Flat Feet also known as, “Fallen Arches”, is one of the most prevalent foot conditions. The main cause is a very low or non-existent arch in the foot. Most people who suffer from flat foot condition are asymptomatic. They feel no pain and are able to enjoy normal foot and leg function. Others however, develop foot pain due to flat feet when they get older.
People diagnosed with Fallen Arches only need treatment if they cause discomfort, indicate an underlying disorder, or lead to pain elsewhere in the body. When the foot condition does cause symptoms, simple devices and exercises can help to minimize the discomfort.
