Understanding Flat Feet: What You Need to Know

Flat feet, also known as fallen arches or pes planus, is a condition in which the arches of the feet are either absent or significantly lowered. This can result in the entire sole of the foot making contact with the ground when standing. Flat feet can be present from birth or develop over time due to various factors such as genetics, injury, obesity, or aging. Individuals with flat feet may experience discomfort, pain, and issues with mobility.
