Flat Feet

If you’ve noticed some discomfort or pain in your feet lately, you may think that a new pair of shoes or staying off your feet might solve the problem. Sometimes, however, pain can indicate a much bigger issue such as flat feet.

At Advanced Foot and Ankle Centers of Illinois, our podiatrists offer effective solutions to flat feet. We’ve served Chicago, IL and all the surrounding areas since 2001, so you can trust our expertise as we treat your condition and provide you with relief.

How Can Advanced Foot and Ankle Centers of Illinois Help?

If you experience severe pain or discomfort in the arch of your foot, your heel, or your ankle, you may want to visit a podiatrist. He or she will inspect the arch and perform tests to see what has caused the pain.

For example, a torn tendon could be the source of your pain. In this situation, your doctor will likely recommend surgery to repair the tendon and reduce the pain.

In most cases, podiatrists prescribe a number of treatments such as:

• Physical therapy
• Icing
• Medication
• Supportive taping
• Orthotics
• Bracing

If you have pain along the inside of your foot or have any other concerns about your feet, consult with our health professionals immediately.
