Back by popular demand, learn more about foot pain and other foot complaints on Wednesday, Aug. 26, from 6:30 – 8 p.m. in Backus Hospital’s entry level conference rooms.

Dr. Eric Levine, a podiatrist on the Backus Medical Staff, will talk about what people can do ahead of time to avoid pain, which over-the-counter remedies might help and when to see a podiatrist. He'll also discuss how to treat a sprained or twisted ankle, arthritic pain in the foot, and diabetes-related foot problems. The event is free but registration is requested by calling 823-6313.

E-mail your questions about foot pain to Dr. Levine at questions@americanpodiatry.com which he will answer at the event.

The event is a return engagement in the monthly series "Speaking of Your Health: Head to Toe" sponsored by the Backus Nursing and Community Health Education Department. The next community lecture series, "Family Matters," will begin in September. Stay tuned for details.
