Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, can lead to discomfort, fatigue, and poor posture due to improper weight distribution and alignment. Foot orthotics offer a practical and effective solution by providing structured arch support that helps restore the natural shape of the foot. By stabilizing the heel and supporting the midfoot, orthotics can improve gait mechanics and reduce strain on surrounding muscles and joints. They also help prevent the progression of related conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and knee pain. Custom orthotics are especially beneficial as they are tailored to the individual’s foot structure, offering targeted support and enhanced comfort. If you have flat feet, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist who can determine what type of orthotics is needed to provide proper support.
