postheadericon Coastal Carolina Podiatry : Arches, Flat Feet, Shin Splints, Achilles heal

Flat Feet, Painful Arches

If you notice that one foot seems flatter than the other, this could be a sign of tendon dysfunction or even rupture. A tendon that does not work properly can lead to the bones not being lined up and this can cause arthritis in the joints. If you treat the tendon problem early, this may prevent damage to your joints.

 

What is Achilles tendonitis and shin splints?

Achilles tendonitis and shin splints are soft tissue inflammations that affect the lower leg.  These conditions are often caused by foot biomechanics. 

 

Why do my heels and/or arch hurt when I get up after I rest?

Sudden bursts of motion without prior stretching after rest can overstretch the tendon that is attached to the heel, also known as plantar fascia.
