The foot and ankle are probably the most fascinating parts of the body to me. The ankle contains more than 100 ligaments, tendons, and muscles, 33 joints,
and 26 bones. In fact, one quarter of the bones in the body are located in this area. So this dynamic joint can certainly be a problem area. But often
times, a problem in the back, hip, or knee can directly affect the foot and ankle.

For example, plantar fasciitis can occur for a variety of reasons: a leg length difference, a low back problem, a tight hip, a knee that hyperextends...
the list could go on. So while it is vital that you have someone monitor the plantar fasciitis, it is just as important that you figure out whythe
symptoms started in order to keep it from coming back.
