Did you know out of the 26 bones you have in your foot, your toes consist of 14 bones called phalanges? Your phalanges are followed up by 5 bones named metatarsals. Your toes are there for balance and take in some of the weight off the rest of your foot.

Your toes can help you out or really make your daily life painful if you don't take care of them. Cramming them in shoes that are ill fitting can bring some major problems to your toes. We take those digits usually for granted and hopefully I will be able to shed some light on how we treat our feet and toes is important. By taking care of them now, you will be able to put your best foot forward for the rest of your life.
Have a great weekend everyone!
