Flat Foot - Do I Really Have One

[Beulamary]

A flat foot is known medically as pes planus. This Fungus Hacks Review occurs when the rounded arch on the inner side of the sole of the foot does not exist...or disappears and collapses upon standing. It is the most common reason many doctors prescribe arch supports. There are two main recognized types of flat foot. In the first, flexible flat foot, the arch disappears when standing, but an arch can be seen when the pressure is released or the foot is at rest. In the second, rigid flat foot, no rounded arch can be seen even when the foot is at rest.

Individuals with flat feet frequently have a problem with overpronation. During overpronation the arch is usually flat and the ankle turns inward. This places a lot of pressure on the muscles and ligaments of the foot and can eventually lead to pain in the arch, elsewhere in the foot, knees, hips, or lower back as it affects the mechanics of the walking cycle. Shoe selection is extremely important for people who experience foot pain. Your footwear choice can be a cause of your pain. Place your shoe on a flat table and stand behind it looking at eye level. A flat foot will often cause more wear on the inside part of the sole in the heel area and cause the upper part of the shoe to lean inward over the sole. If this is happening you likely have a flat foot. Check both shoes to see the wear pattern.

Many people with flexible flat foot never develop any symptoms. There are, however, a lot of people who do as well. The condition is often due to a general looseness of ligaments and can be relative throughout the body. It can also be caused due to a joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, or as muscles get weaker and ligaments looser as people get older. It is usually effectively corrected with an arch support/foot orthotic device.

Approximately 25% of Americans have flat feet. This can cause aching feet, knee pain, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, knee trouble, hip and back pain, etc. Some people will have no problems, but others will find the pain can be debilitating.If you are experiencing foot pain, you may want to see if you can determine your arch type. There are a couple ways to do this. After you get out of the shower or swimming pool, take a look at your wet footprint paying special attention to the part between your heel and the ball of the foot. If the strip is the same width all the way through the arch of your foot, you most likely have a flat foot or fallen arch. If the strip is approximately half the width of your forefoot (across the ball of your foot) you probably have a normal arch. If the strip is very thin and only a thin strip of the little toe side of the foot can be seen (or none at all) you most likely have a high arch. This can work in the sand at the beach as well.
