'Be "foot aware". If you suffer from knee, hip or back pain, a small structural or functional imbalance in the foot could be to blame. Conditions such as arthritis and diabetes may also show initial symptoms in the feet. See a chiropodist or podiatrist if you have any concerns.' Podiatric surgeon Mike O'Neill, spokesperson for the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists
