Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son is 24 years old and very active and is not overweight. He has had flat feet all of his life. It became really noticable when he played football. The pants made it very obvious that his knees kind of turned in. He went to a doctor and got inserts for his shoes which seemed to help some but now he is suffering from constant back pain. I am just trying to figure out what kind of doctor I should take him to. Orthopedic, Back doctor or foot doctor.
Dear caring father Your son is suffering from flat foot for which he is advice shoes with insole and is good for him. But since he is getting contact back pain which might be related to flat foot he should be further investigated. You should take him to orthopaedic surgeon.
