Are you aware that next month celebrates National Foot Health Awareness Month? Surprisingly, around 20% of Americans report experiencing foot issues each year. Now is the opportune moment to prioritize foot health. Recognizing the importance of maintaining foot health is crucial, and to add a bit of interest, here are some fascinating facts about feet and ankles:

- A foot contains 26 bones, which accounts for a quarter of all the bones in the human body. Additionally, each foot has 33 joints, 107 ligaments, and 19 muscles and tendons.

- On average, an individual takes between 5,000 and 7,000 steps daily. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), over a lifetime, the average person will walk close to 100,000 miles, which is equivalent to circling the Earth three to four times.

- The best time to purchase shoes, as recommended by the American Podiatry Medical Association, is in the afternoon. This is because feet tend to slightly swell over the day, making it ideal to choose shoes that accommodate this increase in size for optimal comfort.

- Women are four times more likely than men to encounter foot issues, largely due to the types of shoes worn.

- Foot problems can often signal the onset of more severe health issues. The state of your feet can reflect overall health, with conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, nerve, and circulatory disorders manifesting initial symptoms in the feet.

- The soles of the feet have a higher concentration of sweat glands and sensory nerve endings per square centimeter than any other part of the body.

- Despite 25% of Americans suffering from foot ailments, only a fraction seek medical advice, and even fewer (12%) consult with a podiatrist.

Running, a widely embraced form of exercise known for its cardiovascular benefits, unfortunately, carries the risk of causing injuries, especially to the sensitive areas of the feet and ankles.

We are a group of board-certified podiatrists specializing in sports-related foot issues, and have encountered numerous cases of foot and ankle injuries among runners, with the most frequent being:
• Ankle Sprains and Swelling
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Stress Fractures
• Achilles Tendonitis
• Bunions

Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are notably common in running, characterized by the foot rolling outward while the ankle twists inward, often described as a "twist" due to the opposing movements involved. Experiencing a sprained ankle can result in significant pain and swelling, with stiffness lasting for days. For those with a history of recurrent ankle sprains from running, consulting us can be crucial for determining the underlying causes and preventing future incidents.

Plantar Fasciitis
A common issue, plantar fasciitis triggers a dull or throbbing pain in the heel or arch, typically worsening in the morning and improving throughout the day.

Stress Fractures
Stress fractures are defined by minor cracks or lines appearing on the bones of the legs and feet, leading to pain and discomfort, particularly for runners who frequently run on hard surfaces like concrete.

Bunions
Bunions, though partially genetic, can affect any runner. These painful formations occur at the base joint of the big toe, and seeing us can aid in addressing this condition effectively.

Achilles Tendonitis
Named after the Greek hero Achilles, this condition affects the tendon connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone, leading to inflammation known as tendinitis. It's a chronic condition that can cause significant pain, requiring professional treatment for resolution.

Plantar Fasciitis
A common issue, plantar fasciitis triggers a dull or throbbing pain in the heel or arch, typically worsening in the morning and improving throughout the day.

Heel Spurs
Heel spurs, an extra bone growth on the heel, are a frequent complaint among athletes, causing pain that can be aggravated by physical activity.

Runners – Reach Out for Support!
Our team is dedicated to offering top-notch foot care and advice to runners. Don't let foot pain hinder your running journey. We're here to support your foot health for the long run.
