Flat Feet treatment in Rio Bravo

The orthopedist is the specialist who evaluates flatfoot, a trait in which the inner arch of the foot is lower than usual, so that a larger part of the sole contacts the ground while standing.

What it is: it can be flexible and cause no discomfort, or it can come with fatigue and pain in the feet, ankles, or legs during activity.

Who it affects: it is common in childhood, when the arch is still forming, and it can also be seen in adults.

Professional support: in addition to the orthopedist—including the pediatric orthopedist for children—the physical therapist can help manage discomfort. If you notice pain, fatigue when walking, or changes in your stride, a professional evaluation helps clarify whether follow-up is needed.
