Arch
Problem
If You Have an Arch Problem, You Could Have
Flat Feet
Your feet are the foundation of your body, allowing
you to drive a car, helping you glide along the dance
floor, giving you the freedom to move from place to
place. So when your feet are out of alignment, your
body’s entire skeletal structure feels the effects.
If you have an arch problem, such as intense arch pain,
you could be developing flat feet, a condition that
occurs when the arch of your foot becomes fully collapsed
or rolls inward. People with flat feet are missing crucial
arch support, and thus develop an arch problem when
they are forced to shift pressure from walking to other
parts of the foot.
How an Arch Problem Can Turn Into Flat Feet
Though flat feet can be a hereditary condition, it can
also develop as a symptom of foot abuse.
Weakened muscles due to aging or heavy strain placed
on the feet can cause an arch problem, and later flat
feet.
Standing or walking for long periods in high heels can
cause an arch problem, and later flat feet.
Wearing shoes that don’t provide proper arch support
can cause an arch problem, and later flat feet.
The biggest sign of flat fleet is clearly an arch problem,
most notably discomfort and pain in the arch region.
As the normal arch begins to drop, walking can become
very uncomfortable and painful. The foot can also turn
outward at the ankle, causing a walk that’s concentrated
on the inner border of the foot.
Due to the less supportive structure of a flat foot,
postural strain and misalignment through the foot, ankle,
knee and lower back can cause consistent daily discomfort
and pain.
But an arch problem isn’t the only sign of flat
feet. This condition can also lead to heel spurs, ankle
sprains, hip and lower back pain and even contribute
to the development of arthritis. Why? The depression
of the arch in the foot puts more strain on the ligament
and tendons that support the foot and ankle, and –
over time – the bones may collapse.
Good Arch Support Can
Help Relieve an Arch Problem
In most people, the arch problem (pain) associated with
flat feet can be treated with proper shoes. If you want
to curb an arch problem before it can develop into flat
feet, look for shoes that offer good arch support and
stability, and/or use insoles that help support and
stabilize the heel. Also, consider using custom orthotics
to help support the arch and ease an arch problem.
In extreme cases, surgery may be required
to stabilize the bones, improve foot support and function
and ease a more serious arch problem. A podiatrist or
orthopedic doctor will decide if surgery is necessary.
