 Our feet |
 |
Foundation of our mobility
 26 bones
31 articulations
29 muscles
50 legaments
|
|
They allow us to stand or walk upright, they carry the body’s weight and they also help us to keep balance
|
|
Unfortunately many people underestimate the importance of their feet. No other part of the body is more stimulated than feet: during a regular walk those few square centimetres move over 100 tons and in the course of our life they make us do twice the world tour.

Our Doctor
|
|
Foot is too important for others to take care of it, it must be treated by a doctor.
Only a doctor can understand your foot as part of a whole.
|
 |
|
Only a doctor can understand that swollen ankles can be the symptom of a heart failure, that some plantar callosities in diabetic people require an aimed and more precocious intervention for the risk of a formation of incurable ulcers….How many diabetic amputated feet!!!!There are many internist pathologies which can affect the foot …(deforming) rheumatoid arthritis, gout, osteoarthrosis, osteoporosis…
|
| Why FootClinic From foot to heart…to brain |
|
Why FOOTCLINIC ?
Because we are doctors so we look at the foot as part of a whole.Many general diseases can be discovered by a foot examination.
HEART DISORDERS :
Press your finger on the skin around the ankle…. a persistent depression means that your heart does not pump as it should…so liquids follow the force of gravity.
|
|
DIABETES :
Impaired circulation in diabetes transforms callosities(area where there is more body pressure) in ulcers.
GOUT :
An acute and relapsing pain with inflammation which tipically affects the hallux.
( DEFORMING ) ARTHRITIS RHEUMATOID :
An abnormal foot shape can be the consequence of rheumatoid arthritis.
So if a footclinic doctor takes a blood sample from you or orders you a Doppler or an ecg don’t take him for crazy !
|
|
BRAIN :
Again he orders you a NMR he is not crazy.
An arched foot can put more in evidence a brain’s disease such as Parkinson’s , cerebellum disorder,senile tremor , spinalk column disorders.
