As people age, the structure and function of the feet undergo several changes that can contribute to common foot disorders. Soft tissue structures like ligaments and tendons often become stiffer over time, reducing the foot's ability to absorb shock and adapt to uneven surfaces. This stiffness can increase the risk of pain and injury during walking or standing. Additionally, there is often a decrease in joint range of motion, particularly in the ankles and toes, which affects overall balance and mobility. Muscle strength also tends to decline with age, making it more difficult to support the arches and maintain proper alignment. These changes collectively increase the likelihood of developing arthritis, bunions, and hammertoes. If you have noticed any changes to your feet as you get older, it is suggested that you contact a chiropodist who can treat various foot conditions and help you to monitor your foot health.

The biomechanics of your feet play an important role in your foot health. To learn more, please consult with one of the chiropodists from Complete Family Footcare & Therapy. Our clinicians can help you maintain the health of your lower limbs and your mobility. 

Foot biomechanics refers to the study of the structure, function, and motion of the feet. The feet and ankles are a complex system consisting of many bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons that work together to move your feet. Understanding the unique biomechanics of your own feet can help you and your chiropodist make informed decisions about your foot health care. This includes decisions about the best preventive measures to avoid foot pain, the best treatment options for various foot problems, and finding the best shoes for your feet.
