Flatfoot, or "fallen arches," occurs when the foot's arch collapses, leading to pain or discomfort. Here's why it may happen: 1. Genetic Factors : Some people are born with flat feet. 2. Foot Injury : Injuries can weaken tendons and ligaments in the foot. 3. Ageing : Over time, tendons lose elasticity, causing flatfoot. 4. Overuse or Stress on the Foot : Activities like prolonged standing or excessive walking can weaken the arch. 5. Being Overweight : Extra weight puts pressure on the feet. If you're experiencing flatfoot, consult Dr. Divyanshu, an experienced Orthopedic Surgeon in Lucknow, for a personalized treatment plan.
