Podiatry Arena

We seem to be currently growing at around 100 new members a month.  We have just passed the 3320 posts mark! (500 more than last month!) - just look below at the list of the most recent threads and the quality of the information.

We now have an Introductions forum for new members to be welcomed and to overcome that "first post fear" that some have. PLEASE stop by to welcome them.
