Topic: ankle pronation and supination

[max eisenberg]

i have a pronated right ankle. long story short, whats the best way to fix it?

something that has a 70% chance or better at correcting the problem would be swell.

i find it interfering with everything from walking to running and just general daily life my knees and back bother me because of it.

help?

that's a much more complicated answer than you can know.  Several specialties spend all their time on this and there is no easy answer.  For now though it's recommended to walk barefoot on irregular and dynamic environments, no orthotics, seeing a good chiro in conjunction with a good rolfer.

I will highly plug rolfing!  It worked wonders from me, including the alleviation of my sesamoiditis, which I was told (by my doctor, who I'm starting to trust less) couldn't be fixed unless I either had surgery or stayed off it for an entire year (I'm a teacher and must be on my feet all day). 

Rolfing is a bit spendy, but worth it.  Also try to find a rolfer who is also a licensed chiro.  Getting adjusted after rolfing is much easier on the body, at least from my experience.
