Did you know your feet are kind of like Legos? 🦶 Each bone is a piece that needs to fit together just right. When conditions like Charcot Arthropathy weaken the bones and joints, that structure can collapse—causing pain, deformity, and instability. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to keeping your “Lego feet” strong and aligned. At Idaho Foot & Ankle Center, we’re here to help you protect every piece. 💙
