Foot and Ankle Pain

Foot and Ankle Pain

Feet are the joints that directly bear the body’s weight and act as shock absorbers by transferring this weight to the ground. During walking or running, the bones, muscles, joints, and ligaments that make up the foot must work together at proper angles to distribute body weight evenly. However, many people have congenital or acquired foot deformities. Structural and functional problems in the foot can gradually cause pain in the knee, leg, and even the lower back.

• Bunions (Hallux Valgus)
