Feet: checklist for foot health

Here is a list of quick questions compiled by the Australasian Podiatry Council to help you check the health of your feet.

  1. Do you have pain in your feet?
  2. Are you on your feet all day?
  3. Do you have skin or nail problems (ingrown or discoloured toenails, corns, skin rashes, areas of hard skin) on your feet?
  4. Do you have any sores on your feet that are not healing?
  5. Do you have foot odour?
  6. Do you have a foot injury?
  7. Do you have health problems such as diabetes or arthritis?
  8. Do you trip or fall often?
  9. Do you have problems finding shoes that fit comfortably?
  10. Do you have lumps or bumps, bunions or misshapen toes?
  11. Do you regularly wear heels that are 5 cm (2 inches) or higher?

 

If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, the Australasian Podiatry Council recommends that you see a podiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
