Foot/Ankle Pain

Feet and Ankles: Stability and Support for your body

At some point during our lives, research shows that we all will suffer from various foot and leg pain that will affect us in some way.

From the time we start standing on our feet and learn to walk, our feet endure three imperative tasks: they stabilize your body while weight bearing, walk, or run; they support you in moving from point A to point B; and they help guard your bones and connective tissues from harmful shock stress as you move. Being overweight, having anatomical defects in the foot or leg which are minor, or suffering injuries will all contribute to added stress to the foot and body. So even though twenty five percent of all bones in your body are in your feet, having to achieve these demanding tasks on a daily basis may (and usually does) lead to various foot, leg or ankle pain and dysfunction or other musculoskeletal condition.
