Ankle and Foot Pain

Ninety percent of us are born with some degree of bowleggedness. For most of us that also means that either one of both feet over pronate. That means that the foot rolls toward the big toe on walking. Many of the rest of us walk on the out side of the foot and were know as supinators. Now back to the over pronators. You can check this as the heels of your shoes will wear unevenly with more wear and tear on the outside of the heal. Hm-mm. so your an over pronator, joint the club. 

With over-pronation the heel then rolls with every step. As it does, it places uneven gaping on the ankle. Overuse syndrome ensues and vol-la you have Ankle pain. As the ankle is a miter joint the gaping only worsens with extra weight and use, sch as walking or running.

Of course standing on concrete all day is not good either.  I can't tell you how many people have come in with ankle pain over the years and what they needed was a good NEW pair of shoes with a secure toe box and a good heel cup. These people tell me how good their shoes look on the outside and they do. But... the inside is worn out where they have been standing on concrete 8 hours a day.

This over-pronation leads to numerous foot pains such as plantar fasciitis.
