Cause and Treatment of Excessive Foot Pronation
The right way for the foot to hit the ground is for the heel to his first and then roll forward. A pronated foot turns inward when walking, so that the inner part of the foot bears the body's weight. There is a normal amount of pronation necessary for a normal walking motion. On the other hand, a foot with excessive pronation can cause a stretching of the ligaments and tendons, fallen arches, and collapsed arches. When you walk on an excessively pronated foot, there is a misalignment of the joints in the feet, knees, and hips. Excessive foot pronation can cause damage to the foot and a destabilization of the joints in the foot.In the early stages of excessive pronation, the foot area may feel tender. Later stages of this misalignment nay cause pain and a destabilization of the structure of the foot. Excessive pronation may cause permanent damage.
Visible signs of excessive Pronation
- When standing, your knees turn inward.
- When standing your heels turn toward the inside.
- You may notice fallen arches or bunions.
- You quickly wear out the inner soles of your footwear.
- You may experience knee pain when working out or exercising.
- You recover from the knee pain when you stop exercising.
There are many conditions that can develop as the result of excessive pronation, including
- Metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of the foot)
- Flat Feet
- Hallux Rigidus (stiff 1st toe)
- Hammer Toes
- Shin Splints
- Arch Pain
- Calluses and Corns
- Osteochondrosis
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Ankle Sprains
- Knee Pain
Overpronation is linked by the way our foot hits the ground when walking or running. Our foot risks overpronation by some kind of dysfunction in our gait (the way we walk). Well built custom orthotics that restore a person's natural walking motion help to reduce or avoid injury. A well built anti-pronation orthotic will align the feet with the knees and hips. This will reduce or eliminate a rolling over of the feet when coming in contact with the ground. A custom built orthotic will help to restore your foot's natural arch, and treat hammer toes, arch pain, shin pain, ankle sprains and knee pain.
