The Connection Between Plantar Fasciitis and Overpronation

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that affects many individuals, particularly those who spend long hours on their feet or participate in high-impact activities. While there are various factors that can contribute to the development of plantar fasciitis, overpronation is a significant one. If you have plantar fasciitis caused by overpronation, there are several steps you can take to alleviate your symptoms.

UNDERSTANDING OVERPRONATION

Overpronation occurs when the foot rolls too far inward while walking or running. This can cause excessive pressure on the plantar fascia, leading to inflammation and pain. 

When you have low arches, your feet are more likely to roll inward when you walk or run, causing your ankles to tilt and your knees to twist. This can put extra stress on your feet, ankles, knees, and other joints, leading to pain, discomfort, and even injuries. Overpronation can also affect your gait, making it harder for you to walk or run efficiently. 

HOW AETREX POSTED ORTHOTICS HELP

One of the most effective ways to manage overpronation and prevent plantar fasciitis is to wear supportive shoes and orthotics. Aetrex offers a wide range of orthotics and footwear designed to provide superior arch support, cushioning, and stability for people with low arches and overpronation. Orthotics that have a "20" configuration are specially designed to address overpronation and provide support to the arches of the feet. These orthotics feature a posted heel that helps control overpronation and provide balance.
