Flat Feet

Overview of Flat Feet
Flat feet, a condition where the arches of the feet are flattened, is a common issue that can lead to discomfort and impact overall foot health. This condition means that the entire sole of the foot makes contact with the ground when standing, which can affect foot function.

 

Causes and Types
Flat feet can be congenital (present from birth) or can develop over time due to weakened arches, injuries, or wear and tear. The condition can range from being asymptomatic to causing significant discomfort and mobility issues.

Symptoms to Watch For
Signs of flat feet include visible flattening of the arch, foot pain, particularly in the heel or arch area, and possible swelling along the inside of the ankle. It can also lead to alignment issues with the legs, causing discomfort.
