A lot of people have flat feet, and they may not necessarily have pain – at least not now. But overtime, if the foot is not functioning correctly, there could be increase stress. If it’s a rigid foot that doesn’t absorb shock, that could be a problem too down the road. With whatever foot deformity you have, that can be evaluated and there are treatments for flat feet and for high-arched feet. A lot of times we make a very custom device to manipulate your foot to function properly and reduce those stresses. Also, a lot of other structures that are indirectly connected to the foot such as the knees, the hip and the back – when the foot is not functioning correctly, there is often stress on the other joints.
