Understanding foot injuries
The foot is an incredibly complex part of the body, with 26 bones that are connected by joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. This is why foot problems are so common.
If you’re feeling pain in your feet, the best time to seek treatment is when your symptoms begin, even if they’re not that bad. The sooner you’re able to correct any issues that are happening, the more likely you are to avoid further injury.
