By the time you reach to the age of 50 years, you walk twice around the whole world on your feet!! The problems in the back, hip & knee can in fact be due to problems in foot & ankle. Many diseases show their first sign of existence through foot & ankle.
Worldwide foot & ankle is an established specialty of medicine while Indian scenario is pathetic. Huge ignorance & neglect prevails not only amongst society but also amongst doctor community! Neglect of its problems will not only alter fitness of a student, adult, sports or elderly population but can also prove to be the root cause for back, knee & hip problems!
