Podiatry
Did you know that your feet mirror general good health? Such conditions as arthritis, diabetes, nerve and circulatory disorders can show their initial symptoms in the feet — so foot ailments can be your first sign of more serious medical problems.
Your foot is an intricate structure containing 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, and 19 muscles and tendons that hold the structure together and allow it to move in a variety of ways. The 52 bones in your feet make up about 25 percent of all the bones in your body. The Elmhurst Clinic podiatrist is prepared to treat people of all ages — from children through adult life — and get them back on their feet again.
