Weirdest facts about feet

Not All Toes Have the Same Number of Bones

Even though it's called your “big” toe, it only has two bones while your other toes each have three bones. These bones are called phalanges (pronounced fuh-lan-jeez). By the way, some people have more than five toes on each foot.

Weirdest facts about feet

feet have about 250,000 sweat glands which produce up to half a pint of perspiration each day. There are approximately 8,000 nerves in the feet—that's more per square centimeter than any place else on your body. Toenails grow more slowly than fingernails—approximately 1 mm per month.

IS IT A CALLUS OR A BUNION?

Most people don’t give their feet a second thought until something goes wrong. Two of the most common reasons that men and women seek help from a podiatrist are for bunions and calluses. If you’ve developed a tough, sensitive area on one or both of your feet, you may be wondering which one is the source of your discomfort. At Family Foot Care Centre we understand that foot problems can make it difficult to perform your daily activities. In some cases, calluses and bunions can be so painful that you have trouble just standing or walking.

What is a bunion?
You have a large joint called a metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint at the outside of your big toe. When your big toe pushes inward, it shifts your bones out of place and creates a hard deformity called a bunion.

You can get a bunion from an injury, ill-fitting shoes, or arthritis, but they’re typically hereditary.

What is a callus?
Unlike a bunion, which involves bone, a callus is simply an area of thickened skin. A callus usually forms in an area such as the sole of your foot that’s trying to protect itself from frequent rubbing, standing, friction, or pressure.

While it may not be painful, you may not like the appearance of the callus and wish to have it removed.

To get started with your foot evaluation to determine if you have a bunion or a callus, call the office at 902-569-8638 or www.familyfootcare.ca to book your appointment online today.
