Cleveland Clinic

Your feet are composed of over 50 bones, 60 joints and 200 muscles, tendons and ligaments to help them move you around from place to place. Nearly three-quarters of Americans will experience some degree of foot and ankle problems during their lifetime due to improper foot care. Some of these conditions can be inherited. However, foot and ankle problems often result from years of abuse and neglect due to not seeking early medical treatment for achiness or pain. Wearing footwear without enough support, standing all day for work or exercising can all add stress to your feet and affect your ability to walk comfortably.

Common conditions such as athlete’s foot, bunions, and neuromas can all affect the skin on your feet or the tissues and bones inside. Most foot-related conditions are treatable and pain or discomfort should not be ignored. Not being able to walk comfortably can affect your quality of life and prevent you from being physically active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you are diabetic, it is especially important to maintain good foot care to prevent injuries that can result in major infections or other complications.
