Each foot consists of twenty-six bones, and bears the weight of the body. Foot pain is a common ailment among the majority of the population, and typically affects all parts of the foot. Sources of foot pain may consist of wearing shoes that do not fit properly, and participating in high-impact sporting activities. Additionally, foot pain can be caused by existing conditions that can include diabetes, poor circulation, and arthritis.
