Rediscover Comfort With the Help of Our Podiatric Physician Near Jeffersonville, IN

Each of your feet is an intricate structure comprised of 30 joints, 26 bones, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This finely tuned system supports, stabilizes, and propels your entire body. Like most people, you probably take around 8,000 steps every day. As such, your feet endure significant pressure—up to four times the weight of your body—during your daily activities, and even more during athletics and other intensive pursuits.

There is no doubt that you ask a lot of your feet. But they should not hurt as a result!

Don’t Ignore Your Foot Pain

Chronic foot pain is not something to take lightly. It can disrupt your balance, limit your mobility, and increase your risk of falling. Furthermore, your feet can serve as important indicators of your overall health, sometimes providing early warning signs of an underlying medical condition. For instance, symptoms of some potentially serious health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, gout, deep vein thrombosis, and kidney disease may first become apparent in your feet. By identifying the root cause of your discomfort, our podiatric physician can ensure you receive appropriate treatment, safeguard your health, and help you get back on your feet.
