joint pain

Little do you know, your feet are actually a really important body part that you have. Well, yes all of the body parts are extremely important to the development and growth of a person’s temple but the feet play a major role in one’s life. They help you walk, they help you run, they help you show off those brand new heels or bomb shoes you just bought and they even look great when you show them off after a nice pedicure. Your feet can do all those external things but what’s even more amazing about your feet is how many nerves they are attached to in your body. Yes, the nerves in your feet can determine pain in other parts of your body. So if that’s the case, can your feet be the reason why you’re experiencing joint pain?

It’s normal to have regular arched feet, in fact, that’s how your feet are supposed to be according to science. There is supposed to be a slight arch to help with balance.

People who have flat and high arched feet do not have that slight arch. Either they have a very high arch or no arch at all.
