Foot Bones and Their Importance in Movement - #7029

I recently started having foot pain, and my doctor mentioned that it could be related to the Foot Bones. I didn’t realize how many bones are in the foot, but now I want to understand more. What are the Foot Bones, and how do they help with movement?? From what I read, the foot has 26 bones divided into three main sections: the tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges. But how do they all work together to support walking, running, and standing?? I also saw that conditions like flat feet, bunions, stress fractures, and plantar fasciitis can affect the Foot Bones. But how do you know if foot pain is caused by a bone problem or a muscle or tendon issue?? One thing I’m really curious about—can Foot Bones heal easily if they get fractured? I read that some foot fractures take weeks or even months to heal. What are the best ways to support bone healing?? For those who have had Foot Bone injuries, what was the cause, and how long did it take to recover??
