FOOT HEALTH

The Foot

16 February 2005

The foot is a very complex structure consisting of 26 bones which are supported by a network of ligaments, muscles, blood vessels and nerves.

 

Our feet can also be a guide to our general health. Signs for certain conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, circulatory and neurological diseases often appear on the feet first.


Healthy, happy, painless feet come from proper foot care. This should be as much a part of your daily routine as brushing your teeth.  Remember prevention is better than cure.
