Regardless of what you call them – your wheels, your dogs, or your tootsies – your feet can take quite a pounding. The average person takes approximately 10,000 steps per day and walks about 115,000 miles over the course of a lifetime. But with 26 bones and 33 joints in the human foot, they’re pretty intricate shock absorbers. A variety of foot and ankle problems can, well, knock you off your feet.
