Dealing with foot and ankle problems is quite common, mainly because these
body parts contain a complex web of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and
ligaments. When any of these components weaken due to injury, chronic
overuse, deformity, or disease, it's crucial to consult a qualified foot
and ankle specialist for evaluation and treatment.
