What causes Foot Problems?

« Back to Foot Problems

The primary cause of foot problems and related conditions is skeletal imbalance. Most people have some degree of hyperpronation (flat feet) or hypersupination (high arches). These structural imperfections cause a certain amount of instability during foot function, subjecting the foot to excessive stress and strain that can eventually cause pain and deformities. The greater the imbalance, the earlier these symptoms will become evident a greater their intensity. Orthotics compensate for the inherent imbalances in the foot, improving function and relieving or preventing the appearance of such symptoms.
