Restoring Comfort and Function for Flat Feet
Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, occur when the arches of the feet flatten out, allowing the entire sole to touch the ground. This condition can lead to discomfort and pain in the feet, ankles, and even the back.

Understanding Flat Feet:
Flat feet can be a common condition, present from childhood or developed over time due to stress on the foot’s arch. Symptoms may include pain in the foot, arch, heel, or along the inside of the ankle, and can impact balance, gait, and overall mobility.
Causes of Flat Feet:
● Genetics: A family history of flat feet can increase your risk.● Aging: The natural wear and tear over time can weaken the tendons supporting the arch.● Injury: Injuries to the foot or ankle can damage the arch.● Obesity: Excessive weight can put additional stress on the arches.● Medical Conditions: Conditions like diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis can contribute to flat feet.
Our Treatments for Flat Feet:
Non-Surgical Treatments:
● Orthotic Devices: Custom orthotics can provide support to the arches, distributing pressure more evenly.● Physical Therapy: Specific exercises can strengthen foot and ankle muscles, improving foot mechanics.● Supportive Footwear: Shoes with good arch support and a firm heel counter can help manage symptoms.● Stretching Exercises: Stretching the Achilles tendon and calf muscles can reduce discomfort.
Surgical Options:
Surgery may be considered for severe cases or when non-surgical treatments fail to relieve symptoms. Procedures can include reconstructing the arch, fusing bones, or correcting any underlying issues causing the flat feet.
