Ankle, Leg, and Foot Pain
The foot (including the ankle) is a complex mechanical structure containing more than 120 bones, tendons, muscles and ligaments and 33 joints. All of these components work in unison to help support and balance your body during daily activities. Although some foot and ankle problems are inherited, many stem from a lifetime of accumulated abuse and neglect, such as wearing improper shoes or failing to seek early medical attention for injuries.
