How to fix flat feet

Stop in addition to support the weight of the body during walking and running, also serves as the lifting mechanism and shock absorber that smooths out the maximum vertical load on the musculoskeletal system. The normal operation of the foot provides arch elastic formation, which consists of the foot bone, ligaments and muscles. Changing the shape of the arches of the foot is called flat feet. The disease is accompanied by loss of shock-absorbing functions of support, various forms of flattening occur in about 45% of adults.





More than 80% of cases flat foot static. Pathology develops due to weakness in the bones, muscles and ligaments of the foot and lower leg as a result of aging, obesity, insufficient physical activity (sedentary, standing work), uncomfortable shoes. Also there is a traumatic flat feet (after fractures), rachitic (violation of the formation of the skeleton of the foot) and paralytic (a consequence of the disease of polio).





Factors functional failure of the stop are laid in childhood and adolescence. The arches of the foot begin to form when the child ceases in a vertical position and starts walking. Only 6-9 years structure of the foot takes the form characteristic of the adult. The final design of the foot is completed by the age of 16-18. For proper formation of the arches of the foot important stimulation of the muscles and ligaments. Stimulants are hard grass, rocks, sand and earth – often need to walk on them barefoot.

Dangerous than flat feet

The flattening of the arches of the foot threatens a violation of posture, with scoliosis. Pressure from the foot is moved on the joints of the lower leg, knees, hip joints and spine. Not fully triggered the depreciation mechanism is not mitigated by the impact force while walking.

This leads to premature wear of the joints, osteoarthritis, osteochondrosis. Some time the body adapts to the "wrong Foundation" stop trying to save the vertical axis. But sooner or later, the allowance compensation is depleted and the pain in the neck and back, headache and dizziness, complaints of discomfort in the knee, etc. With years disturbed the regularity of the gait, may appear limp.

Also flat feet is the cause of development of varicose veins, edema, because in the pathology of the foot ineffective the mechanism of the venous pump of the calf muscles, there is stagnation of blood in the legs. Disorders in the blood vessels of the legs has a negative effect on the cardiovascular system in General, leads to chronic tissue hypoxia (lack of oxygen).





Correction of flatfoot

In medicine there are two main methods of treatment of flatfoot: conservative and surgical. Conservative treatment includes physiotherapy, physiotherapy, wearing orthopedic shoes and insoles. Surgery removed cosmetic defects, which lead to inconvenience in movement.

Correction of flatfoot methods osteoplastica is based on the fact that the flattening of the arches of the foot – not the local pathology (except for injuries), and one of the important components of a compensatory circuit of the body. Therefore, it is important to find the cause, which is the result of flat feet. Correction of flatfoot manual influence techniques based on a deep knowledge of anatomy and function of the foot.

Specialist osteoplastica will accelerate the solution to the problem, conducting a soft painless manipulation on the bones, ligaments and muscles of the feet, on the joints of legs and spine. The hands of the osteopath relieve tension and spasms, normalizes blood flow, dissolve blood stasis, helps the body properly distribute the load so as not to punish the individual joints or the spine.published
