Approximately 80% of all adults have some form of foot problem, conditions which can vary from bunions to heel spurs.
The most common foot problem usually doesn’t cause foot pain. It’s called excessive pronation (fallen arches), and it develops due to the aging process, changes in weight (e.g., pregnancy and obesity), active lifestyles on unforgiving surfaces, etc. It’s important for healthcare providers to identify excessive pronation since this condition contributes to ligament injuries in the knees, lower back pain, hip dysfunction, functional scoliosis, and much more.
Another key foot problem, though more rare, is excessive supination. It causes a tightness in the foot joints and muscles that affects the foot’s shock-absorbing abilities. The long-term effects of supination can be quite debilitating, including degenerative arthritis and even stress fractures.
Your body is an interconnected system of specialized parts, and the support structure which holds everything together is made up of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Even if your feet don’t hurt, they may be contributing to your overall postural balance. Listed below are some common conditions that can be affected by foot problems:
