http://www.footminders.com/ - Common types of foot pain such as plantar fasciitis (heel pain), heel spurs, arch pain, ball of foot pain (metatarsalgia), Achilles tendon pain, and others. These are often caused by over-pronation, a lower body imbalance that is the direct result of having flat feet or fallen arches. One of the easiest and most convenient treatments to these conditions are the use of orthotic insoles with firm arch support.

Whether you suffer from over-pronation like 70% of the population, or you have a true flat foot, in both cases your poor walking pattern may contribute to a range of different complaints. As we age, poor aligment of the feet causes very common conditions such as heel pain or knee pain.

Over-pronation has different causes. Obesity, pregnancy, age or repetitive pounding on a hard surface can weaken the arch, leading to over-pronation. Over-pronation is also very common with athletes, especially runners, who most of them nowadays use orthotics inside their shoes.
