Your feet work hard for you—so why is it so hard to know when they need professional help? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Rindlisbacher to demystify one of the most overlooked areas of health: your feet and ankles.
We’ll tackle the questions everyone wonders but rarely asks. Do you really need a referral before seeing a podiatrist? What everyday habits can help prevent foot and ankle problems? And how do you know when that persistent soreness is just normal wear-and-tear—or a red flag worth checking out?
You’ll learn the early signs of foot issues you shouldn’t ignore, what symptoms might signal a deeper health condition, and why people with diabetes need regular, proactive foot care. We’ll also break down what actually determines whether a condition becomes surgical, how often surgery is truly needed (hint: it’s less than most people think), and the unique advantages of seeing a podiatrist who’s also trained as a surgeon.
Whether you're dealing with nagging pain, chronic conditions, sports injuries—or just want to stay on your feet for the long run—this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been looking for.
Step in. Your feet will thank you. ??
