Flat feet don’t always mean there’s a problem.

Many people have little or no arch and never experience discomfort. If your feet are pain-free and not affecting how you move, treatment usually isn’t necessary.

But if you’re dealing with foot pain, fatigue, or difficulty staying active, it’s worth having a podiatrist take a closer look. In some cases, flat feet can lead to long-term strain on the ankles, knees, or back.

Not sure if your flat feet need attention? Find a podiatrist near you and get the right guidance.

Access to timely, specialized foot and ankle care is essential at every stage of life. Yet insurance policies and healthcare systems often fail to recognize the value of podiatric care.

When podiatrists are empowered, patient outcomes improve and the entire healthcare system benefits.

Not all shoes are created equal. If your child’s footwear leaves red marks, causes tripping, or prompts complaints of foot pain, it’s time for a better fit.
