Healthy, Happy and On-the-Go at Valencia Foot & Ankle Center

 Dr. Tony Avakian is a passionate man, he is a dedicated man and he is a knowledge-seeker, always looking to be on the cutting edge in his practice.  You see, Dr. Avakian is a podiatrist—a Foot & Ankle Physician & Surgeon to be exact.  As a Member of The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine and The American College of Foot & Ankle Orthopedic Medicine & Surgery, Dr. Avakian prides his practice on providing the most comprehensive care for some of the most important bones, ligaments and tendons in your body. There are 26 bones in the human foot, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles and tendons. The 52 bones in your feet make up about 25 percent of all the bones in your body.  So, it goes without saying that good foot health is important.  If your job or lifestyle demands that you be on your feet for any significant amount of time, your foot health is even more paramount.  And if you spend most of your time at your desk, you still need to get up occasionally in order to avoid neck and shoulder pain associated with sitting at a computer, and to prevent blood from pooling in your feet.  It is vital that you do stand up and walk around at least once an hour. Poor foot health can also harm your work performance, resulting in lost time, lost productivity, and lower job efficiency or effectiveness.  The feelings of inadequacy can also spill over into your home life, but the good news is you have the power to be in control of your health.
