Have you ever thought about the importance of your feet and why one must take care of them? Let’s learn a little something about your feet. Our feet have twenty-six bones and represent a quarter of the overall human skeleton structure. These twenty-six bones armed with 100 plus muscles, ligaments, tendons, and 33 joints form a complex mechanical structure that offers mobility and help us walk, run, pursue sports, and perform various physical activities relying on our feet and ankles.

However, due to various reasons and factors, we often face multiple issues related to our feet. Issues could range from aches and pains in the lower limbs, sprains, tears, fractures, inflammation, corns, calluses, ingrowing toenails, varicose veins, arthritis, sports injuries, gait, and postural anomalies, toe walking, pregnancy-related foot ailments. These issues are representative of the 300 plus foot and ankle-related ailments that we humans suffer and often
ignore.

In the recent past, diabetic foot disease has been at the forefront of these foot ailments, with a limb being lost every 20 seconds globally, and the mortality rate of a patient with a diabetic foot ulcer is higher than Cancer. 80% of amputations/ulcers can be prevented by early podiatric care.

The lowermost extremities (below the knee, foot & ankle) of our bodies require as much care and are prone to major damage more than any other part of our body. With a mission to provide care to the much-neglected part of the body, FootSecure was founded.

FootSecure intends to reach out to 15 million patients with foot and ankle ailments through various means. Such as our impaneled health care providers, our digital platforms like Wound360, Foot360, and FootCart, and via dedicated podiatry departments and hospitals in the next 5 years.
