Foot Pain
The average American takes between 8,000 and 10,000 steps in a day, or up to five miles. At best, slight foot pain is annoying; at its worst, it can be debilitating. And while some foot pain can be traced to improperly fitting footwear, most conditions – such as arthritis, bunions, gout, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, and plantar fasciitis – require medical attention.
Foot pain is a consequence of a wide variety of conditions. Some of the causes originate in the soft tissues, some are osseous in origin, and some are from abnormal foot function or metabolic disease. With 19 muscles, 107 ligaments, 33 joints, and 26 bones, the foot is an amazing mechanical structure that supports tremendous pressures and forces during normal activities, not to mention during the stresses of athletic activities.
