[/caption] Here's what you should know about getting board-certified Colorado Springs podiatry services at Intermountain Foot & Ankle: The foot is one of the most complex parts of the body, consisting of 28 bones connected by numerous joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The foot is susceptible to many stresses. Foot pain and problems can cause pain, inflammation, or injury, resulting in limited movement and mobility. Unfortunately, almost 80% of the population will experience foot pain at some time during their lives. The average person takes approximately 10,000 steps each day on every conceivable type of surface and incline. This level of wear and tear can lead to mal-alignment of bones and joints of the feet. The discomfort associated with these mal-alignments is responsible for up to 80-90% of the foot ailments we see and treat daily in our office.
Foot pain is often caused by improper foot function. Improperly fitted shoes can worsen and, in some cases, cause foot problems. Shoes that fit properly and give good arch support can prevent irritation to the foot joints and skin. There are many types of foot problems that affect the heels, toes, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and joints of the foot. The symptoms of foot problems may resemble other medical conditions and problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis. Podiatry services include:
