· 3 out of 4 adults experience serious foot problems in their lifetime

· The foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles.

· 1/4 of all the bones in the human body are down in your feet. When these bones are out of alignment, it affects the rest of the body.

· It's neglect and a lack of awareness of proper care that can bring on foot problems.

· Women have about four times as many foot problems as men. High heels are partly to blame.

· Your feet mirror your general health. Conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, nerve and circulatory disorders can show their initial symptoms in the feet. Therefore foot ailments can be your first sign of more serious medical problems.
