Enjoy a Pain-Free Life with High-Quality Podiatry Care
Are you one of the many people who have flat feet or fallen arches? Does your child have flat feet? If so, you’re in the right place. Forsyth Foot & Ankle Associates offers high-quality flatfoot treatment in Cumming, GA.
Did you know all babies are born with flat feet? As a baby grows and begins to walk, their arch typically rises as the muscles in the feet develop. However, in about 20% of the population, their arch never rises. If you have flat feet, your arch remains close to the ground because your tendons are looser than they are in someone without flat feet.
Types of Flatfoot
There are two main types of flatfoot: congenital and acquired. Congenital flatfoot is present since birth and typically doesn’t cause a lot of symptoms, while acquired flatfoot or fallen arches typically cause pain and discomfort as the ankle starts to sag inward.
Symptoms of Flatfoot
Many people who have flat feet never experience symptoms. However, if you have flat feet and do experience symptoms, they may include:
- Tired or achy feet after you stand or play sports
