Understanding the Foot and Ankle
We use our feet daily to work and take walks with family and furry-friends, but how much do we know about the two things that walk us through life? Our feet make up 25% of our total amount of bones in our body with 26 bones in each foot and contain more than one hundred muscles, ligaments and tendons. If something harms even one of these many parts it can cause pain and affect mobility and balance.
Three out of four Americans experience serious foot problems in their lifetime. However, patients often tend to forget about the conditions of their feet and don’t seek preventative treatment for overall foot health. Many times patients only see a specialist after problems occur.
With regular foot care, patients can potentially prevent foot and ankle problems from developing. This is vastly important because the feet reflect overall health. An ailment in the feet can be the first sign of more serious medical issues, such as arthritis or diabetes.
