Treating Flat Feet
Our team has a vast amount of experience in treating flat feet. We always consider conservative, non-surgical treatments first. Some conservative options may include support inserts in shoes, physical therapy, stretching exercises, and changing the style of shoes worn. If these non-surgical options do not bring about the desired result, foot surgery may be recommended to relieve the pain.
