Brief Answer:
Please see detailed answer
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Flat feet, or fallen arches, can lead to foot pain, instability, and increased risk of certain foot conditions. To manage flat feet, consider the following:
1. Supportive footwear: Wear shoes with good arch support and cushioning.
2. Orthotic inserts: Consider using arch-supporting inserts or custom-made orthotics.
3. Physical therapy: Engage in exercises and stretches to strengthen foot and ankle muscles.
4. Motion-control shoes: Look for shoes designed to control pronation and provide stability.
5. Ankle strengthening exercises: Strengthen the muscles around the ankles to enhance stability.
6. Stretching: Perform regular stretches targeting the calves, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia.
7. Footwear modifications: Use shoes with good arch support, cushioning, and consider adding heel cups or orthotic inserts.
8. Please visit orthopedic surgeon, because in some cases with surgery, flat foot can be normalised.
I Hope Your Query is clear now.
Thank You
