Don’t let the pain you experience from having flat feet hold you back any longer! Contact our office.
Although flat feet can be hereditary, other conditions can cause the arches in your feet to fall. For example, if you have arthritis, you may develop flat feet, since this condition, which affects your joints, can weaken the bones that stabilize your arches. Other conditions that can affect your arches and the structure of your feet include cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.
If you experience pain as a result of your flattened arches, at Abbott Foot & Ankle Clinic, we are here to help. Although there are a variety of different treatment options available to you, one of the main solutions we prescribe to our patients with flat feet are custom orthotics. Orthotics can be designed to fit the unique shape of your feet and can:
- Correct imbalances in your feet when you walk or move around
- Support your arch
- Cushion your feet exactly where you need it the most
In addition to custom orthotics, we may also show you different stretches and exercises you can use to strengthen the muscles in your feet and keep your ligaments and tendons strong and flexible. However, keep in mind that the best thing you can do to minimize the pain you experience from having flat feet is to wear well-constructed, supportive shoes.
