DID YOU KNOW?
-
Podiatrists undergo rigorous training to become qualified to treat foot and ankle problems, typically involving thousands of hours of study.
-
The feet contain a complex structure comprising 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 ligaments, muscles, and connective tissues, making them intricate and vital parts of the body.
-
High glucose levels in diabetics can lead to nerve damage, a condition known as diabetic neuropathy.
-
The feet are equipped with approximately 250,000 sweat glands, contributing to the body's overall perspiration regulation. Excessive sweating of the feet, or hyperhidrosis, can result in foot odor.
-
During walking and running, the feet endure significant pressure, exceeding the body weight during walking and three to four times the body weight during running. Proper footwear and support are crucial for mitigating this pressure.
-
Shopping for shoes in the afternoon when feet are slightly swollen is advisable to ensure a proper fit. Trying on shoes on both feet and selecting the larger size, if necessary, helps achieve optimal comfort and support.
-
Feet can reveal early signs of certain health conditions, including diabetes and atherosclerosis. Podiatrists are trained to recognize these signs as part of their comprehensive assessment of foot health.
-
Women have four times the number of foot problems than men, largely due to more shoe choices for women prioritizing fashion over foot health, which leads to podiatric problems. That’s why podiatrists see more women than men.
