Flat Feet

Flatfoot is a condition where the entire, or nearly the entire, bottom of your foot touches the floor when you stand. For some patients, the arch simply never fully developed during childhood. For others, the arch collapses over time due to wear and tear, injury, or a progressive condition known as posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD). While some people with flat feet never experience discomfort, others suffer from severe, aching pain in the heel, arch area, or even the ankle and lower leg.

Conservative Treatment Options If your flat feet are causing you pain or making it difficult to walk, it is important to seek professional care. We typically begin with conservative treatments to alleviate stress on the foot and provide the necessary support. These options may include custom orthotics to accommodate and correct your foot's position, specialized bracing, targeted stretching, or recommending more supportive footwear.

By combining leading-edge surgical techniques with compassionate care, we bring a uniquely precise approach to surgical reconstruction and biomechanics. Whether your condition is caused by a sports injury, chronic strain, or complex structural issues, we provide expert, patient-centered care designed to restore your mobility and improve your quality of life.
