What are Flat Feet?
Flat feet occur when the arches of the feet collapse or fail to develop properly, causing the soles to make full contact with the ground. This condition may be present from childhood or develop over time due to aging, injury, or strain on the tendons. Flat feet can alter your walking mechanics and lead to problems in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, or back if left untreated.
Common Symptoms of Flat Feet
- Pain in the arch, heel, or ankle
- Foot fatigue after long periods of standing or walking
- Swelling along the inside of the foot
- Difficulty standing on tiptoe
- Overpronation (ankles rolling inward when walking)
How We Treat Flat Feet
At Feet First Foot Care, our flat foot treatment plans are tailored to your specific structure and symptoms. Conservative treatments often begin with custom orthotics designed to support the arch and realign your gait. Stretching and strengthening exercises may be recommended to relieve tendon strain and improve foot function. In cases where inflammation is present, technologies like the Remy Laser can be used to reduce pain and promote tissue healing. For severe or progressive cases, surgical options may be considered to correct structural issues and restore foot stability.
