Flat feet
Flat feet
Flat feet are a common, congenital, and painless problem in which patients with this condition lack curvature and arch of the foot, and when they stand, their feet touch the ground. This condition is also called flat joint because joint laxity causes the arch of the foot to disappear when standing.
People with flat feet face many problems in their joints, such as back or hip pain, pain in the knees, heels, and other parts of the body. Because in flat feet, all forces from the ground are applied to the body.
If flat feet are not treated, the ankle joints will lean inward and the knees will become crossed over time. If you have flat feet but do not have difficulty or pain in walking, you do not need treatment, but if you are in pain, you should follow some tips and get treatment. Wear special shoes that maintain the arch of the foot. If your feet are painful and stiff, treatment should be done depending on the cause of this condition.
One of the steps in treating flat feet is rest and lack of physical activity, but if this is not effective, surgery can be the last resort that reduces foot pain. One of the useful things for treating and reducing flat feet pain is stretching exercises that stretch the tendons.
