Your feet are engineering masterpieces .. each one is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. However, we tend to ignore our feet and take them for granted.. until they hurt or it is time to hit the beach. On the next Health Link we will examine some common foot ailments, including bunions and plantar fasciitis. We'll show you how to measure your foot and select proper fitting stylish footwear and have tips on pampering your feet with a pedicure. Find out what you can do to keep your feet healthy and pain free.
