Foot & Ankle

The human foot is a structure of bones and tissues that combine strength and mechanical complexity needed for motion. A healthy foot can sustain an incredible amount of pressure and provide the entire body with a foundation of stability and support. When the foot is injured, normal movements like walking and running can become nearly impossible.
