Foot Deformities

Consisting of some 26 bones and an intricate framework of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, each foot is exquisitely designed to allow you to stand, walk, run, jump and absorb the tremendous forces that get generated every time the heel hits the ground. If any of these interdependent parts are damaged, disfigured, or not working in perfect harmony, your ability to move about and function with comfort and ease can be compromised. 

What causes a foot deformity? 

Foot deformities are common problems that can arise for a variety of reasons. They may be hereditary, a congenital problem, the result of an injury, produced by ill-fitting footwear, or the consequence of a medical condition that affects the bones and tissues of the foot. In addition to being a source of local pain and discomfort, these deformities can impair function and progress to create more far-reaching issues that extend upwards through your feet, legs, hips, back, and beyond.
