Flatfoot Treatment
If you’re experiencing foot pain, custom orthotics might be the solution you need. At Holland Foot and Ankle, we offer expertly designed, prescription orthotics tailored to your unique foot structure to provide comfort, support, and long-lasting relief.
What is Flat Foot?
Flatfoot is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, causing the entire sole to touch the ground. This deformity can occur in both children and adults, often progressing over time if not addressed. In adults, flatfoot is frequently caused by the weakening or tearing of the tendon that supports the arch. Without intervention, this condition can worsen, leading to further degeneration, chronic pain, and difficulty walking or standing for extended periods.
Why Early Intervention Matters
Flatfoot often doesn’t correct itself in adulthood. Seeing a podiatrist at the first sign of pain or discomfort is essential to prevent long-term damage. If left untreated, the tendon that supports the arch can stretch or tear, making the condition more difficult to manage. Early intervention can:
Relieve pain.
Prevent the progression of deformities.
Protect the structures of your foot from wear and tear.
