If you catch your fallen arches quickly enough, you may be able to alleviate pain and avoid complications with simple lifestyle adjustments, such as losing weight and wearing inserts. However, the best and least invasive treatment for flat feet is custom foot orthotics that support your arch and allow your foot to function normally. Dr. Zwiebel uses orthotics made of carbon-based aerospace materials that are credit-card thin, yet strong and flexible enough to support your arches. When flat feet have progressed without treatment, you also may need a walking boot that allows your tendon to heal. An arch brace helps your arch maintain a healthy position. If you have complications, such as bone spurs, fractures, or other severe damage, Dr. Zwiebel may recommend surgical correction. Raise your arches and treat your flat feet at Park East Podiatry. You can call Dr. Zwiebel’s friendly team for an appointment, or just book one yourself online.
