Clinic highlights the connection between mobility, independence, and quality of life while calling for more proactive care

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2025 / Gelbmann Podiatry is using its platform to raise awareness about the importance of foot health and its direct impact on overall well-being. In the recent feature "Finding Inspiration in Every Step: A Q&A with Gelbmann Podiatry," the practice shared stories of patients whose lives were transformed when they regained mobility.

"Mobility is freedom," Gelbmann Podiatry said. "When someone can walk without pain again, it restores confidence, independence, and even identity. We see it every day in our patients."

The urgency is clear. According to the National Institutes of Health, over 75% of Americans experience foot pain at some point in their lives, yet many delay treatment. Studies show untreated foot and ankle issues can lead to reduced activity, higher rates of obesity, and even increased risk of falls in older adults.

One patient story illustrates the stakes: a teacher who once considered leaving her career because she couldn't stand all day was able to return to the classroom after treatment. "That moment reminded us that foot care isn't minor-it can change someone's life path," Gelbmann Podiatry noted.

What People Can Do Now
Gelbmann Podiatry encourages individuals to:

• Pay attention to early signs of foot pain instead of ignoring them.

• Seek professional care before problems become chronic.

• Stay active, maintain healthy weight, and choose supportive footwear.

"Every step matters," Gelbmann Podiatry said. "Taking care of your feet is taking care of your future."
