Feet
Our feet carry us through our lives, and thus are subjected to tremendous workloads. Additional unfavorable factors such as poor footwear, overweight, lack of coordination or overtaxing activities can lead to condition such as flat feet, heel spurs, or osteoarthritis.
The most common acute injuries are ligament tears & fractures (often caused by “rolling an ankle”), heel fractures (from high falls), and fatigue fractures of the metatarsus. These injuries can also result in long-term consequences such as cartilage damage and early arthrosis.
