What causes over pronation?
Wear and Tear Strain, overuse, and wear on the muscles, ligaments, and plantar fascia (arch) of the foot can cause the foot to flatten too much–and roll inward excessively–as it strikes the ground, leading to overpronation.
Can surgery fix overpronation?
HyProCure is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that corrects the misalignment between the heel and ankle bones that causes flat feet. It involves repositioning the ankle bone on the heel bone and inserting a small, titanium stent.
Why is overpronation bad?
Overpronation puts people at an increased risk of developing specific injuries. This is because it disrupts the body’s natural alignment and causes increased impact when the foot strikes the ground. Athletes with overpronation, particularly runners, see an increased likelihood of developing overuse injuries.
Is overpronation actually bad?

How do you correct overpronation?
One of the best ways you can treat overpronation is by wearing supportive shoes. Shoes should have ample support and cushion in the sole, particularly through the heel and arch of the foot. Without proper shoes, the arch of the foot is left susceptible to strain and flattening.
What shoes are best for overpronation?
Motion control shoes, which are rigid, durable and built to control pronation, are often the best type for severe overpronation. If you only have mild pronation, then a stability shoe may be enough to keep the arch from collapsing too much while running.
Do I overpronate or underpronate?

What is overpronation and underpronation?
Underpronation means you aren’t rolling enough, while overpronation means you are rolling too much. While some pronation is natural, too much can lead to injuries including problems with your feet, hips and back. Wearing the right kind of shoe can help correct pronation problems.
