Pes Planus Foot: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and When to Seek Medical CarePes Planus, or flat feet, occurs when the foot's arch collapses, causing full or near-full sole contact with the ground. It may result from genetics, obesity, or arthritis, and commonly leads to symptoms like foot pain, swelling, and overpronation that can affect gait. Left untreated, Pes Planus can cause knee,…Pes Planus, or flat feet, occurs when the foot's arch collapses, causing full or near-full sole contact with the ground. It may result from genetics, obesity, or arthritis, and commonly leads to symptoms like foot pain, swelling, and overpronation that can affect gait. Left untreated, Pes Planus can cause knee, hip, and back pain, and may increase the risk of plantar fasciitis and osteoarthritis. Diagnosis involves physical exams and imaging, while effective management includes orthotic support, targeted exercises, and lifestyle changes. Early intervention is key to preventing chronic complications. Learn more about symptoms, treatment options, and when to seek professional advice for flat feet.

How Orthotics Aid in Lateral Ankle/Supination Injury Prevention and RecoveryUnderstanding Supination Injuries and Orthotics Supination injuries occur when there is an excessive outward roll of the foot, often leading to strain or damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Common causes include high-impact activities, anatomical imbalances, or inadequate footwear. Early symptoms might manifest as ankle pain, recurring sprains, or imbalance,…Understanding Supination Injuries and Orthotics Supination injuries occur when there is an excessive outward roll of the foot, often leading to strain or damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Common causes include high-impact activities, anatomical imbalances, or inadequate footwear. Early symptoms might manifest as ankle pain, recurring sprains, or imbalance, necessitating precise diagnosis typically through physical examination and possibly imaging. Orthotics play a key role in correcting foot alignment, reducing strain, and preventing injuries by providing crucial support and stability. The Impact of Orthotics on Supination Injuries Orthotics, especially custom ones like slimflex insoles, help realign the foot’s mechanics. They distribute weight evenly across the foot, alleviating pressure points and aiding in the correction of foot posture. This not only prevents further injury but also supports effective healing after an injury. By cushioning impact and stabilising the struct...
