Flat feet is a common foot condition that affects a significant percentage of the population. This blog aims to provide a better understanding of the condition, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management
1. Pain in the feet, ankles, and legs, especially after standing or walking for long periods.
2. Swelling or stiffness in the feet.
3. A tendency to overpronate (roll the foot inward).
4. Difficulty finding shoes that fit properly.
Real-life scenarios where flat feet can be a problem include standing for long periods, running or exercising, and wearing shoes that don't provide proper arch support.
Living with flat feet can impact daily life, as it may require making adjustments to accommodate the condition. Proper footwear with good arch support and cushioning can help alleviate pain and discomfort. Stretching and strengthening exercises may also be recommended to improve foot and ankle function. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, and avoiding prolonged periods of standing or walking can help manage symptoms.
