Flatfoot Treatments

Flatfoot Treatment

If you experience symptoms with flexible flatfoot, the flexible flatfoot surgeon may recommend non-surgical treatment options.

  • Activity Modifications: Cut down on activities that bring you pain and avoid prolonged walking and standing to give your arches a rest.
  • Weight Loss: If you are overweight, try to lose weight. Putting too much weight on your arches may aggravate your symptoms.
  • Orthotic Devices: Your foot and ankle surgeon can provide you with custom orthotic devices for your shoes to give more support to the arches.
  • Immobilization: In some cases, it may be necessary to use a walking cast or to completely avoid weight-bearing.
  • Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, help reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Physical Therapy: Ultrasound therapy or other physical therapy modalities may be used to provide temporary relief.
  • Shoe Modifications: Wearing shoes that support the arches is important for anyone who has flatfoot. Bespoke orthotics made by our podiatrist can resolve flat feet or prevent progression of the foot deformity.

When is flatfoot surgery necessary?

In some patients whose pain is not adequately relieved by other treatments, surgery may be considered. A variety of surgical techniques is available to correct flexible flatfoot and one or a combination of procedures may be required to relieve the symptoms and improve foot function.
