A biomechanical defect of the foot can be responsible for pain in the foot, ankle, leg, knee, hip and lower back.
No specific cause of pain can be identified in up to 85% of people with low back pain, despite a thorough medical examination.
Low back pain may be acute (short-term), lasting less than one month, or chronic (long-term, continuous), lasting longer than three months.
While getting acute back pain more than once is common, continuous long-term pain is not.

Hip pain is a common symptom experienced by many people.
This condition can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that limits activities of daily living.

A biomechanical defect of the foot is sometimes responsible for hip pain.
The nerves that provide sensation to the knee come from the lower back and also provide hip, leg, and ankle sensation.
Pain from a deeper injury (called referred pain) can be passed along the nerve to be felt on the surface.
Knee pain, therefore, can arise from the knee itself or be referred from conditions of the hip, ankle, or lower back.

The term shin splints usually applies to pain in the front of the leg, occurring anywhere between the ankle and the knee. However, it can also refer to pain in the inner side of the lower leg. The pain in both of these areas is usually initiated by walking, running, or jumping. In extreme cases one can have pain in these areas while just standing still.
The main cause of these injuries is pronation. This is a biomechanical defect of the foot that is sometimes responsible for pain in the foot, ankle, leg, knee, hip, and lower back.
When pronation is present, the muscles overwork in an attempt to maintain the foot in a normal alignment with the leg. When this normal alignment is not maintained, then the foot becomes unstable.
This instability of the foot cause more stress on the leg muscles. This continued "overusage" by the leg muscles will cause pain, swelling, tears within the muscle, and eventually the muscle will tear away from the shin, or stress fractures will occur.

OVER PRONATION:
Excessive inward roll of the foot after landing. The foot continues to roll when it should be pushing off. This twists the foot, shin and knee and can cause pain in all those areas.
SUPINATION:
Insufficient inward roll of the foot after landing. This places extra stress on the foot and can result in iliotibial band syndrome of the knee, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis.
