The ailments below are some of the most commonly experienced foot conditions. PowerStep® Orthotic Insoles can help alleviate and even prevent some of these issues from developing.

Plantar Fasciitis

• The most common foot problem
• Overstretching of the fibrous plantar aponeurosis
• Creates edema (swelling) and moderate to severe pain

Pronation

Excessive pronation does not allow the foot to land squarely and stabilize its movement, creating many foot problems including:

• Ankle pain and joint deformity 
• Hammertoes
• Calluses
• Neuromas
• Haglund’s deformity (pump bump)
• Ankle and knee pain

Bunions

• Partial dislocation of 1st metatarsal/phalangeal (big toe) joint
• Produced by jamming and buckling of joint
• Tailor bunion is same condition adjacent to 5th toe

Hammertoes

• Toes deform and lose flexibility
• May eventually lose ability to straighten

Haglund’s Deformity

• Commonly known as pump bump
• Caused by improper footwear, biomechanical imbalances or trauma

Calluses

• Uneven distribution of weight on the ball of the foot
• May cause ulcerations in diabetics due to neuropathy

Morton’s Neuroma

• Neuroma is a very painful condition often caused by irritated, enlarged plantar nerves.
• Most people can relieve this condition by switching to more comfortable shoes and leveraging insoles.
