Dealing with foot and ankle problems is quite common, mainly because these body parts contain a complex web of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When any of these components weaken due to injury, chronic overuse, deformity, or disease, it's crucial to consult a qualified foot and ankle specialist for evaluation and treatment.
