Foot Pain Norridge
Here at AFP Podiatry, one of the most common reasons that patients seek the expert treatment of our Norridge foot specialist is because they are struggling with arthritis in the foot. While many people experience pain and stiffness in their feet as they grow older, most do not realize that this discomfort can be a result of arthritis of the foot. If arthritis of the foot is left untreated, the pain can eventually get worse and worse, and you may even reach the point where walking is very painful for you, even if you are only walking for short distances. Our Norridge foot specialist does not want arthritis to take away from your quality of life or your mobility. Arthritis refers to a number of conditions that have to do with disrupting the normal workings of the joints in your body. Your foot has twenty-six bones and over thirty joints.
