Your feet mirror your general health but they are often severely neglected compared to eyes, teeth and hair. Such conditions as arthritis, diabetes, nerve and circulatory disorders can show their initial symptoms in the feet and ‘minor’ foot ailments can be your first sign of more serious medical problems.
There are approximately 250,000 sweat glands in a pair of feet they excrete as much as half a pint of moisture each day. There are times when you’re walking when the pressure on your feet exceeds your body weight, and when you’re running, it can be three or four times your weight. The 52 bones in your feet make up about one quarter of all the bones in your body. Women have roughly four times as many foot problems as men.
Get the answers you need and find out how you can prevent problems with headaches, backaches, pregnancy and circulation problems by simple footcare with chiropodist Joanne Williams-Roberts. Ms Roberts operates out of Dermacia Pharmacy at 260 Upper Street Islington and can be booked for private consultations on 0207 359 1126
