Flat foot is a condition where the longitudinal arch or instep of the foot collapses and comes in contact with the ground. In infants and toddlers, the longitudinal arch is not developed and flat feet are normal. In some individuals, the longitudinal arch never develops. Common symptoms include a flat look to one or both of your feet, uneven shoe wear and collapse of your shoe toward the inside of your flat foot, lower leg pain, pain on the inside of your ankle, swelling along the inside of your ankle, and foot pain. The most effective means of controlling flat foot are custom molded orthotics. The best way to find out if orthotics can help you is to make an appointment with us for an exam!
