Foot Solutions

Millions of Americans suffer from foot pain. Feet are complex mechanical devices. Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments and a complex network of nerves and blood vessels.

Your feet perform five critical functions:

1 - support your weight
2 - keep you balanced
3 - propel your body
4 - absorb shock
5 - maintain lower body blood circulation

Nature has designed your feet to function on natural, uneven surfaces. In our society we put additional stress on our feet by forcing them to perform on flat, hard surfaces. This stress is a major cause of knee, hip and lower back problems. Proper footwear can prevent or correct many of these problems. Footwear also protects your feet from disease and injury. Footwear selection is very important.Improper footwear can lead to bunions, plantar faciitis (heel pain), hammer toes, neuromas, corns and calluses.

At Foot Solutions our pedorthists are experts in helping you select proper footwear (shoes and/or orthotics) based on a number of factors:

1 - the structure your feet - their shape, size and flexibility

2 - your gait - the way you walk

3 - preexisting conditions - injuries, deformities or diseases

4 - your lifestyle
