Celebrate National Foot Health Awareness Month

Every April, we observe Foot Health Awareness Month—a time to shine a spotlight on one of the most vital (and often overlooked) parts of the body. Your feet and ankles are the foundation of your movement, supporting you through thousands of steps each day. At The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center (OFAC), located in Arlington and Falls Church, Virginia, we’re proud to help our community step confidently into better health with expert foot and ankle care. 

Why Foot and Ankle Health Matters 

Foot and ankle issues affect people of all ages and activity levels. Whether you’re walking the dog, training for a marathon, or simply standing at work, your lower limbs are constantly under pressure. When pain, stiffness, or injury sets in, it can quickly limit your mobility and quality of life. 

Common conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, bunions, and arthritis are often progressive—meaning the sooner you seek care, the better the outcome. At OFAC, we’re dedicated to early diagnosis, advanced treatment, and long-term support for all types of foot and ankle problems. 

Our Expert Services in Northern Virginia 

Our team of board-certified orthopaedic surgeons and podiatrists work together to offer personalized care tailored to your needs. Some of the services and treatments we provide include: 

  • Evaluation and treatment of foot and ankle pain 
  • Advanced imaging and diagnostic tools 
  • Same-day custom orthotics made in-house 
  • Bracing and durable medical equipment (DME) 
  • Wound care and diabetic foot management 
  • Sports injury evaluation and treatment 
  • Minimally invasive and reconstructive surgery 
  • On-site physical therapy and rehabilitation 

We believe in convenience and continuity of care. That’s why we offer comprehensive services under one roof, so you can get everything you need in one visit—from diagnosis to treatment. 

5 Foot Care Tips to Follow This April 

April is a great time to check in on your foot health. Here are a few tips to help you take care of your feet this spring: 

  1. Inspect Your Feet Daily – Look for cuts, swelling, or any changes in skin or nail color—especially if you have diabetes.

  2. Wear Supportive Footwear – Swap out worn shoes for supportive options with good arch support and cushioning.

  3. Stretch Your Feet and Ankles – Regular stretching improves flexibility and reduces risk of injury.

  4. Moisturize and Protect – Keep your skin hydrated to avoid cracks, and always wear socks and shoes when walking outside.

  5. Don’t Ignore Pain – Persistent foot or ankle pain is not normal. If you’re hurting, it’s time to get evaluated.
