Flatfeet is a common disorder that effects the arch of your feet, also known as fallen arches. While orthotic insoles or gel padding may help reduce some of the potential problems, it is wise to have a professional diagnose the condition to avoid further damage to your feet. Dr. Mayer Salama and Dr. Daniel Salama specialize in routine podiatry, treatment and surgery.
Chances are you had an injury that caused your arches to fall but here are other reasons why people develop flat feet. Weight gain is a culprit along with aging, two things we could do without. It is very beneficial to treat this condition so that other problems do not take over.
The most common symptom of flat feet is pain, especially in the arch of the foot. The arches give spring to our step and distribute the bodies weight across the feet. If the foot lies flat as we walk, then other problems can arise.
