Understanding Fallen Arches
What are Fallen arches?
The condition of flat feet or fallen arches refers to a condition where the arch of the foot collapses and the entire bottom of the foot come into contact or near contact with the ground. This condition often has a childhood origin. However, flat feet in children are more likely a pad of fat under the foot rather that real fallen arches.
 Causes:
Predispositions to fallen arches are arthritis, heredity and weakened tendons. In adults, flat feet are more likely to be the result of wear and tear on the ligaments which support the foot and provide for the arch, which provides for the spring in your walk. Despite over the counter medications, it is best to consult a qualified podiatrist who will take an impression of your feet and a support insole will be created which will shape your foot to correspond to the support that the ligaments in the foot would have normally provided.
Treatments:
Treatment is conducted in different ways. Going bare foot on terrain that gives the foot muscles a good work out like sand, is a good treatment method for those with extremely flat feet. Insoles can also be used to treat flat feet.
