Understanding Flat Feet: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Solutions

Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, occur when the entire sole of the foot comes into complete or near-complete contact with the ground. This condition can lead to pain, discomfort, and difficulty walking. Flat feet are common and can affect both children and adults. If left untreated, flat feet can contribute to conditions like plantar fasciitis.
