Flat Foot Treatment in Mumbai

Advanced Diagnosis & Personalized Care at Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic

Flat foot (also known as fallen arches) is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, causing the entire sole to touch the ground while standing or walking. While some people may not experience symptoms, others can develop pain, imbalance, and difficulty with daily activities.
At Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic, we offer accurate diagnosis and customized flat foot treatment to improve comfort, stability, and long-term foot health.

What Is Flat Foot?

Flat foot occurs when the natural arch of the foot is absent or collapses over time. It can affect one or both feet and may develop during childhood or adulthood. In many cases, flat foot worsens with age if left untreated.

Common Symptoms of Flat Foot

• Pain in the heel, arch, ankle, or calf

• Foot fatigue after walking or standing

• Swelling along the inner side of the ankle

• Difficulty walking or running for long distances

• Uneven shoe wear

• Knee, hip, or lower back discomfort due to poor alignment

Causes of Flat Foot

Flat foot can develop due to:

• Weak or damaged tendons

• Genetics or childhood development issues

• Aging and wear-and-tear

• Obesity or prolonged standing

• Injury to the foot or ankle

• Arthritis or nerve-related conditions

Identifying the cause is essential for effective treatment.

Diagnosis of Flat Foot

Our specialists perform a comprehensive evaluation that may include:

• Physical examination of foot posture

• Gait and movement analysis

• X-rays or other imaging if required

• Assessment of footwear and daily activity patterns

This helps us design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

These treatments help reduce pain, improve balance, and prevent progression.
