A common and usually painless condition, flatfeet may occur when the arches don't develop during childhood. In other cases, flatfeet may develop after an injury or from the simple wear-and-tear stresses of age.
No treatment is necessary for flatfeet if you aren't experiencing any pain.
If your flatfeet are painful, your doctor might suggest:
-Arch supports (orthotic devices). Over-the-counter arch supports may help relieve the pain caused by flatfeet. Or your doctor might suggest custom-designed arch supports, which are molded to the contours of your feet. Arch supports won't cure flatfeet, but they often reduce symptoms.
-Stretching exercises. Some people with flatfeet also have a shortened Achilles tendon.
-Exercises to stretch this tendon may help.
-Proper shoe wear. A structurally supportive shoe may be better tolerated than sandals or shoes with minimal support.
