The foot and ankle are amazingly complex. A sophisticated network of muscles, ligaments, blood
vessels, and nerves, as well as over 25% of the bones in the human body are contained in the feet,
so the range of potential problems is enormous.
Nearly 80% of people will experience foot problems
at some time in their life, and about 20% of them are experiencing it right now.
