​Foot drop is a general term for difficulty lifting the front part of the foot. If you have foot drop, the front of your foot might drag on the ground when you walk. 

Foot drop isn’t a disease; rather it is a sign of an underlying neurological, muscular or anatomical problem.

Foot drop also puts extra stress on the hips and knees by forcing them to bend early in the gait cycle so that the toes clear the ground to avoid tripping over them. 

Thankfully there is a new brace that fits on the outside of the shoe that will help with walking and
mobility.

If you are limping around with foot pain or have chronic
aching feet – this can indicate a bigger health problem needing attention now.

The simple prescription of daily walking can do wonders for your health; but if walking and standing cause you pain and discomfort, then walking really isn’t your friend and you need to get to the bottom of this! Muscle cramping, neuropathy, mechanical foot pain, foot drop and arthritic conditions should be diagnosed and treated before little problems become big problems.

Proper assessment of your gait (the way you walk) and a comprehensive foot exam including biomechanics, sensory, circulation, range of motion and muscle strength can reveal a lot of information to get you well on your way to increasing your daily foot steps which will assist in increasing your health and outlook.

Get your feet checked today; your future healthy self will thank you!
