Once upon a spring morning in Buffalo, Minnesota, Anna laced up her walking shoes and stepped out.
Little did she know, her routine walk was about to take an unexpected turn.
What unfolded next was a journey towards understanding the importance of foot health, something often overlooked but crucial for our daily well-being.
Understanding the Importance of Foot Care
At Stellis Health, we believe in the power of prevention and the importance of taking care of your feet.
Why?
Because your feet are your foundation. They carry you through life’s journeys, big and small.
Quick and Easy Foot Care Routines
Keeping your feet healthy doesn’t have to be complicated.
A simple routine can go a long way in preventing common foot problems. Here’s what you can do:
- Regular Checks: A quick look at your feet daily for any signs of trouble. And, if you notice anything out of the ordinary, like pain or discomfort, don’t just shrug it off. It might be your feet telling you they need a bit more TLC or even a professional once-over.
- Moisturize: Keep those feet well-lubricated to avoid dry skin.
- Proper Footwear: Choose shoes that support and fit well.
“As a podiatrist at Stellis Health, I encourage everyone to take a moment to appreciate and care for their feet. Simple steps like proper footwear and regular check-ups can make a world of difference. Remember, taking care of your feet is not just about comfort; it’s about maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.”
– Mark D. Nelson, DPM, Stellis Health

What is Podiatry?
Podiatry is a branch of medicine focused on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. It includes managing conditions like bunions, heel pain, and diabetic foot ulcers, and extends to performing surgeries and prescribing therapies.
At Stellis Health, Dr. Michael O’Borsky and Dr. Mark Nelson specialize in podiatry, collaborating with other healthcare providers to offer comprehensive foot and ankle care.
They cater to a wide range of podiatric needs, ensuring patients in Buffalo and Monticello receive the best possible care for their foot and ankle issues.
