Overview
Heel, Foot & Ankle
The complete end part of our body is a remarkably complex biological device, yet the heel, foot and ankle don’t usually get the same attention and care as other parts of our body do. Despite this, our feet contain one fourth of the body’s bones, and about 80% of people will suffer from foot related problems during their lifetime.

About
Along with the ankles and heels, our feet provide stability to our bodies and are essential to locomotion. If anything goes wrong with the different parts that form these structures, pain can result. There is no specific reason as to why heel, foot or ankle pain occurs. However, common problems which show similar symptoms include sprains, plantar fasciitis, diabetic neuropathy, tendinitis, hammertoe, tarsal tunnel syndrome.
