isn't healing

Taking a minute each day to look at your feet can help keep you healthy and active all summer long.
