Flat Feet Are Pain Feet
Do you notice that your footprint is different looking than the other footprints you see in the sand? If so, chances are you could be a flatfooted individual.
A collapsed arch can result in flat feet, and in turn causes the base of the foot to touch the floor. Flat feet can be caused from a variety of ways.
If you are a new parent and realize that your new born or infant has flat feet, do not be alarmed because their feet won’t develop proper arches until they grew older. The arches will likely develop sometime in childhood and by early adulthood, your little Jack or Jill should have normal arches in their feet.
That being stated, someone born with flat feet might never develop proper arches. The safest explanation for this is the fact that everyone has a different makeup. Some people are tall, some are short; some people have long skinny fingers, others have short stubby ones, and the rest of us tend to fall somewhere in between. If you were born with flat feet, they may or may not cause problems later in your life. If your child complains of painful feet and they appear to be flat footed, it may be caused by a condition in which two or more of the bones in the foot have fused together. This will limit the motion allowed within the joints of the feet, and often results in a flat foot or two.
Now, if you, like most little ones, had the “normal” flat foot when you were a baby, and then developed proper arches as you grew, there is still a chance you could develop flat feet. This condition, when developed later in life tends to cause pain and possibly other symptoms, such as developing arthritis in the feet. Sadly, with so many different elements that can cause the progression of flat feet, it is a symptom difficult to avert. Some consequences could be from how a child sleeps or sits or even other deviations in the thigh or leg. More severe causes include trauma to or rupture of ligaments or tendons in the foot. Additional causes to the progression of flat feet in adults are when the posterior tibial tendon malfunctions or the Achilles tendon tightens.
For your flat feet, you should consider looking up your local podiatrist. If you have painful flat feet, don’t simply continue to walk down the beach with those funny looking footprints, call your foot doctor today for an appointment!
