What Is Overpronation, And How Does It Affect Your Knees?
Key Takeaways They work by correcting faulty foot alignment to reduce abnormal forces traveling up the leg and lower the mechanical load on your knee joint, thereby preventing or reducing knee pain and osteoarthritis progression. Orthotics offload stressed knee compartments and reduce focal joint irritation from walking and standing by redistributing pressure across the foot […]
How Do Custom Orthotics Reduce Knee Joint Stress?
Key Takeaways They work by correcting faulty foot alignment to reduce abnormal forces traveling up the leg and lower the mechanical load on your knee joint, thereby preventing or reducing knee pain and osteoarthritis progression. Orthotics offload stressed knee compartments and reduce focal joint irritation from walking and standing by redistributing pressure across the foot […]
Can Flat Feet Cause Chronic Knee Pain?
Key Takeaways Flat feet alter your foot biomechanics and heighten knee strain by facilitating overpronation and internal tibial rotation, increasing the likelihood of medial knee cartilage injury and osteoarthritis. Have a clinician check alignment early before it progresses. Collapsed arches and ankle overpronation shift your weight inward and transform the tibiofemoral angle, resulting in knee […]
