Understanding Flat Foot Injuries

Flat foot, also known as pes planus, is a common condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. It occurs when the arches of the feet collapse, leading to the entire sole touching the ground when standing. Flat foot injuries can cause discomfort, instability, and complications in daily activities.

Causes of Flat Foot

Flat foot injuries can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Injury or trauma to the foot
  • Obesity or excessive weight
  • Prolonged standing or walking on hard surfaces
  • Poorly-fitting footwear

Symptoms and Diagnosis

The symptoms of flat foot injuries can vary from mild to severe. Common signs include:

  • Pain or tenderness in the arch of the foot
  • Swelling along the inside of the ankle
  • Difficulty standing for extended periods
  • Irritation or discomfort when wearing shoes
  • Ankle instability

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek professional diagnosis and treatment from our experienced podiatrists at The Foot Practice.

Treatment Options

At The Foot Practice, we offer a range of effective treatment options for flat foot injuries. Our approach focuses on both symptom relief and addressing the underlying causes. Some of the treatment options we provide include:

Custom Orthotics

We specialize in designing and creating custom orthotic devices tailored to your specific foot structure. These orthotics provide support, stability, and help in correcting foot posture, alleviating pain associated with flat feet.

Physical Therapy

Our skilled podiatrists work closely with physical therapists to develop personalized rehabilitation programs. These programs include targeted exercises to strengthen foot muscles, enhance flexibility, and improve overall foot function.

Footwear Recommendations

Wearing proper footwear is essential for managing flat foot injuries. Our podiatrists can provide expert guidance on selecting shoes that offer adequate arch support, cushioning, and stability.

Medication and Injections

In some cases, medication or corticosteroid injections may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

If conservative treatments do not yield satisfactory results, our podiatrists can discuss advanced treatment options such as minimally invasive procedures or surgical interventions. Rest assured, these options will only be considered after a thorough examination and discussion of your specific condition.

Preventive Measures

In addition to treating flat foot injuries, our podiatrists can provide invaluable advice on preventive measures. These may include exercises to strengthen foot muscles, proper posture techniques, and guidance on maintaining a healthy weight.
