Ankle and Lower Leg Pain
The ankle and foot is the most important part of our body which takes whole body weight and help us to walk smoothly. Any problem in the leg or ankle can lead to pain in our body until the neck. This means alignment of the foot is important for all joints of the body.
Multiple problems can get easily resolved with the treatment of the foot if it is paining or not, but it can be the cause of many problems in all the above joints. So, footwear is the most important element to keep our all joints aligned.
Foot and ankle are made of small bones called tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges, along with the bones of the leg tibia, and fibula. Many muscles hold our foot aligned so all muscles and ligaments play important role in the stabilization of our ankle joint.
