Common Foot Problems
The average person will take 6,000 to 10,000 steps per day, putting thousands of pounds of pressure on his or her feet every hour. When an imbalance causes the proper movement pattern of the foot to be disrupted, a number of conditions can result, including the most common conditions outlined below.
