Pronation Concerns

Neutral foot pronation happens when your foot naturally rolls slightly inward (by approximately 15°) as you walk. This balanced movement evenly spreads your body weight over the foot, offering ideal shock absorption and ensuring your ankles and legs remain well-aligned to avoid injury.

Overpronation of the feet is quite common. It occurs when your feet roll inward, causing you to walk with flat arches. This condition can strain muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Overpronation may result from genetics or develop gradually over time due to "wear and tear." It can raise the risk of injury, particularly when wearing poorly fitting shoes.

Supination occurs when a patient's feet roll outward. This movement prevents the foot from effectively absorbing the shock during the gait process, potentially leading to pain or injury. Patients with supinated feet often experience frequent ankle sprains.

After a thorough gait analysis, we'll dive into custom ways to enhance your natural gait, ensuring you have the right support for all your daily activities. The fastest path to correct alignment starts with providing excellent arch support to keep your feet and ankles steady and prevent them from rolling inward.

• Custom Orthotics: We scan your feet to create personalized orthotics that support your daily alignment.

• Proper Shoe Gear: Step into comfort with shoes that feature a wide toe box, a rigid sole, and a firm heel counter. Kick worn-out shoes to the curb!

• Stretching Routines: Enhance your flexibility by stretching tight muscles and rolling out tension in your feet. It's a game-changer for alignment concerns!

• Foot & Ankle Strengthening: Strengthen those intrinsic foot muscles to unlock the natural protection they offer against collapsed arches.
