Flat feet (also known as fallen arches) occur when the arch of the foot collapses or does not develop properly. This can affect how your body absorbs shock and distributes weight, often leading to foot pain, fatigue, and discomfort in other areas such as the knees, hips, or lower back.
At Downtown Foot Clinic, our licensed chiropodists assess your foot structure and provide personalized treatment to improve support, alignment, and overall comfort.
Common Symptoms of Flat Feet
- Pain or fatigue in the arch or heel
- Feet that tire easily after standing or walking

Flat feet can lead to long-term discomfort if not properly supported.
