The foot and ankle are amazingly complex structures that absorb a huge amount of force with every step that you take. Following injuries, or with age, ligaments and other structures in the foot can change, resulting in improper or aggravated forces on the foot and ankle which can cause pain, damage, or functional problems. Problems in your feet or ankles can also affect the functioning of your knee, hip, back, and even posture.
