Why are my arches flat and my feet aching?

The medial longitudinal arch in the foot supports the foot, absorbs shock and distributes pressure. As the arches flatten with age and genetics; we lose some of the strength and stability in the feet. The muscles and ligaments attempt to support the foot and the body weight but they quickly tire and fatigue so we end up getting foot fatigue and aching feet. Custom foot orthotics support the medial arch and return the strength and stability to the foot eliminating foot pain and fatigue. Give us a call to schedule a comprehensive foot assessment to see if you would benefit from custom foot orthoses.
