Présentation de l'éditeur

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is especially true for our feet. As the baby-boomers reach the wear-and-tear stage of life, they are finding that foot problems can seriously impede their mobility and put a major cramp in their lifestyle. In this all-inclusive guide, Glenn Copeland, a leading podiatrist known throughout North America as The Foot Doctor, provides the latest information and medical advice on both preventing and curing foot problems. The Good Foot Book includes indispensable information on foot anatomy and biomechanics, systemic disorders and nail and dermatological problems. It covers every foot problem imaginable: bunions, hammer toes, corns, calluses and warts, foot skin problems, and the problems faced by diabetics, seniors, and athletes. Included are a chapter on choosing proper footwear, advice on when to seek professional help, and how to avoid unnecessary cortisone shots. Copeland provides information on the latest diagnostic and treatment procedures, including ankle replacement surgery. A specialist in computerised orthotics for over 50 different conditions, his book is the first to explain orthotic foot therapy and what it can do for the feet and the whole body. This book is essential reading for aging baby boomers, their families, diabetics, athletes and caregivers.
