3. Flat Foot
Patient Pop
When someone is considered flatfooted, it means that they completely lack an arch on their foot, making the entire foot touch the floor when they are standing. Although most people with flatfeet are born that way, for some, it can happen due to trauma to that particular area. For some people, this causes unwanted strain to the foot, especially when they are exercising or standing for prolonged periods of time. While some patients are okay using pain relievers and a change of lifestyle to help lessen trauma to the area, others may need to seek out treatment from a foot doctor to figure out the type of treatment that will help them.
