Treatment Options For Flat Feet
November 29, 2018
Some individuals are born without an arch in their feet, which is what is known as flat feet. In some cases, patients never experience any problems because of the flat feet. Others can suffer from foot pain, calf pain, knee pain, hip pain, and lower back pain. This is caused by strain on the muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments in the feet. Strain means they pull awkwardly on the muscles connected to the feet, which can throw someone's whole body out of alignment, thus causing pain in other areas. Having no arch in the feet causes the body’s weight to be unevenly distributed. Thankfully, there are several ways to help alleviate the symptoms.
