Struggling with flat feet?
Flat feet—or fallen arches—occur when the foot’s arch collapses, causing the whole sole to rest on the ground. While some people experience no symptoms, others may face:
⦁ Arch or heel pain
⦁ Swelling along the inner ankle
⦁ Difficulty standing or walking long distances
When conservative measures like orthotics, supportive shoes, or physical therapy aren’t enough, a podiatric surgeon can evaluate your foot structure and alignment. For those with persistent discomfort or biomechanical issues, surgery may:
⦁ Restore the foot’s natural arch
⦁ Relieve chronic pain
⦁ Improve gait mechanics and posture
⦁ Help you return to activities you love
Flat-foot reconstruction often combines tendon repair, bone realignment, or heel adjustments—each tailored to your condition. Although recovery may take time, the long-term benefits often include reduced joint strain and renewed mobility.
If flat feet are holding you back—or causing pain—schedule an evaluation with podiatric surgeon, Chad Brady, DPM, FACFAS today. See available appointments and schedule online at EvanstonAnytime.com or call (307) 789-9355.
