Common Foot Disorders

Foot and Ankle Disorders

Did you know the foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles, and numerous tendons? These parts all work together to allow the foot to move in a variety of ways while balancing your weight and propelling you forward or backward on even or uneven surfaces. It is no wonder that 75 percent of all Americans will experience foot problems at one point or another in their lifetimes. The Foot & Ankle Associates has developed this collection of foot disorders to help site visitors identify and understand problems they may be having with their feet or ankles. For a professional evaluation, please contact any one of our Greater Houston area podiatric foot care locations.
