Why You Have Fallen Arches and What to Do About Them

Do You Have Flat Feet or Fallen Arches?

Have you ever looked down at your feet while standing and it looks like something isn’t right with your feet? If you have flat feet or fallen arches, your feet look wide at the middle of your feet – as wide as they are up at the ball of your feet. You may feel as if your feet look like duck feet – not from a webbed standpoint but rather simply like your feet ‘collapse’ as you stand on them.

When a foot is flat, the bones of the feet do not support the foot like a nice arched bridge. Instead, the ‘bridge’ collapses and becomes flat. More of the bones then touch the floor as you stand or walk.

What keeps your feet bones in a nice arched bridge shape is the tendons, ligaments, muscles and bones together.

 As a result of flat feet or fallen arches, your feet will hurt at the end of a day or even after a long walk. If you are a teacher or a salesman standing on your feet during your work shift, you will likely feel crabby and irritated when your feet hurt. In fact, it’s common for those who have flat feet to be tired at the end of the day and not have any energy to do anything. This is because the muscles in your feet are exhausted – and it affects your whole body.

Causes of Flat Feet and Fallen Arches

There are many causes of flat feet in adults. Here are a few of them:

1.      Tendons in the feet that are torn or stretched

3.      Bones that are dislocated in the feet

4.      Some types of arthritis

5.      Nerve problems in the feet from different diseases

6.      Pregnancy

7.      Obesity or being overweight (causes additional pressure on the arches and muscles and tendons and makes the arches fall)

8.      Diabetes

9.      Aging

10.  A genetic disorder
