Leg
Fatigue
Leg fatigue is devoted to one of the most common
patient complaints encountered by practitioners of adult medicine,
and one that frequently presents the initial examining physician
with a diagnostic conundrum. Few internists, primary care physicians,
emergency room physicians, or medical or surgical subspecialists
are thoroughly familiar with the neurologic, orthopedic, immunologic,
and vascular causes of leg fatigue, and help from the literature
requires access to multiple texts from diverse medical and surgical
specialties.

How
can Orthotics help my leg fatigue?
Lower leg fatigue may be induced through foot
pronation. Pronation of the foot causes a general muscle
imbalance to occur. As your feet pronate, your leg is no longer
aligned properly, so your leg and foot muscles must work harder
to give you the support usually provided by your bones. The muscles
fatigue, causing pain and discomfort. Your feet are your foundation.
Without a good foundation, the other joints and muscle groups in
your body suffer. Therefore, leg fatigue may be directly related
to pronated feet. |
