- A flat foot can be an innocuous and natural occurrence but in many cases the flatfootedness can be disabling due to weight-bearing problems and pain.
- The causes are manifold and may be due to ligament laxity, muscle imbalance or weakness, inflamed tendons, arthritic joints or nerve related problems.
- Treatment may be nonsurgical or surgical depending on the underlying problem.
- Dr Bothma will do a clinical assessment with the required special investigations and will then advise you in this regard.
