Let's talk about "Flat
Feet"
As you can guess, the biggest signs of flat fleet are discomfort and pain. As
the normal arch begins to drop, walking can become very uncomfortable. The foot
can also turn outward at the ankle, causing a walk thats concentrated on
the inner boarder of the foot. Left untreated, flat feet not only cause pain,
but can lead to other more serious foot and lower body joint problems.
Postural strain and misalignment through the foot, ankle, knee and lower back
can cause consistent daily discomfort. Keeping feet and lower body in proper
alignment absolutely helps relieve pain in heels, knees, legs and lower back.
The depression of the arch in the foot also puts more strain on the ligament
and tendons that support the foot and ankle, and over time, the bones may
collapse.
Flat feet can lead to heel spurs, ankle sprains, hip and lower back pain, and
even contribute to the development of arthritis.
What Causes Flat Feet?
- Flat feet can be present at birth or develop at an early age, and are
often hereditary.
- Flat feet develop as symptom of foot abuse caused by weakened muscles due
to aging or heavy strain placed on the feet.
- Standing or walking for long periods in high heels.
- Wearing shoes that dont provide proper arch support.
In extreme cases, surgery may be
required to stabilize the bones and improve foot support and function, but most
feet can be helped with proper fitting shoes - custom arch supports are the
answer for many feet.
