Healthy feet are vital for mobility. In their lifetime, the average person walks approximately 100,000 miles. But all too often, we do not place the same emphasis on looking after our feet as we do on other parts of our body.
Like many of us, you may not realise how important your feet are but I bet you rely upon them every day. Our foot is the most common mode of transport for us, human beings. Hence, we need to take an extra care and extra effort in maintaining our foot's health.
The human foot is a strong and complex mechanical structure containing 26 bones, 33 joints (20 of which are actively articulated), and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Given these facts, it’s no wonder so much can go wrong with this body part. In fact, there are more than 300 possible foot ailments. Since your feet need to last you a lifetime, preventive foot care - and early attention to foot problems - should be a top concern.
Podiatric medicine is a branch of the medical sciences devoted to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of foot disorders resulting from injury or disease. The human foot has a complex interrelation with the rest of the body, which means that it may be the first area to show signs of serious conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Podiatrists play an important role in monitoring disease and managing lower limb issues to maintain an active and mobile population across the lifespan. Therefore patient demographics can be diverse ranging from monitoring children’s growth and development, managing sports injuries, working with people with chronic disease, disability and the aging population.
So if you want your foot checked by a reliable foot health professional whether you are in Long Jetty and Berkeley Vale or anywhere in Central Coast, Tuggerah Lakes Podiatry should be on top of your list!
