What Are Flat Feet?

 

What Are Flat Feet?

Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, occur when the arches of the feet collapse or fail to form properly, causing the entire sole of the foot to touch the ground. Flat feet can be:

  • Flexible (arch appears when non-weight-bearing)

  • Rigid (arch is always absent)

  • Congenital (present from birth)

  • Acquired (develop later due to injury, arthritis, or wear and tear)

While some people have flat feet with no symptoms, others may develop significant pain and posture-related issues.

Symptoms of Flat Feet

  • Foot pain, especially in the arch or heel

  • Swelling along the inside of the ankle

  • Fatigue in the feet or legs after standing or walking

  • Difficulty wearing standard shoes

  • Knee, hip, or lower back pain due to misalignment

If you're experiencing discomfort or imbalance, flat feet may be the underlying cause—and a professional evaluation can help.

Expert Flat Foot Treatment with Dr. Kent Jarvis

At Vital Foot and Ankle, Dr. Jarvis begins with a full examination, gait analysis, and imaging (if needed) to assess the cause and severity of your flat feet. Based on your condition and lifestyle, he may recommend:

✅ Non-Surgical Treatment Options:

  • Custom orthotics to support the arch and improve alignment

  • Supportive footwear guidance to reduce strain

  • Stretching and strengthening exercises

  • Anti-inflammatory medications to relieve discomfort

  • Physical therapy for gait training and posture correction

✅ Surgical Intervention:

If pain persists or structural issues worsen, surgical treatment may be considered. Procedures can include tendon repair, osteotomy, or joint fusion, depending on the patient’s specific condition.

Dr. Jarvis prioritizes conservative care first, with surgery only recommended when absolutely necessary.
