Fallen Arches treatment in Ciudad Juarez

If, when standing, you notice that the sole of your foot rests almost entirely on the ground, or if you feel fatigue and pain when walking long distances, it may be fallen arches. Also known as flat feet, it is the reduction or absence of the longitudinal arch of the foot, so that the footprint is wider than usual.

Common symptoms:

• Fatigue or pain in the feet, ankles, or legs
• Discomfort that increases after prolonged exertion
• Uneven wear of footwear

Why it occurs: it may be congenital or develop over time due to factors such as excess weight, ligament laxity, or changes typical of growth in childhood.

Whom to see? The podiatrist and the orthopedist evaluate the gait and structure of the foot; in children, the pediatrician provides guidance on its progression. With persistent discomfort, it is advisable to seek an evaluation that clarifies whether it requires attention.
