Vitamins and minerals are an important component to a person’s overall health and in some cases can help to manage certain disease states, such as arthritis. At Foot & Ankle Center of Iowa, we believe in supplying the purest and highest quality supplements to our patients. We partner with EBM Medical to be able to provide these conveniently to you in our office.
