Having flat feet is not inherently bad for your health and is common. Many people with flat feet experience little to no symptoms or complications. However, some may develop problems like pain, poor posture, or difficulty with certain physical activities.

Flat feet treatment:

  • If there are no symptoms or complications, treatment is not needed.
  • For mild symptoms, supportive footwear, or custom orthotics can help.
  • Severe cases may need more attention, but surgery is only considered for structural corrections.
