Supination is a common health condition whereby the angles of the feet or ankles are slightly curved inward. It\u2019s a much more common condition than you might have thought, and it\u2019s commonly seen as a repetitive strain injury in people who spend a lot of time on their feet or take a lot of strain to their ankles \u2013 this can include waiters, competitive runners, parachutists and sometimes even ballet dancers who have seen too much strain to their feet
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you suffer from supination, it\u2019s best to correct the condition as soon as you can using small lifestyle changes \u2013 if not, the condition can degenerate to the point where it requires a strict combination of surgery and these lifestyle changes to fix.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symptoms can be an obvious curve, or they can sometimes be more subtle than this.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 8 signs that you might suffer from the supination of the feet.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Inflammation of the Knee<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Signs that you have inflammation <\/a>of the knee are usually easy to spot: The knee will be painful, swollen and sometimes red \u2013 this can be worsened by stepping on the knee, and some might even find that getting out of a warm bath and stepping on the knee worsens the inflammation and changes it to a throbbing or stabbing pain instead.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any kind of knee inflammation, it\u2019s important to track down the root cause: Sometimes it can be dietary factors, such as acidic foods that are causing gout. Other times it can be because of other factors that put a strain on the knee, like a knee injury, sprain or commonly supination of the feet.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it\u2019s due to the supination of the feet, it\u2019s the foot and ankle imbalance causing the inflammation of the knee \u2013 and correcting the supination will usually help the inflammation to go down, too.

2. Pain in the Neck<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pain in the neck can be because of different factors, many of which aren\u2019t really related to your neck at all \u2013 and any type of neck pain warrants a visit to your doctor for this reason. As one example, sometimes pain in the neck can be a precursor to a heart attack if it\u2019s combined with other symptoms like chest tightness, pain in the chest and sometimes numbness <\/a>or pain shooting down the arm \u2013 sometimes left, sometimes right.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When pain in the neck is frequent, it\u2019s because of repetitive strain that\u2019s putting too much tension on the neck. With supination, it\u2019s almost always the angle of the foot causing neck pain. If that doesn\u2019t make sense, you should realize that craning your neck can affect your feet \u2013 and if your feet aren\u2019t stepping as they should, the rest of your body will try to compensate for it, causing a cycle.

3. Back Pain<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Back pain <\/a>can be one of the first signs that you are suffering from supination of the feet, or starting to experience the first signs and symptoms. When your back pain becomes frequent and chronic, you should try to find the root cause of what\u2019s behind the pain \u2013 it could be everything from the bed you\u2019re sleeping on at night through to the way you walk; interestingly, both of those things can cause supination of the feet.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason supination of the feet will manifest with back pain is because of the fact that when the body\u2019s walk or gait is \u201coff\u201d, the rest of the body will tense up and try to find a balance \u2013 in turn, this strains your muscles, and will undoubtedly eventually hurt your back.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your back pain is due to supination, fixing the curve of your step should be able to remedy the pain.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Angling of the Foot<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the first signs that people with supination <\/a>of the feet will experience is the angling of the foot, usually inward; this is the defining symptom of the supination of the feet, and it\u2019s what the condition will eventually cause. One of the most important things to remember with supination of the feet \u2013 and the angling of the foot or ankle \u2013 is that you might not really notice it at first: The symptom might be slight, or it might only be in one foot \u2013 and you\u2019ll be experiencing the other symptoms of supination instead.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, the ankle of the foot will worsen \u2013 and this is where supination becomes physically noticeable. The moment you notice a combination of any of the symptoms on this list, you should make an appointment with your doctor to discuss possible foot supination, even if you don\u2019t see the obvious angling of the foot just yet.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Pain in the Ankles<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pain in the ankles is one of the first ways in which supination of the feet will start to affect the body; this might happen in combination with many (or most) of the other symptoms that have been mentioned on this list, or it might happen on its own in the earlier stages of supination.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are experiencing any kind of pain or strained feeling in your ankles, you should find the cause \u2013 whether it\u2019s walking, running, standing on your feet or the wrong kind of shoes; these are all factors that can eventually cause<\/em> supination instead of just being a symptom.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain in the ankles can be relieved by wearing ankle guards, although any worsening of pain and circulation <\/a>should be reported to your doctor immediately since it might make the condition worse \u2013 or be something else.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain in the ankles can<\/em> be treated by treating supination first.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Pain in the Ball of the Foot<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When starting to experience pain along with the ball of the foot, or along the actual \u201ccurve\u201d of the foot, it\u2019s almost always a sign that you\u2019re putting too much strain <\/a>on your feet in some or other way. This can be because you\u2019re wearing the wrong type of shoes \u2013 ones that don\u2019t fit your feet, or ones that have already taken on the individual shape of your foot \u2013 or it can be because you\u2019re walking in the wrong way for your body.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, both of these things can be factors that make supination worse; if and when this happens to you, the best course of action is to make an appointment with your doctor: They can find the root cause and help to direct you towards the best course of action to reduce the strain that\u2019s put on the foot, ankles, legs or back.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correcting supination can usually correct further issues.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7.A Different Gait<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you experience that you are suddenly walking in a different way to how you normally would, or you notice that the way you normally place your pressure when you walk has changed, then it could be one of the first possible signs of the supination of the feet. You should look for a combination of any of the symptoms on this list if you suspect that it could be supination, and as the condition grows more advanced, it\u2019s bound to change the way that you walk over time.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A different gait <\/a>can be noticed in a few ways \u2013 usually strain in certain parts of the body, or by noticing that the wear on shoes you\u2019ve had for years have suddenly changed. It might not start with the angling of the ankle or foot as a first symptom. Correcting a different gait is done with conscious walking changes and heel inserts.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Seeming Clumsiness<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An increase in clumsiness<\/a> is something that almost everyone is bound to notice about themselves when it happens, although it\u2019s also one of the things that people will easily ignore. When you start to experience a lack of balance and feel like you\u2019re tripping over things more often even when there\u2019s nothing to trip over, it could be supination of the feet causing it.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combined with other symptoms on this list, feeling more clumsy than usual can be potential signs of supination \u2013 and mean that you have to start making adjustments if you suspect this to be the symptom that\u2019s causing it. Usually, these adjustments are small things, like learning to walk in a different way \u2013 but they can also include heel inserts or special shoes that have been built to correct the condition.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this doesn\u2019t help the clumsiness, it can be other things, like imbalances in the ear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
