👣 Why Pronation vs. Supination Matters to Your Health 👣

Pronation and supination are terms you might not often consider, but they significantly impact your long-term health. These concepts are most commonly used to describe the orientation of your feet, though they can also apply to your arms, wrists, and hands.

For many, the degree of pronation and supination in their feet is subtle, while for others, it can lead to visible turning in or out of the feet, causing additional issues. When balanced, pronation and supination stabilize your gait. However, if imbalanced, they can lead to pain throughout your body, especially in your knees, hips, back, and feet.

👟 Understanding Overpronation and Underpronation:
➡️⬅️Overpronation: Your foot leans inward excessively, causing pressure on the inside of your foot, big toe, and second toe.
⬅️➡️Underpronation (Supination): Your foot leans outward excessively, often seen in those with high arches.

🔍 What to Look For:
👟Check your shoe soles. Seeing wear on the inside heel indicates overpronation; wear on the outside heel suggests underpronation.

🚨 Risks:
Imbalance in pronation can lead to joint pain, tendonitis, stress fractures, and conditions like shin splints, bunions, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, and Achilles tendonitis.

🦶 Treatment:
Orthotic Insoles: Customized based on a gait analysis to relieve pain and correct alignment.
Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises to improve muscle balance and gait.
Consult an Orthopedic Specialist: For persistent issues or associated conditions.

Don't wait for health issues to arise. If you suspect pronation or supination problems, contact us to schedule your appointment with Dr. Dickerson, our foot and ankle specialist.

Ever wondered if your injury is a sprain or a fracture? 🤔 Knowing the difference is crucial for proper treatment and recovery! Here’s a quick guide:

🔹 Sprain: This happens when ligaments (the tissues connecting bones) are stretched or torn. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and limited joint movement.

🔹 Fracture: This is a break in the bone. Symptoms often include intense pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to use the affected limb.

Both injuries can be serious, but they require different treatments. If you're unsure, it's always best to get it checked out by a professional. 🩺
