What can happen if flat feet go untreated?
Hey, I have had fallen arches for a few months now and I am curious about the potential consequences if I don't do anything to manage them. Currently, I do not have any pain but I have heard that it can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty with standing or walking for long periods of time. I want to know if there are other health issues that could arise if I don't seek treatment and if it could potentially impact other parts of my body, such as my knees or hips. Any advice would help!Asked 7 days ago
