Q: What are Flat Feet?
A: Flat feet or fallen arches are a condition where little or no arch is formed at the bottom of the foot thus causing the feet to rest flat on the ground. Flat feet can be an inherited condition or an acquired condition, which develops over time. Flat feet can limit activities for some people, while others experience no difficulties. If left untreated, flat feet can lead to excessive pronation of the feet which can cause bunions, heel pain, hammertoes, shin splints, knee, hip and back pain.
