The feet are complex mechanical structures of the human body, each consisting of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, ligaments, and tendons. They serve as the foundation for the entire body, offering support, balance, as well as impacting overall well-being. Ongoing conditions stemming from the feet can lead to patients experiencing pain in their knees, hips, and lower back. Richmond University Medical Center’s Podiatry Department offers a robust lineup of ambulatory and in-patient podiatry services. RUMC’s podiatry experts specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide assortment of foot and ankle conditions.
