Understanding Flat Feet: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, occur when the arches of the feet flatten out and the entire sole makes contact with the ground. This condition can be congenital, meaning it’s present from birth, or it can develop over time due to factors like aging, injury, or certain medical conditions.
When the arches are not properly supporting your weight, it can lead to a range of symptoms including pain in the feet, ankles, knees, and lower back. You might also experience swelling, fatigue, and difficulty finding comfortable shoes. In severe cases, flat feet can affect your gait, potentially causing problems with balance and mobility.
Our experienced chiropodists provide a thorough assessment of your condition. We evaluate the alignment of your feet and how they impact your overall posture and movement. Based on this assessment, we develop a tailored treatment plan that may include custom-made orthotics to provide better arch support, physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around your feet, and specific exercises to improve your foot mechanics.
We also offer advice on proper footwear and lifestyle adjustments that can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications. Our goal is to help you manage your flat feet effectively, reducing pain and improving your quality of life.
