Hyperextension injuries can occur from repeated slamming on the brake, using a shovel, or even walking without enough support. It ends up as long term arthritis, which hurts.
If this happens to you, or you feel pain in this area of your foot, first get sturdy shoes (shoes where the soles don’t twist) & some arch supports and we can evaluate you for custom orthotics & other treatments.
Hyperextension injuries to the midfoot on the football and soccer fields can result in the same foot injury from the pedal during a car accident. This motion can result in a dislocation at the midfoot. Left untreated, this can lead to significant instability, degeneration and disability. Many times, surgery is the only option to restore the alignment in this joint. Go
to a foot and ankle specialist - see your podiatrist!
