The cause of flat feet is underdeveloped or defective arches, which can be corrected. Common clinical treatments include heel correction pads, foot muscle exercise, medication, surgery, and so on.
1. Heel orthotic pads: heel orthotic insoles can share the force of the arch bone very well, and can help restore the height of the arch, which can alleviate the symptoms of flat feet. It is recommended that patients go to regular medical institutions for customized insoles.
2. Foot muscle exercise: moderate foot muscle training, toe flexion exercise, toe walking and grasping training.
3. Medication: Non-steroidal drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin can be used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment when severe pain occurs.
4. Surgical treatment: Flatfoot deformity can be corrected by soft tissue transfer repair, subtalar joint braking, heel navicular bridge resection and other ways.
It is recommended that patients with flat feet have regular checkups and actively cooperate with doctors in diagnosis and treatment.
