Biomechanics – Excessive Pronation Syndrome
Because the feet are the very foundation from which all other joints align, it is easy to understand why even subtle faulty biomechanics of the lower extremities – principally, I maintain, excessive pronation of the feet – can cause a domino effect of stresses and strains on every joint of the body, literally from toe to head. This in turn will predispose a patient to an acceleration of the aging process that can include advanced arthritis, and can affect myriad muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. What this means is that treatment of a great number of musculoskeletal problems is simply not complete unless the practitioner has considered faulty biomechanics of the feet, ankles and lower leg as the root cause. In many cases where medicine is prescribed to cover pain, where conservative management of heel spurs, chodromalacia patella, hip pain lower back pain, herniated discs that do not improve, failed back syndrome and other conditions related to excessive pronation of the feet, the practitioner has not looked at lower-extremity biomechanics.
