What are Flat Feet in Children?

Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, occur when the arch of the foot doesn’t develop properly. In children, flat feet are common and may not always cause discomfort. However, in some cases, the lack of a proper arch can lead to foot, ankle, or leg pain and can affect overall posture.

What are the Symptoms of Flat Feet in Children?

While many children with flat feet experience no symptoms, others may show signs such as:

► Pain in the arch, heel, or ankle
► Fatigue or discomfort after physical activities
► Difficulty wearing shoes that fit properly
► Foot or leg pain during or after walking

How Orthotics May Help Alleviate These Symptoms

Orthotics for children’s flat feet provide crucial arch support to promote healthy foot development and alignment. By encouraging the formation of a natural arch, orthotics help relieve pain, improve balance, and support posture. Early use of orthotics can prevent
long-term complications, ensuring your child can engage comfortably in activities.
