Fun Foot Facts from Mark E. Sowell, DPM

Just thought someone might find these foot facts interesting:)

Seventy-five percent of Americans will experience foot health problems of varying degrees of severity at one time or another in their lives.

 The foot is an intricate structure containing 26 bones.  Thirty-three joints, 107   ligaments, 19 muscles, and tendons hold the structure together and allow it to move in a variety of ways.

 The 52 bones in your feet make up about one quarter of  all bones in your body.
