A new surgery can correct a flat footed problem which causes aches and pain throughout the body for many people.
Sometimes when your feet hurt, your back hurts and your whole body can begin to hurt. Ask anyone with flat feet and they'll tell you. It is documented that 25% of people are flat footed.
This is not a cosmetic problem but it causes pain and begins at an early age, carrying on throughout life.
Now there are treatments that can put that bounce back in the step of flat footed people and it's one of The OC's foot/ankle surgeons who can do it. A titanium stent is inserted into the sinus tarsi (fancy for bottom of the foot) and it helps form an arch. The procedure takes less than 30 minutes per foot and there is no "down time" or crutches, pain is minimal and no physical therapy needed.
There are old fashioned remedies as well...like cushioned insoles and anti-inflammatories, but this surgery sounds interesting.
