Foot Anatomy
The foot is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles, and numerous tendons. These structures interact through the science of biomechanics which allows them to work in concert providing us proper balance and normal function. Accordingly with the above-mentioned complexity, it is not surprising that most people will experience some type of foot ailment during their lifetime. This can interfere with normal foot function and inhibit ambulation and decrease your quality of life.
The good news, we can help realign your foot posture through prescription inserts such as orthotics to help alleviate your symptoms. This often will provide the type of relief you have been looking for. However, in some patients when all conservative methods of treatment have been exhausted, surgical intervention will prove necessary.
