Can Flat-footedness Cause Prolonged Headaches?
My daughter has been struggling for 2 months with severe headaches. We have had all the major checkups, scans, etc. She recently saw the podiatrist because all my children have flat feet and he has fitted an instep into her shoe. Is there a possibility that flat-footedness can cause such prolongued headaches/what type of headache do you normally see with flat footed patients?

There is no correlation between flat foot and headache. only two types of headache are most common tension headache and migraine. no scan will diagnose these. just consult a pain physician or neurologist for correct diagnosis based on proper history and examination. For acute pain take naproxen for symptomatic relief.
