Displaying items by tag: flat feet

When one too many isn’t good…

Some kids have an extra bone near their arch that can become painful. The extra bone can be on one foot or both. Of course, the extra bone stays with you for life.

Most people who have this extra bone have flatter arches, otherwise known as flatfeet. The extra bone can be prominent enough that shoes will rub on it.

If a parent brings a child in because of pain in the arches, we always take x-rays to determine if an extra bone is part of the problem.

Custom inserts (orthotics) that raise the arches and prevent the heels from turning in are often the best solution.

Surgery is only necessary if the condition is severe.

Addressing any pain in a child’s feet early on can help to prevent problems in adulthood.

An adult’s arch pain could also be from an extra bone.

Custom orthotics are just as effective for adults as they are for kids.

Wearing shoes with a sturdy heel counter (the back of the shoe) can help to relieve this type of pain. We specialize in making orthotics for kids and adults who have arch pain from an extra bone or any other reason.
