Arthritis

Arthritis and other joint conditions are common condition that affects millions of people, and your feet are often among the first areas to feel the effects. With 33 joints and 26 bones in each foot, it’s no surprise that issues like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid conditions can significantly affect mobility and daily comfort. These problems may cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and changes in the structure of your feet and ankles—making walking or standing for long periods difficult.
