FLAT FEET
Struggling with foot pain, fatigue, or discomfort when standing or walking? Flat feet (also known as fallen arches) can cause foot, ankle, knee, and even back pain due to improper alignment. At Fulshear Foot & Ankle, Dr. Kunal Amin and Dr. Yumna Siddiqui provide expert, personalized care to help you manage symptoms and improve foot function.
What Are Flat Feet?
Flat feet occur when the arches of the foot collapse, causing the entire sole to make full contact with the ground. Some people are born with flat feet, while others develop the condition due to aging, injury, obesity, or conditions like arthritis. While some cases cause no symptoms, others can lead to pain, instability, and alignment issues affecting the entire body.
Symptoms of Flat Feet
Flat feet can contribute to a variety of discomforts and mobility issues. Common symptoms include:
- Pain or aching in the feet, especially in the arch or heel
- Tired or sore feet after standing for long periods
- Swelling along the inside of the ankle
- Foot rolling inward (overpronation) when walking
- Knee, hip, or lower back pain due to misalignment
If left untreated, flat feet can lead to conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and shin splints.
