Overview
Proper foot care is not something most of us think about until problems literally put us out of step. Yet, foot and ankle problems are among the most common health ailments. Virtually everyone will experience some degree of foot and ankle problems during their lifetime.
Some foot problems are inherited and many stem from a lifetime of accumulated abuse and neglect, such as wearing improper footwear or not seeking early medical attention.
