How to correct pronation of the foot arch

Correction of clubfoot is determined on a patient-by-patient basis and generally consists of conservative and surgical treatments. The correction method varies from person to person and should follow the doctor’s advice. 1. Conservative treatment: It can be corrected by orthopedic shoes and orthopedic braces, and massage and acupressure can also reduce the symptoms. In case of developmental inversion of the foot arch, more exercises should be done in the early stage, and the inversion training should be carried out actively so as to make the inner and outer muscle strength balanced. 2. Surgical treatment: If conservative treatment fails to correct the problem and seriously affects the quality of life, surgical treatment should be considered. Surgical treatment mainly includes medial soft tissue release surgery and osteotomy and orthopedic surgery. Medial soft tissue release surgery loosens the soft tissue factors that cause pronation. Osteotomies and orthopedic surgeries are suitable for patients with bony deformities, and the joints are fixed by osteotomies to make the joints back to normal angles. Secondary hallux valgus should be corrected by treating the primary cause and then correcting the bone condition. It is recommended to go to regular hospitals in time to find out the cause of foot inversion and actively cooperate with doctors.
