Foot & Ankle

One fourth of all the bones in the human body are found in the feet and ankles – 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments per foot. The ankle joint allows the foot to move up and down as well as side to side, all in the name of bearing the entire weight of the body for standing, walking, and running. In fact, the average person will walk approximately 115,000 miles in his or her lifetime… which is equal to walking around the Earth more than four times! If you are experiencing foot or ankle pain, it is important that you visit a specialist to properly treat your injury.

With all of the stress and pressure we put on our feet, you might assume that some pain is normal – but it’s not. Up to two-thirds of people regularly complain of foot pain, and when your feet hurt, it seems like you hurt all over!
