Non-Surgical Treatment for Foot and Ankle Pain
The foot and ankle form complex joints involved in movement and providing stability and balance to the body. The foot is composed of different structures including bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. As the feet bear the weight of our body, they are more prone to injury and pain. Normally, foot pain can be treated with home treatments but may take time to heal.
