Flat foot, also known as fallen arches, is a condition where
the arch of the foot collapses, causing the entire sole to come into contact
with the ground. This condition can lead to various discomforts, including pain
in the foot, knee, hips, and even lower back. However, with the right
combination of custom-made orthotics and targeted exercises, individuals with
flat feet can experience significant relief.
Dr. Rajiv Agrawal, Clinical Director of Prosthetics &
Orthotics at Foot Care Jaipur, has been at the forefront of treating flat foot
for years. With his expertise and a dedicated approach, Dr. Agrawal provides
patients with personalized care to alleviate pain and improve mobility. His
treatment plan combines the use of custom-made orthotics and a regimen of
carefully prescribed exercises tailored to each individual’s needs.
Custom-Made Orthotics: A Key Solution
Custom-made orthotics are specially designed insoles that
fit into shoes, providing support to the arch and redistributing pressure
across the foot. Dr. Agrawal emphasizes that a one-size-fits-all approach does
not work for flat foot sufferers, as each person’s foot structure is unique.
"Orthotics help in realigning the foot’s natural
position, correcting imbalances, and reducing strain on other parts of the
body," Dr. Agrawal explains. "By carefully analyzing the foot’s
structure and gait, we create personalized orthotics that ensure maximum
comfort and functionality."
At Foot Care Jaipur, the process begins with a detailed
assessment of the patient’s foot and posture. Dr. Agrawal uses advanced
technology to scan of the patient’s feet, ensuring a precise fit. The custom
orthotics are then crafted to provide the necessary support and cushioning,
addressing the specific needs of the individual.
The Role of Exercises in Recovery
While orthotics provide immediate relief, exercises are
essential for long-term improvement. Dr. Agrawal and his team incorporates a
series of exercises aimed at strengthening the muscles of the foot and
improving flexibility. These exercises target the tibialis posterior muscle,
which plays a crucial role in maintaining the foot’s arch, and other
stabilizing muscles.
"Exercises help in restoring the strength and
flexibility of the foot, preventing further progression of the condition,"
Dr. Agrawal adds. "It’s important for patients to be consistent with their
exercise routines to see significant improvement."
Common exercises prescribed by Dr. Agrawal include toe
raises, arch lifts, and calf stretches, which work together to improve foot
stability and alignment.
A Holistic Approach to Flat Foot Treatment
Dr. Agrawal’s treatment plan doesn’t stop at orthotics and
exercises. He also provides guidance on proper footwear, posture correction,
and lifestyle modifications that can complement the overall treatment. Foot
Care Jaipur’s holistic approach ensures that patients receive the best possible
care tailored to their specific needs.
