🧡 August is Psoriasis Action Month 💜

Psoriasis is more than just a skin condition, it’s a chronic, immune-mediated disease that affects approximately 125 million people worldwide. While it can cause red, scaly patches on the skin, it’s important to remember that psoriasis is not contagious.

This month, let’s raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and show support for those living with psoriasis. A little understanding and compassion can make a big difference.

✨ Know the facts.
✨ Support those affected.
✨ Help reduce the stigma.

Together, we can create a more informed and compassionate community.

Rapid Fire Foot Challenge 👣⚡

Three seconds to think of an association to the presented foot-related word… sounds easy, right? 😅

During our social evening at Alexander Keith’s in Nova Scotia at the CFPM Summer Seminar, participants put their foot knowledge to the test. The results? Lots of laughs, some quick thinking, and a few answers we definitely didn’t see coming!

What would have been your answer to the foot-related words?

🩹 June is Wound Care Awareness Month 🩹

Did you know that many serious foot complications can be prevented through early detection and proper wound care?

Chiropodists and Podiatrists play a critical role in helping patients prevent, assess, and manage foot wounds. Whether you are living with diabetes, poor circulation, neuropathy, or other risk factors, regular foot assessments can help identify problems before they become serious.

✔ Check your feet daily
✔ Never ignore cuts, blisters, or skin breakdown
✔ Wear properly fitting footwear
✔ Seek professional care early

Early intervention can help prevent infections, hospitalizations, and amputations while preserving mobility and quality of life.

This Wound Care Awareness Month, take a moment to prioritize your foot health and encourage your patients, family members, and community to do the same.

Healthy Feet. Better Lives.
