Why do feet need specialist care?

Feet are very complex, as they house a quarter of the bones in the body. Moreover, the feet comprise of a network of muscles, ligaments and joints, which play an integral part in keeping you mobile. Our feet are often the most neglected and forgotten parts of our bodies, which increase their vulnerability to injury and disease. As our feet are our main mode of transport it is imperative to take care of them, as they cannot be replaced like a pair of shoes. Each person’s feet are individual and therefore, require specialised care. Research shows that only a fraction of those suffering from sore lower limbs and or feet seek professional help. A common misconception is that sore lower limb and or feet are normal. Just as you would visit a dentist for a toothache, you should visit Eastwood Podiatry Clinic if you suffer from sore or tired lower limbs or feet.
