April is National Foot Health Awareness Month. Feet are both a critical component and gauge of our well-being, and yet, they rarely cross people’s minds — unless they are in pain. The average person takes approximately 10,000 steps per day, and with 26 bones plus 33 joints, our feet serve as the foundation for the rest of our body. If the feet are not mechanically sound, it can affect the knees, hips and even the lower back. You’ll need your feet to carry you an average of 115,000 miles in your lifetime; therefore, avoiding foot problems should be a priority!
