Flat feet occur when the arches of the feet collapse, leading to pain, instability, and even knee or back issues. Symptoms may include foot fatigue, pain in the arch or heel, and difficulty standing for long periods.

Treatment options include:

Custom orthotics to provide arch support
Strengthening exercises to improve foot and ankle stability
Supportive footwear to reduce pain
Physical therapy to correct posture and gait

If flat feet are causing you discomfort, consider seeing a podiatrist for a personalized treatment plan.
