Our feet suffer abuse, wear and tear, and injuries unlike any other body part. They support the entire weight of our bodies day-in and day-out, and can easily become sprained or strained. Each foot consists of 52 bones and tendons, joints, muscles and ligaments all connect together in our feet, providing a lot of flexibility, but unfortunately also being susceptible to foot injury.
If you’re a runner, your feet could be taking on the pressure of up to four times your body weight with each step.
Foot pain doctors will tell you that a foot injury could be caused from a variety of reasons from obvious ankle sprains
due to twisting or turning joints in excess, to wearing shoes that don’t fit your foot properly. Our Indianapolis foot doctors are
experienced in providing foot pain services including:
- Total ankle replacement
